I am not sure if that is like Sleepless in Seattle, but maybe... I can definitely sleep. I have discovered that not having three or four blazing red digits burning into your sleepless eyeballs actually makes a difference in how well I sleep. I sleep better sans a clock staring me in the face. Who knew? I had even gotten a little used to waking up on time, sans alarm, when I was with Oz, and now, even on the weekends, I will wake up by 8am. I am amazed at how long the weekend really is!
But that is kind of a tangent. I am checking in with you all because I had the sudden realization today that I do not have any friends here! I, who everyone seems to be able to talk to anytime and anywhere, do not have any friends here. We are not talking Oz (we agreed to be friends, but honestly, how many of us are truly friends with an ex?). We are not talking co-workers (work needs to stay at work, generally speaking). I am talking about that girl, that guy... who you can call in a heart beat because you have had a crappy day and get drinks with. Someone who will tolerate the occasional tirade, the frequent bad boyfriend, the funny jokes and quick wit, the person you know will try that newly discovered restaurant with you.....That person.
I know, I know. I have only been here for a month. And I didn't really know anyone before I moved here. But, it reminds me of when I moved to Cincinnati and didn't know anyone there either. I did have a few single coworkers...at least, at first. They all got boyfriends, fiances and husbands.
Anyway, I digress again. But there is really nothing more to this post than just this: I realized today, that I do not have any friends in Atlanta. And that was depressing.
