this is not a backdoor angsty post about unrequited love; take it at face value
Graduating from college today. Bittersweet, but mostly bitter. Infinitely regretful might be apropos.
Won't miss the place or the classes or any of that claptrap. Will miss many of the people. It hurts that I will never see some of them in any meaningful way ever again.
So many amazing people in the world, none of whom we will get to know as well as they deserve.
It doth render me melancholy and sincere.
We as a species do a great deal to guarantee that we will never truly understand or express how much we value each other. It bothers me that I cannot take my regard for someone and show it directly to them as an independent thing. Language is freighted with ambiguity and we are all inclined to search for the ulterior motive in anything we hear.
The curse of the writer is to understand that everything might have been said better and that every word we speak is a fleck of foam strained from an infinite sea of missed opportunities.
If only we all lived together in an ocean of happy tang.

What about The Great Homecoming **** Fantasy?

Well you're not leaving on a bad note or anything at least are you? :)

What's Tang?

Powdered cordial

:ick: we have similar in our rations. We call it screech for reasons which become obvious to the ingestor.
I miss my sixth form mates. But most of them are arseholes.
So I guess i'm a slave to nostalgic indulgence.

Yeah, the tragedy of language is that when it comes to certain things, it can only describe what isn't, not that which is.

I left university a few years ago and I still keep in touch with a great many that I met there. Fortunately most live only an hours drive away. Facebook fills in the rest of the gaps. Actually Facebook has a been a real saving grace for keeping in touch with these people...say what you will be but it helps me from having these feelings. I feel less isolated and more involved and it leads to more in person interaction as well.

Yeah, but then you run the risk of having your Tang overlap with someone like Shinji, which is sort of a "holy **** no" situation.
