Melancholy - Parting is such sweet sorrow
Kristin was here for the past few days, hence the lack of posting. She got in Thursday afternoon - we had 6th row tickets for the Arcade Fire show at the Hollywood Bowl. The show was fantastic, though she hadn't slept at all and we barely got a nap in before being interrupted by work phone calls for both of us. Oh well. I had an absolute blast at the show though and we passed out when we got back.
The rest of the weekend was fun too, Oliver, her dog was along for the ride and we spent a lot of time playing and hanging out with him. He grew to get pretty fond of me, even letting me take him out to go to the bathroom this morning without her, which is pretty impressive since he's so skittish. We played Ratchet & Clank, had a couple good dinners together, and just really enjoyed spending time together - we hadn't seen each other in almost a month.
Now I'm at home, on a Sunday afternoon, and somewhat melancholy. It just all went by too quickly. I think it's harder because her schedule is insane for the next month, and I really don't know when I'll see her again - hopefully during EForAll Expo, but as far as quality time away from the gaming scene, it may be end of October/into November.
I never really have been someone to be emotional when I leave family and friends behind. I think when Tim moved from Lincoln was a rare occasion when I cried. I was somewhat emotional when I moved from Lincoln to Los Angeles when I pulled out of the driveway and then out of Lincoln, knowing I wasn't going back. Kristin leaving the hotel in Seattle last month, and dropping her off at the airport today, have both stirred those really strong feelings in me. I'm not sure what to make of them or how to deal with them. I'm just sort of surprised by them right now.
