Small sorrow

[vsbeetle]

I went out with an old schoolfriend or three tonight. I am sad because the bloke who organised this has decided to move to NZ, next Friday. I haven't seen him in ten years. He is one of the good guys, as are the other folk I was out with (who are probably still clubbing as I speak). How can this gem, who I just got back in touch with, move across the planet? I don't know his wife or his child or the one who will arrive shortly after they move. How did I miss so much of this man's life? I've forgotten so much about the day-to-day of him. He had me in stitches with his impressions, and also marvelling that he's such a royal PITA and would be a world-class troll if he owned a computer.

As an aside, how and when did his little brother grow up to be such a great bloke? I mean, seriously, ladies in your late twenties, look out for this bloke because he's a catch. Last time I saw him he was about ten and covered in grot. It's a slight culture shock.

(PS those here who know me well in RL can try and guess who it is I'm talking about from the above description. ;-)

Yeah, it happens :(

I think that's why I avoid these occasions where possible.

There's no way I could have missed the night, and his family are having a brunch thing tomorrow that we're also going to. It's just... I suppose we all behave as if there's millions of time then there isn't anymore.

Now there's a cheerful thought...

I know, I know. But YKWIM, right? It wasn't gloomy so much as startled. ;-)
