The Fellowship of the Ring extended version is an even better movie. I didn't think it possible, but it is. There are a few little things I miss from the original version, but the additions and replacements make the story hang together even better, and add back in some important foreshadowing and explanation. I think I'm going to end up keeping both of them for comparison's sake.

Still depressed. Maybe even more so. Called Christine trying to get some encouragement--really I just wanted her to come over and hug me--but it didn't work. She told me some things that got me even more down. She thinks I should go out alone to bars to meet people. That just feels wrong for me but I couldn't explain why to her, and I can't explain it now either.

I don't think I'm a bad friend; I've always been willing to go to people when they needed me (and have done it many times). But now I need someone and there's no one here for me.

*hugs*, if you want them. I wish I could come over, but there's this ocean in the way...

i know that calling isn't the same as me being there, and I'm sorry - but (hugs) and you can always call. as evidenced by the collect call from jail that i just received from my friend. (sigh)

so see? it could be worse. :)

lots of *hugs*, and a virtual night out at a diner together drinking coffee and chatting...

*hugs* if welcome.

fwiw, my credo is that if advice sounds totally wrong for you, follow your heart, not the advice. people have given me a lot of really good advice in the past that didn't fit me, my personality, where i was at at that time, whatever. sometimes looking at why the advice felt wrong helped me find a solution that fit me better.

feel better and don't forget that you have friends all over, alas not within easy hugging distance.

You can add a virtual hug and an imagined cuddle from me, too. Unfortunately, geography and my own domestic situation prevent me from giving you anything more substantially satisfying to your tactile senses.

I understand where you are, and wish I could help. I could use a friend right now too, but alas sometimes life doesn't allow us the things we want or need. Don't give up, it will get better. Things always get better, then worse, then better again. Circle of life and all that.

"I couldn't explain why to her"

What's to explain? It's a dumb idea. Who wants to meet crazies without any screening? You'll can't tell if they are the good kind of crazy while yelling over dance music.
