So Long, So Long

It was dumb to start a new journal so carelessly after writing in the other one for so many years. I don't want those old entries to be lost to the dredges of cyberspace, but I have to update once every three months on the old journal so it's not deleted. Something like "Update" or "I'm only typing this so you don't get deleted, Blog-city journal." I really want to preserve all the entries in a safer place, on my hard drive, for example, but the effort required is ridiculous. I wrote in it for the better part of three years and I updated a lot. Damn.

Eric left today. We were up last night, Eric, Eric's brother Nick, Kevin, and I setting off fireworks 'til four or five. We filled a cardboard box with everything we had left and covered it in gasoline. It was pretty. Eric's going to do well in Arizona because everyone needs that crazy friend that he epitomizes. I'm glad he finally got a cell phone even though it feels like a few years too late. I can't explain how many days would've been simpler if he was just slightly easier to get in touch with. He's taking my graphing calculator because what the hell do I need it for and, essentially, he stole it and will not give it back. If I had any intention of taking a math class ever I might be a little more concerned. I'm calling it a graduation gift. It feels like the end of an era. I'm very uncomfortable. It makes me want to pack, but it's way too early.

So far I've said good bye to Tony, Eric, and Milne.
