So, the NewBoy apologized for being insensitive, and things actually settled out as best as they possibly could. I thought that was going to be a lot worse than it was, but we're all good now. Works out because I was pissed at the idea that I was going to miss out on having a "best friend" at work, and now I won't miss out! I win!
Less of a win is the fact that my girlfriend can't get financial aid to pay for out-of-state tuition, and has to leave CA to go back to FL.
Boo. I'm so bummed. We've only known each other for a few months, but I spent the whole summer with her, and will miss her terribly. Also, muse43 is moving to Sweden in march. I understand because her boyfriend is the best guy she's ever dated (by leaps and bounds), but she's been my best friend for a decade, and I'm devastated that I'll see even less of her than I have lately. We went out last night and had a ton of fun. Only pictures are from a polariod, so here's an old pic of us:

What's the nicest thing you've said to someone or they've said to you lately?
- I told my best friend that I'm proud to be her friend because I've always loved her, but in the past few years she's matured and really grown into someone I respect as a person.
- The other day, Volkov told me "if your heart were any bigger, I don't know how you'd even breathe, lady", and it was the nicest thing anyone has said about me in ages.
Okay, now post your good stuff here. And don't feel weird posting nice thinngs about yourself because just as important as saying nice stuff to others is remembering that we all have value.

Just wanted to say hi.
