pertinent observations

like any other man or woman, i am a creature of habit. when i lived alone i never thought i'd be able to deal with living with someone. now that i've been living with someone it doesn't feel like i can live alone again. this is confusing.

the significant other left today for a long, long journey that will cover three seas, three continents and three months. which brings me to another point - how do you like your goodbyes? short and painful, or long and tortuous? i've tried both and the unequivocal response is that they both suck equally.
