NICE!

You know what's nice? People that doesn't object to someone elses personal opinions.

Like people that "You're moving further away than you have to?"
"Yeah, it's like, right by the beach and it's an awesome house and it's gonna be awesome and AWESOME!"
and they're like
"Nice!" instead of "Oak Grove? Seriously? You're moving to Oak Grove?"
Dude, I'm not interested in your town-patriotic foolishness (can't see the woods for the neighbourtown trees?). The friend we had over this evening even said "Where is it at? We should go look at it!" because he's not very familiar with Oak Grove and curious, and happy for us. And that feels good. And it also enhances the chances of him and his girlfriend coming to visit us, ya know, them being positive.

Also, bf and his friends have been, with the exception for people moving away to study and then returning a few years later, a pretty close knit group of friends for the better part of two decades now. Altough I am very keen on giving myself the pleasure of closeness to water, I still feel guilt for removing bf from said group of friends. Well, you know, 25 car-minutes further away from said friends instead of 25 yards to walk in either direction. Not the biggest issue in the world but still further away than the entire rest of them are from eachother. But what feels good about this thing is the last weeks of discussions I've had with friends and girlfriends and people that hang out in the little group, about their futures. One pair is almost set on moving away from here, one couple IS moving away from here, one couple is moving to the country from here, another couple has one year left at the university and then their chances of getting employed somewhere else is great, one person has landed a job far away and is moving and another is trying out a job far away and will probably move away too. That leaves.. a couple of people. And us, unless we move too.

I mean, just a few months ago, no one seemed to be really moving anywhere. Life was just strutting along and everyone found themselves in the same town they've lived in for 30 odd years and now, well more than 50% is looking around for something else to do. I'd be the sole reason for removing bf from his simple life among friends, but now I'm not. Now it's totally okay, even with the explaination "Well, it's better than being last left", like bf put it.

It's nice to feel that things are seemingly coming at a very suiting point of time.
