How Lame!

I've been thinking a lot about finally going back to school here in the fall and I feel both excited and rather disappointed. I mean, it's awesome that I get to start my own little journey to what I want in life, but I'm beginning to see that at the very same time, I'm going to lose out on some things, too.

Ya see, my inner nerd enjoys late night rounds of L4D ( Left4Dead ), one of my favourite PC multi player games. Great game, highly addictive and has stolen away countless hours of my life. :P But what makes the game so great isn't really the game itself. It's the people. I can't even begin to say how much I enjoy playing with the people that I do. I'm not exactly the most social being in the world so I really only play with a certain group of people and they're an interesting bunch. Despite that whole distance barrier, there's people there that I can say are my friends. And the sad part is that I can name off one or two that I feel are better friends to me that some of the one's I have here in Edmonton. My late night geek fests are something that I do look forward to in my day. No matter what kind of day I had.. playing, laughing and joking just makes it so much better if only for those few hours.

Sadly, I don't think playing games and chit chatting until 5 AM almost every night is going to fly well with going to school. Well, okaaay. I know it won't. And I feel a little lame with just how sad the prospect makes me. I know I have weekends and all the countless holidays.. but waaaah. You have no idea how much I'm going to miss certain said people. No matter how many mistakes I make, how much we bicker and argue, the endless teasing or the awkward situations.. I pretty much love every moment of it. :) And I hope someone knows just how much I do.

I also hope my crazy, shenanigan loving late night crew doesn't forget about me too quickly. Or replace me with certain alpha bitches.. ahem cough cough cough. ;P Fuck salads.
