This is the first Christmas for me away from home. It's bothering me more than I thought it would. I've just been struck by a feeling of loneliness. It's pretty unusual for me to feel lonely. Even when I've been totally alone for a long time I never felt lonely. I think if I were totally isolated from people I wouldn't feel so lonely, but being in a city full of people without much association makes things different. I have friends here but I have to drive an hour to see any of them. I think that makes it worse. It makes it difficult to just ring someone up for a movie night or a game of pool or something. I find it harder to make connections with people here. It also doesn't help that I'm somewhat of a reserved introvert. I know I should probably make a better effort to make those connections, but it's not my usual nature. I'm sure I'll feel better after christmas. This blog entry is a bit too EMO for me.

Holiday blahs happen to the best of us.

We're all allowed 1 emo post a year. There's no shame in holding out until the last days of December. But come January, I don't wanna hear you complaining. Don't think I won't report you to the proper authorities!!
