Absence
I dropped Kiyoko off at the airport yesterday. Rough. I have lots of friends, even close ones, but people I can live with well are a rarity (I think for everyone). Having her stay with me for ten days reminded me that she's one of the Very Very Few, and more so, it feels right to have her as part of my household. I also live with Des really well, but it doesn't feel like a lack. I think I'd feel that lack if Derryck moved out -- we've just gotten really comfortably with each other. Kiyoko is similarly comfortable except with even more silliness and adventure.
Starting to realize that even though I love the idea of having my own place, my ideal would probably be some kind of rambling cohousing or mini commune. As long as I got to pick the people. :P
(My desire to be in charge is kind of a problem with this daydream. Ah well).
I'm worried -- as always -- that I won't do a good enough job at keeping in touch with Kiyo. I do tend to be preoccupied with the people around me in-the-moment (whether in meatspace or those that pop up on social media frequently), to the detriment of other communication. It's not usually a problem -- if a friend is good enough, a few months' silence doesn't matter, as Lyns and I have proven time and again -- but it's a little worrying when someone is very far away for an indefinite time. We did get Kiyoko hooked up with Minecraft and Lynsey's server, though, so I'm hoping we'll run into each other in the blocky pixel universe, at least!
(Also: I just got an email from her. She arrived safely and doesn't have jet lag, so yay!).
