Wishing I was at a bar right now...

OH! I miss New Orleans.
Not so much the city,
but the life I lead there.
I miss my friends, events, intellectual discussions.
At times in school I was a bit dissatisfied by
my seemingly low social life.
I find it is even worse at home.
I desperately want friends.

Not in a I'm lonely going to kill myself way,
but in a need for physical companionship.
I love the friends I made,
and I am so thankful for the internet and IMs.
But we all need human interaction.
To see the familiar faces walking around campus.
To be able to knock on someone's dorm room door
just to hang out.

I miss not having those relationships anymore.
Just like when I was in New Orleans I missed my familial relations.
It is nice to be home and get to know my family again.
My 15 year old sister is amazing.
She reminds me so much of myself at that age,
but she is brash and social and so many things I have always been envious of others about.
I really adore her some days.

Debate tonight!
Hence the desire to be at a bar.
This could be such a fun night with friends!
I learned at Tulane that politics can be fun.
In the right context it shouldn't be nasty or an off the table topic.
At home I can't speak about politics without my dad losing his cookies.
I am so desperate for normal conversation!

Mas despues!
