Okay... so I'm doing all right since I've gotten back. I only cried once last night which makes it only once since I've gotten home that I've cried. That only happened, though, because I was stressed by this crap that one of my 'friends' is pulling. She keeps saying that I slept (had sex with) Alex several times over through trip. I didn't. She's just saying it because she's angry that things went well (childish but true), she was convinced Alex was going to rape me and because that didn't happen she is mad. But, yeah, that's the only reason I was crying last night. Alex got on video chat with me even though he was tired (his friends wouldn't go home until almost midnight his time) but he promised me video time so he got on (I told him I could wait until next week if he was too tired but he's a stubborn guy).
So that's about where I am right now. Annoyed with my 'friend' who can't just be happy for me, and wishing I was back there.
Here's the choice I face now. My laptop sucks. Y'all have heard me complain about it before, probably. It is just horrible. I mean, I love having a laptop, but this one isn't good. So I need a new one. However, I really, really, really want to go see Alex on his birthday. They cost about the same. Well, the trip might cost a little more since I would be paying for a hotel room this time. However, I brought this up to Alex last night that I know I should be saving up for a new laptop because I think this one is going to die soon, but I want to see him so much more. His response was that I should get the laptop first because if I don't have that it'll be so much harder for us to keep in contact. I see his logic so I told him I'd save up and then decide, which he thought was a good idea.
But I REALLY want to see him again soon and I KNOW I can get the money to go visit on his birthday. Would be a short visit (4 days) but I think it'd be worth the thousand dollars. He is supposed to come visit me at some point, but he worked himself into debt with this trip I just took (refused to let me pay for any of my food or contribute with the hotels) so he has to pay off the credit card debt before he starts saving for a trip to visit me. Hence, the quickest way for us to see each other again is for me to save up, deal with my laptop longer, and go see him.
It's a choice between an assured next visit or an assured line of communication far beyond that. Advice? Opinions?
Thanks a bunch, y'all.
