Yesterday..

She works on campus now. She's as amazing and fascinating as always, and the high regard is mutual. (She said she'd e-mailed her boyfriend in DC, telling him how very excited she was to be having lunch with me.) We had a great lunch and thoroughly enjoyed each others' company.

*sigh*

She's moving at the end of August, to be with the boyfriend. She's really excited and happy about it. Her eyes dance when she speaks, and when she talked about going to be with the guy, they damn near did the Sugar Plum Fairy. I'm happy for her. She deserves wonderful things, and wonderful people. I just wish she weren't moving. :-(

I feel cheated. This amazing, phenomenal person comes into my life and likes me as much as I like her. Then I find out that she's heterosexual, but I get over it fairly quickly, because really, can you have too many of that caliber of friend?? No. No, you can't. But now she's moving away, and I hardly even know her! We'll keep in touch, of course... but it's not the same.

This is where I bludgeon myself for being so damned unsociable and wasting the time I could have spent getting to know her. She's been attending my church since September. I met her in January, we've gotten together for lunch twice since then and hugged at church once. She's moving at the end of August.
