A fair bit has been happening lately which i will eventually blog about, but tonight its all about one thing....
One of my best mates from high school Jun is leaving for overseas... For how long we don't know.
Now all through high school i had the most massive crush on this boy!
We hooked up a couple of time ( a few more then we should have). Since then we have form a really close friendship.
About 4 years ago he told me he was joining the army, I was super pumped for him but at the same time worried our friendship wouldn't sustain the 4 years he had to spend in the army. He was stationed in Darwin which is a 5 hr plane flight from Melbourne and being in the army he really didn't have much spare time so visiting was hard.
He came back every so often and we would catch up and at one point i flew to Darwin to spend a week with him. He paid for me to stay in a swish hotel for the whole week. It was a a great week, everything i wanted to see he had no problem driving me there, one day i was there i was so sick he went out and bought me soup and every possible drug you can think of to make me feel better.
He was then sent of to Kuwait which i was not so happy with... the thought of him fighting a war just didn't sit right with me, but it was something he felt the need to do so i backed him 100%
He has now left the army and has decided to go and live overseas... most likely Canada.
I know this is going to sound extremely selfish especially because i myself wanted to do it, but i don't want him to go.
I will miss the random late night/early morning phone calls consisting of a drunk Jun telling me all about his night and that I'm soft because i didn't go out, or that he cant get a cab and him begging me to come get him.
I will miss on christmas him calling me inviting me over to his house only to walk in the front door and have him demand i wrap his Christmas presents because he is terrible at it.
I will miss the catch ups and hearing all about his love life and how i think he falls in and out of love way too easily and that's the reason he gets hurt.... not to mention my Stearn words when he tells me he cheated on his girlfriend (I promise he is a great guy!!)
I will miss him not being 5 minutes away and when i need someone not being able to drive over and see him.
I will miss his terrible taste in movies.... i don't think that we have ever seen a decent movie together that he has picked.
But most of all i will just miss him.
I just got home from his going away and although it was a great night i couldn't help but remember all the fun time and shenanigans we have gotten up to in the past 10 years, like walking through Rosebud McDonald's drive thru at about 4am and them not serving us because we weren't in a vehicle(it was after midnight so you could only get served through the drive thru) so 10 minutes later he goes through wearing a cardboard box whilst another of our friends makes engine noises.... PRICELESS.
Hopefully i will eventually be able to get over to Canada and visit him but until then i just don't like the idea of him not just being a quick phone call and 5 minute drive away.
Selfish i know.... but bad luck!
