Random stream of consciousness

the past week and weekend, I have been out every single day with workfriends and others. i think it's the fact that after bizz trip with pustuled pests, i am glad to be back with intelligent beings.
i feel giddy everytime i am at work because after the whole jobless, twiddling thumbs work days i faced and mindless presentations on trips, i finally know place in organization and how decisions of mine affect org's place and that if i ever were to ask oldbossman or oldCEo or any others a question, mindless org tripe would not be fed my way,
and yet,
if i were to be completely honest with myself, i am simply not happy. i am kind of confused by unbloggable things
its like the pieces of my life are not in the right places. and i know i am being a big wimp and whining over things again and again and again and again.
but i simply refuse to get out of angst filled funk by sheer will and determination and all that crap.
why should i?
i mean, yes, like roomie told me, i should try and do it for my mental health.
but really, i don't think i want to bury everything deep down inside. i want to examine this funk and get to a place where i can feel comfortable ejecting it out.
the truth is i can no longer face this loneliness any more, this aching hole left by not being with the boy.
i spent 2 hours on phone with single friend on diff continent who raised interesting points of how i should be sure that even if the boy left, i would be ok on my own, and that my identity should not be defined by boy, etc, etc.
if the boy and i ever broke up, i would be devastated and then i would move on and be fine.
i know that deep down inside because i need people. and much as i love the boy, i simply refuse to be alone and out.
as for my identity - i am still me but a me that's changed by boy's presence in my life. and if the boy and i ever broke up, i would be that changed-by-relationship-me because hell, that would be a waste wouldn't it? if after 5 and 1/2 years later, i am not affected by boy at all?
The point is, right now boy and I are together and yet not. i feel like i am in hibernation without him. and why should i not examine that?
he gets me. i get him. we make each other laugh. why should i not upset by the fact that my best friend is not with me right now?
so, i have made decision to change all this - try and transfer to his state, or failing that, get another job there. or make him come here, which is way more difficult and beside, i like sunnystate better than here.
i want badly to end this post on a light note or a joke but i can't think of anything.
and people who know me in real-life, please, please don't email/phone/IM/talk about this post to me UNLESS you have a blog where you air out your angst too.
I am getting tired of real-life friends (except for BFFs & FFs) bringing up blog based angst that they want to dissect and not being willing to share any of their life angst with me.
Yes, I know i sent you this link because i am a center-of-attention whore but if you are not willing to share your life with me, just read, pass judgment behind my back and move on.
The older I get, the less I feel like getting face-to-face, telephone-to-telephone or IM-to-IM advice, solace and opinions from closeted people with no angst/news/happiness to share of their own.
oh PS: it's an anti-climax, i know (thanks JT) - but boy didn't get his visa. on to plan B.

I so know how you feel. Ro and I had a long distance relationship for nearly 4 out of our 6 years together, something that so drove me up the wall I first moved to Bangalore to be closer by and then decided that I could not wait for him to leave Kottayam and wound up here. You know the rest. I think moving to sunnystate is a good plan.

Long distance relationships are hard, no matter who you are or what your circumstances are. It might work for a while, but then the distance needs to end. Go to Sunnystate. Be with Boy. Execute plan B, and if that doesn't work, go with plan C. Life works out the way it does and sometimes you can influence it and sometimes not. You need some joy in your life and it doesn't sound like you have it where you are - so go to where the joy is. If that happens to be with the Boy, so much the better! Money isn't everything. Neither is location if you have to sacrifice your happiness to be in that place.

I"m not particularly angst-y right now, but I have my moments... does that count?
