I was talking to Stepharoo in the kitchen last night as we often do. And I realized it's probably the last time she and I will sit and talk in our kitchen together. Our house is breaking up. Steph and Nik are moving to NYC and Lauren's off to who knows where. She and I stood among the boxes and she told me about her theory on making friends out of necessity. You know, when you make friends because you have to especially when you move to a new place. But sometimes those friends turn out to be people you want to be friends with anyway. People who you'll always have in your life no matter what. She's one of those friends. She figured it out before I did. She's right, it's like breaking up, only worse. Losing a boyfriend doesn't suck this bad.
I'm really going to miss her. It's all my fault she's leaving. I was the one that decided to move across the country. Or maybe it's Paul's fault. If he weren't such a #*&^$ landlord we might still be living there. But in all honesty it's been an amazing thing for her. She got a great new job and she's moving to an awesome city. And we'll still see each other. It just won't be in our kitchen late at night...
What am I going to do without her?
