What do you miss?

Naiveté and only because I lost it too young.

Oh, and of course my mom..but that is a given.

Want to talk about it? I’m listening.

Being on my college campus, friends from college, the way my childhood friends were before we started rifting, making hilarious home videos with them, manhunt in the summer, camping trips, Letchworth state park, cruise ship vacation.

Her.

My husband because I haven’t seen him in person in 6 months. Taking classes on campus because I’ve been in an online program for the past 2 years due to moving away from my college. My grandfather and aunt because they died when I was a teenager.

Yesterdays

My virginity.

Wit.

School.

I really want to get back to formal learning soon, but money and time are two things I just don’t have in any supply at the moment.

I miss my wife. Due to a death in the family she has been far away for 5 of the last 7 months, including all of the past 3 months. She is expected back in about two weeks.

I miss her so much.

Being a kid, being in shape, being a virgin, being content with the world

What do people miss about being a virgin? I’m still a virgin at age 19, but I don’t think I’ll particularly miss it…

@le_inferno Beats me, too. I’m not. I don’t.

So, how you doin’?

Doc Martins and a Goth community that had nothing to do with Twilight. I guess it means I’m old. I’m sure people back then though Anne Rice was lame, haha.

This has become the virgin coming out thread – what’s going on here?

@bob_ As Edna Krabappel said, HA!

@Symbeline As bob might say: ha! now go make me a sandwich.

@zenele Mastered the art of ordering a sandwich, you haven’t.

* shakes head disapprovingly *

<<< Loves… bob…. very… much, but… can’t order a… sandwich for his… life.

(Did I sound like Kirk there?)

I miss American mayonnaise, hot dogs, bacon, lebanon bologna, Tasty Kakes, Peppridge Farm cookies, good pretzels, Chicklets and my old friends.

But I have learned to love kebabs, meat pies, fish and chips, pasties, salad rolls and my new friends.

I miss education, I really wish I could afford to go back to studying part time. I didn’t realise how much I enjoyed learning until I left school. I also miss the feeling of being carefree, I can’t remember the last time I felt that way but I remember it was a good feeling. I miss a whole number of dogs that have left this Earth especially Baxter and DeeDee, I miss a job I used to have which I left due to believing that the grass was greener elsewhere it wasn’t!

Innocence, hoagies, clean ocean water, my mother, my friend Sheila, dancing, NJ, cool Arkansas nights, deer in my driveway, cold delicious tap water, hills. Now I’m depressed.

I miss New York, New York, The place so nice they named it twice.

@zenele And if you make it there, you can make it anywhere.

@zenele Speaking of which, I miss Winnipeg. Right now I live in a small town full of racists and it sucks. Winnipeg was so big with all kinds of people with different cultures. Everything was an adventure. All I do here is wait to grow old and die.

@zenele – oh yeah, me too, I miss NYC, walking along the river by Gracie Mansion, just roaming anywhere is that city is an adventure! Course Melbourne and Sydney aren’t too bad, just not quite up there with New York.

@rooeytoo I dream to visit your country one day. I have a friend there who has threatened to send me a ticket and put me up for a couple of weeks – one day I will make it down under.

One kid just left the house, the other within a year’s time – then, when I have an empty nest, and have saved up a bit – I shall make it to your beautiful country – perhaps one of the 5 most beautiful places on earth (based on National Geographic and friends’ photos).

There are places here that take your breath away with the drama and the beauty! Let us know when you are coming!

^ You bet.

Thanks.

(Aiming for 2015–2016 – when my kids are both out of the house – and finished their service.)
