i'm a pixel here, myself

So, um, there was some awards thing last night? I missed it because FRE came over for her last dinner chez moi and I was too busy trying not to bawl my eyes out. In the end, she beat me at Scrabble by three points and this morning I drove her and her boyfriend to the airport and continued trying not to cry. I'll be okay, probably. Just... it might take a while. It's hard letting go of a best friend who's more like a sister, and with the exception of her study abroad in Australia, we haven't been apart for more than a couple weeks at a time in six years. Now she's gone to Scotland for a minimum of three, and while I'll visit her over there I don't think she'll be back here that often. And the time difference sucks.

Still no internet at home. I've passed through despair and have moved on to the practical realities of where to get my fix. Work is still the big one, but I'm out for at least part of the day today and all of tomorrow, what with a doctor's appointment and New Roommate E's arrival, so I haven't had a chance to copy all of the *gorgeous* pics from the TCAs over to my LJ photo albums. I *will*, though, so don't worry. And yes, Mayhem fans, the pictures of him and Jared will of course make the cut. Because wow, Jared looks pretty damn good in them, doesn't he? I'm not yet at a place where I'm capable of talking about Jensen, for serious. Holy shit. THE BOOTS. THE SCUFFED BOOTS. AKFJSHGKJSFH.

Oh, and the next phone sex thing is... taking longer than I thought. Apologies.
