I miss Minneapolis. When I go through the airport, the people feel so familiar, and the women so attractive. Fuck.

It frustrates me when they seem to not grasp what loneliness feels like, or how crazy-making it can be. It’s survivable, but it doesn’t feel very healthy.

“But it must be so nice to have time for yourself!”

Yeah, I hear ya.

I have never felt so alone since moving to San Francisco. I think the city is making you doubt yourself.

Thank goodness you are blogging again. Good for you for doing your part to help stimulate our economy. Cough New Deal redux cough. But Shuffles are great. I love how light they are for running. My iPod is so far holding out well, but I use that for walking aimlessly, because it’s too heavy and unwieldy to run with.

Not that I’m running that much. :-( Gotta get back!

Oh, so you got a replacement? I bet it was your feminine charms that made the difference. The “Genius” who helped me merely gave mine a brief look and said, “Sorry man, can’t help you with that. People on Craigslist buy the dead ones, you know.”

I was all sorts of frustrated with the customer service for the Shuffle I had. But, they replaced it twice, so suppose I can’t complain. This latest is also giving out, and maybe I’ll get one with a screen next time.

Thanks. I’d hug you too.

I think the loneliness is compounded by grad school and the often solitary labor it requires. My one officemate has relocated to the East Coast for an indefinite period, so I’ll now have to make a greater effort to make sure I talk to someone every day. But at least I have a workplace, as stressful as it sometimes may be.

I really wish I could give you a hug right now.

It’s starting to seem to me like *every* state of relationship-being (single, coupled, and all the gray area in between) has its issues. Still, on the loneliness…I’m with you.

Sigh.

No, you kid because you’re an alpha male—a paragon of traditional masculinity, in fact—which means it is as natural for you to push around guys like me as it is for the noble Canada Goose to begin its southerly migration this time of year.

But that’s OK, I can deal.
