I need company

[bunsen_h]

Folks, I'm getting rather desperate for social contact.  As I'm having more trouble getting around, I'm not even getting as much of the minimal social interaction involved in shopping and so forth.

I'd really like to spend time with people.  I can take the bus, if the ride isn't too long and if I can lie down for a little while afterwards.  I can walk for a couple of blocks, ditto.  I can visit people, if I can spend at least some of that time lying down.  A floor with a bit of carpeting is good enough to lie on, though something like a sofa is better.

Visitors here are welcome.  I have a modest assortment of old board games from when I was young.  I enjoy other games not requiring too much strategy or other serious intellectual challenge; at this point, I'm not up to complex brain work.  I enjoy movies in several genres.  I would happily consider other activities, provided that they're suited to someone low on energy and limited in mobility.  But on the whole, intelligent conversation is what I crave the most.  Careful hugs from friends are also welcome.

Brother, sister, can you spare some time?  Please?

It's a bit far to drive, but I'd love to spend some decent social time with you. Someday...

Life is crazy at this moment, of this day... but I am keeping this in mind, and would love to come over at some mutually convenient time in the next week and maybe play a board game?

Sure. Please give me a call when you have some idea of when you might be available. At the moment, I've got an appointment on Tuesday afternoon and tentatively plan to go swimming on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, but my time is fairly flexible.

I think I am up for swimming on Friday, can I join you? If so where?

[bunsen-h.livejournal.com]

My father's apartment building is my usual place -- same building that xiphia lives in, that the Caldrithig choir practices in, etc.; I can give more details privately if you need them. I'd love to have the company.

(I also plan to swim this coming Friday and (probably) Sunday afternoons, if you'd be interested in either or both.)

I have a job interview Monday! While this a very good thing, I am going to/am in the middle of freaking out/studying. Especially as I promised I_and_t and tj that I and or forms would be over at i's this Sunday. So no swimming for me until next week.

distance sucks :( i'll try to call more often *hugs*

[popelaksmi.livejournal.com]

Are you available tonight?

[popelaksmi.livejournal.com]

tonight = thursday evening.

[bunsen-h.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[popelaksmi.livejournal.com]

I'll call beforehand to confirm, but say around 7-7:30 ish?

[bunsen-h.livejournal.com]

That would be great -- I'm looking forward to it!

[popelaksmi.livejournal.com]

I forgot I had a dinner date tonight! I am still coming though over though, might be closer to 7:30 though. I'll call!

[popelaksmi.livejournal.com]

Here's another though just for good measure! :p

(Since I can no longer edit my posts.)

When I realize too late that I really need to rewrite something, I start a new comment, copy the text from the old one, edit, post, then delete the original. The person I'm replying to gets two notification messages, but that would happen anyway with an edited post.

Will see what I can do. Not sure when.

[ambiviolent.livejournal.com]

My place for Quiddler or Scrable? Perhaps dinner or lunch, if you don't mind reminding me of your allergies/preferences? This coming Monday?

[duncanmac.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Given that I have a sprained left hand and sore knee (I fell about 2 weeks ago), I may not be available for the next few weeks. But I wouldn't mind dropping by for a board game or two once I'm in better shape. [Depending on which board games are available, I may be able to get donnav to come too.]

I'm sorry to hear about your accident and injuries. In a few weeks would still be nice.
