The last one out

savvyliterateI'm sitting here alone in the newsroom...it's my last night here.
Today's been really strange. When I left The Crimson White last year, I nearly bawled the entire day. Now, I just feel...indifferent. It's not really hit me yet that I'm leaving everything I've ever known to go start all over. When I moved here I had family and friends close by. With the exception of James being 20 miles away, I will have NO ONE in Bristol. Scary, isn't it?
I looked back at my post from when I moved to Selma last year, comparing myself to Mary Tyler Moore. I realize then I was wrong. Now I really AM Mary Richards. Mary had to leave everything she was familiar with to start all over. I'm doing the same.
I've never had so many offers to go out to eat as I did today. FOUR in one day! Dale's taking me out to lunch, Marguerite already did and Jean and another guy I did stories on want to take me out as well. I got taken out by another friend last week. I wish my dating life was like this! Who knows, maybe I'll actually have a social life in Bristol...although I've never been THAT social. I'll at leat have something to do instead of go home to my apartment and stare at the walls every night.
I have to get ahold of Lance somehow. It's only right to tell him I'm going to Virginia and besides, he has one of my nightstands AND Yoko's photos!
I haven't heard from Brian in ages. I miss talking to him.
