semperfiona | Gods it's been a long time

Finally got to chat with Paul for a while this evening. Gaming didn't happen, which is depressing, especially since Jen needed the diversion, but he logged on late and I was still here so we got to talk for a change. Now that I don't have daytime IM access, I hardly ever get to talk to him anymore.

I miss that constant connection. Even if I don't talk to my friends every day, somehow just knowing they and I are online at the same time feels a little bit like being in the same room doing different things, because the moment something interesting crops up we can mention it to each other. Even just seeing their names in the buddy list is somehow reassuring: still alive, still my friend.
