Miserable

[LittleFury]

So... as some of you know, I'm in Israel right now. Been here for a few days, and today is the first day of school. Spent the weekend with my sister. So...
Now I'm back in my room. It's about 6:10, and I just wanna cry. I feel so miserable. It is too early to call him, and too early for me to go to bed. And we have been not been apart much since we gotten together about 3 years ago. And I am going nuts, counting down the day. Anyone got any ideas? I have done all the reading I have to do, and I don't want to go to the beach, too many jelly fish. And I know it's good for us to be apart for a bit. I just wish it didn't feel so miserable. So anyone got any ideas?

Ooops... too late?

You could cry, sometimes that helps! (There is no law against feeling miserable and sometimes you just gotta fully enjoy it!)

Seriously... one thing we do when we are miserable missing each other is write long emails. That way we feel like we are spending time together... and in a way we are, at least in our minds.

Another idea is post on 101. Oh, you did that!

You might check out some of the long distance relationships sites... you'll find that there are lots of ideas -- and a lot of misery... but they say misery loves company!

I hate to see you like this Lil'

Well when my b/f and I were in a LDR what I would do when I couldn't talk to him everyday was I would write to him about my day every night. It was kind of like a journal but it was just a way to tell him about my day whether it was exciting or boring. Or just that I was thinking about him...or anything really. Then by the end of the week I'd have pages and pages lol, its a lot to mail but at least you feel like he's been apart of everything you are doing. And tell him to do the same. Its so awesome getting like a 20 page letter. that way you have something physical of his.... that you can read over again if you get lonely.

Luv ya girl!!
Hang in there

There is a program called skype. I use it to talk to my g/f whenever we are apart. If you have good quality speakers (not that plastic crap they usually sell for computers) it's almost like she is right beside me. And best of all, it's free! You can keep the line open all the time, and speak to her whenever you like, and at the same time do what you do. Only problem is, you can't hug her or kiss her, which can be a real torture after a while.

Well, we talk twice a day normally, except the weekend then I'm at my sisters. He calls me the first thing in the morning to wake me up. And then he calls me before his work starts, since it is a lot cheaper for him to call me. And because weekend here is Friday and Saturday, I get to chat with him for part of the weekend.
It's now officially been the longest we've been apart. And it is just very lonely in the hotel room. Most people go to the beach or the bar at this time, around 9 pm. But I don't like going to bars and jelly fish at the beach freak me out. So here I am. Still miserable. And there is 3 weeks more to go. And connection here in the hotel is not good enough to write a long email
Btw, I did find one place finally that serves bacon. so woohoo

Bacon in Israel. What will they think of next! LOL

Buttercup's journal idea has a lot of merit... and can be done as email daily as well... can you work offline?

Of course by the time you figure everything out it will be time to come home!
