I live in Portland, OR

It's true, I do.  What I mean is... I don't feel like I'm on vacation, or I'm just visiting.  I feel like I live here now - and I keep accidentally typing 'love' in place of 'live', which is not inappropriate.  It's a really cool city.  I feel very safe here, very comfortable - much like I felt right at home my first time on UNL campus when I

Yay - glad you like it there!

I think that Buzz should move there when he graduates so that you guys can have one giant, gay orgy. All day. Every day.

What is the situation on the new job. I knew that you had one, but not what it was. Dish.

Buzz has found himself in the same sort of friend situation. Half of his core group is gone/going and it seems like he is either alone or hanging with Brian. Which, let's face it, is a sort of depressing situation to be in. I told him to reconnect with some of his Japan friends.

It just takes time. A winsome, awesome guy like yourself will have more friends than you know what to do with before too long.

Yeah.. I'm torn on that issue. Obviously, I miss my friends, and it'd be awesome if a few people came out this way. On the other hand, I couldn't actually expect people to move out here... the only material reason is me being here. I'm cool, but I can't ask people to come here FOR ME. Portland is fucking awesome, and if people wanna go somewhere liberal and cultural, it's a great destination - but I can't hold my breath.

Plus, really, it's only gonna hinder me from building real new friendships here (of course, not at the expense of the old ones, but just additional ones) if I spend all my time wishing the old ones would come here for my convenience. It's the easy answer (for me), but not the realistic one.

That said - anyone I know is always welcome to use my apartment is a doorway to getting to Portland while searching for an apartment/job.
