A post about my general state of mind; deep thoughts brought about mostly by CHSH, though not really about CHSH
After each of my previous tweetups, I experienced the same “post-tweetup depression” that many of you have mentioned and dealt with before.
But when I got back to Cleveland late Sunday night and back into routine Monday, I didn’t feel it at all. It was a perfectly relaxing weekend spent with some of the best people I have in my world.
But today is different.
I’m not depressed. But I am so profoundly sad.
These are the people I want to spend my time with. The people I value above almost all others. The people I love more dearly than I can expound on. The people that JUST GET IT.
Even the folks I didn’t know, or the folks I didn’t want to meet (not very many of those), at least they UNDERSTAND.
I don’t have those relationships here. As much as I love my best friend, I can’t talk with him about the same things I chatter on about with Lindsey or Jill or Chris or or…
Not can I just be with these people physically the way I am with my current friends around me here. And I don’t mean like that, just the hugs, the looks, the kisses.
There’s no one here for me like that.
Which certainly makes the strongest case for my Loosely Formulated Moving Plans, but none of them are in the same places….
And so I’m sad. I’m sad that while Jill and I have great phone and Kik conversations, I can’t hug it cuddle or walk with her. That Lindsey is close enough to kiss and yet so far away in our schedules, at the same time. That Chris and Wendy or Dan or Dan and Tara are all other places that I can’t be right now.
Not to mention all the other people that mean so much that I haven’t hugged yet.
So I may not be suffering from post tweetup depression. But I suffer for a little while nonetheless.

And I still have maybe one photo of myself and Jewles. Here’s a pic of her fantastic husband Ian (and obligatory photobombing Dan).
Those two are singlehandedly responsible for getting me to come to CHSH last year in the first place. They are some of my oldest Internet friends.
And of course Jewles is my Fake Internet Wife.
Love you both long time. You may yet find me living within driving distance.

I need some advice.
Reblog for the morning crew.
This is also an invitation to make suggestions.
My extremely loose future plannings have me moving to awesome somewhere near the end of the year, after my next/current apartment lease is done (and after I have, in theory, become full time).
The trouble is, I don’t know where this awesome somewhere is or should be.
Jen has me considering DC. I’ve always loved Chicago. So so many friends in Grand Rapids. I could possibly even be talked into the Carolinas (hint to Team Mendelbutt).
Where should I consider moving to, and why?

Team Mendelbutt
I would be sorely amiss without saying something publicly about Ian and Jewles, two of the best and brightest you will find anywhere, let alone a social community like Tumblr.
From opening their home to me, to carting me around town during CHSH 2011, to general emotional support, I can’t think of this place without them.
Love you two. So dearly.

A mildly generalized post about the menfolk
I’ve said a few things about and to some of my favorite guys. Now I’m calling some more out.
I have nothing but the highest respect for these dudes. I look up to them, because they’re obviously so awesome.
I’m talking about you:
Clint, John, Jack, Coty, Chris, Dan, Dan, Fred, Jeff, Carl, Ian…
Of course there’s more. Sorry if I missed you.
You guys rock.
