Yup, this, Ginger.
Although, Sean, I know it can be so isolating. Loneliness is hard.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I was having such a good day, with really good friends, then BAM! I got home, and it was like a punch in the face.

HI Sean!
Good luck sans St. Woot, smonster!
I had a pretty good day--got up at a decent hour, got some breakfast, sewed a couple of little zippered pouches (one for me, with a red-with-blue-anchors-and-white rope patterned fabric, one for the roomie with pink and brown and polka dots and a cupcake patch on the back). And then we went to the running store and I bought new things for my shoes (to hopefully keep my shin splints under control), and then to Ben and Jerry's. And then walked a bit, took some pictures of her for a contest, got some sushi, came home and sewed her a tote bag (I'd bought her fabric that had runners and "you go girl" and stuff printed on it). And now I'm watching SYTYCD!

I'm feeling a little better now, but it is kind of an all-the-time thing.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I wish the black dog would stop harassing you, as i'm sure you do too.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Loneliness...ach, it is gutting. You can feel lonely in the middle of a crowded room. And booze is a depressant; you can switch from euphoria to bone-deep sadness at the flip of a switch.
You may feel lonely and sad, my dear Sean, but you are not alone.
And yes, I broke my arm, on the only occasion D is away from me for 6 days. I feel lonely, too, but talking to y'all is keeping me from losing my doogies.
I (this is a secret) want desperately to feel cosseted and loved right now, but I am DAMNED if I will let D know this, and I need to be strong and together for my dad, mom & sister now. So. I am here with my arm alone until Thursday, channeling stoicism.
So if you need to talk, Sean, you are NOT alone and I am here, should you need an ear. Feel free to e-me and get my cell number; I am quite a damned good listener...and I get it.
Much love your way.

Yeah, as Ginger says, I can't even imagine how much lonelier I'd be without all you lovely people.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It sucks that we can't have the physicality of being there to combat the loneliness, to say, "I'll be right over." But it makes up for it in other ways, in skipping right over geographic boundaries and time zones so we can be together wherever.

...Also, it means we can talk to each other whilst sitting in our underwear, without shyness! I'm doing it right now AIFG!
