I never right click in my messenger list. That's how you can go and delete people; I never do that and yet over the past few months I did it a total of four times. I want to say it was something I said (because I did in fact say something), but all attempts to reach previously said person have gotten zero reply. I remember the last time something like this happened. I worried every time I saw them come on line. I would read away messages, feel as if I was somehow connected to the away messages that read "fuck off", "whatever", and other ones meant to warn people away. Just like before, I would worry about it, feel helpless and unable to do a damn thing about the situation, and then worry about being unable to do a damn thing about the situation. It was a viscous cycle. Unlike before, I sent my last message, and quietly deleted the name off my list. It took over 5 months to do that last time, where it reached the point that apathy exceeded worry and every last possible realistic option had been exhausted.
In happier news, there was a drive by shooting 100 yards from my Service Learning site on Tuesday when I was there. Nobody was hurt, but they had a city block police taped off. I do believe they caught the person responsible as well. I am supposed to be out there tomorrow to help with setting up the machines in preparation for classes that start Monday. If all goes well, that process will only take about 2 hours. Thanks to work and scheduling, those two hours will be from 4-6, and later if need be. It's fun city I tell you.
A lot of people I know are going to Vegas for break. Aside from the expensive alcohol and the expensive gambling, I am still trying to discern what is out there that could motivate such a large exodus. As for me, I hope to see some of my final-ridden friends, possibly celebrate post midterms / finals (depending on your school), and towards the end of the week, something like the 21 or so, head home for the second ever Geekend. Where last time focused on the brand new XBox, I think this one will be focusing on amusingly pointless RP. I see it as a good thing, since I tend to be the one doing GM duties here in Monterey. It will be a nice change not to have to focus on all that.
Until WR #8 downloads, I shall continue to watch Now and Then, Here and There, as it takes up half of my screen. The other half is, of course, reserved for you.
