I didn't realise...

I didn't realise how much he hated me. My mother was right.

To all of those in Selly, despite Rich thinking that me moving to Kings Heath is going to socially castrate me, I don't believe that. For a second. I have a little more faith in both myself and others than that.

I do care about you guys. I'm not abandoning you. I'd never have come down here if I hadn't felt welcome and loved here. The post that was never completed yesterday was very simple. I'm moving house, not cities.

Wanting to be involved was simply that. That hasn't and won't stop. I truly don't think it's going to make a difference living out there. As said previously, it simply means I'll have to make more effort to get places!

On an even more personal and serious note, if you think I don't care, if you can truly believe that I didn't, I don't know what it was all about. I did give a rather bit shit about our friendship.

NB - this is an extension and in addition to this post which a very select few can see.

Quick question, forget everyone else, are you happy moving there? That surely has to be the main priority and if you're happy with it and prepared to make the effort to see those further afield (who will reciprocate) then it's been the right decision.

Good luck with it.

Yes, I am! Very happy about being there. Thank you!

How did the interview go? :)

[baloobas.livejournal.com]

We know you care, and hell - King Heath it's hardly a great distance is it? We'll all come visit you and you can come vist us, it's what a bus ride/ train ride away, not the other side of the world and we know that :) *hugs* take care we're all still friends with you, and we know you care.

As we have FAR more room, it'll be easier to invite people over. We struggle with that here - our house isn't a particularly social one atm partly due to space restrictions. It's either a tiny bedroom or take over the lounge.

BUT we'll have a dining room and a living room and my room is HUGE. So all in all, good. In fact, great.

And thank you. It means a lot to me. Truly.

honey! we all know you still give a shite!
and anyway; living out on the sticks and still having a social life with the uni crowd isnt that difficult; if only people understood this... I mean i managed to do it for 3 years, and i'm a lazy fucker! ;)

[bethanthepurple.livejournal.com]

What Owen said.
Also, HOUSE PARTY ROUND YOURS! (sooo many bathrooms :D)
Also++ pretend you're a dirty lazy student & sleep on our floors.
We know you wouldn't dare try to escape us. We'd only come hunt ya down & put you in a box in Selly Oak.... or somefink like that.
Smile!

Pah, Kings Heath isn't far. People who aren't prepared to leave Selly Oak when their friends move out there, you have to question the conviction of their friendship anyway...

[nondisbeliever.livejournal.com]

I didn't know this had anything to do with you, to be honest.

The attitude I'm talking about happens a LOT, and it really bugs the hell out of me. If you attribute what I'm talking about to you, whether it was intended or not, then I don't know what to say to you.

[nondisbeliever.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Nonetheless, my comment about people unwilling to leave the confines of Selly Oak stands.

And besides, "those unwilling to leave Selly Oak" implies the sort of people who will act in support of your belief. Those kinds of people aren't in the majority, I feel, and can be done without regardless.

again note emma, QED.

Its not my point of view btw. Just the one that has been arbitrarily decided above

It's all somewhat simplified here, there's a long version. Rich can expand quite amply on his own lj if he choses to, but I doubt it.

There is a post specifically to me (and open only to me I think) which explains his stance on this and is far more relevant. He has chosen (to my knowledge) to leave it closed.

[sapphrine.livejournal.com]

chosen to keep it private because it was.... a private argument, not one to be played out on lj.

[petal1983.livejournal.com]

we know u care hun, and likewise. tbh i dont even know if i'll be in bham next year, and i doubt it will affect my friendships that much. love u loads hun, x

An attempt at spreading a little happiness...

[elric666.livejournal.com]

I reckon moving to KH with the crowd you are moving with is gonna be cool (i am more than a little jeleous). If you were moving there on you own you might feel a little isolated, but all it takes is a watch and a bus timetable to get to town on time :)

On another theme, i hope you are going to the Rose tonight (or Eddies on Sat) as i have a little suprise that i hope will put a smile on your face ;)

I'm still wearing it. :D

Selfish note

[huggirl.livejournal.com]

Considering Kings Heath is pretty much my second home atm
I think it's fantastic you're moving there as I will get
to see you much more often which can only be a good thing!

selfish note as not living in brum makes it harder just
to pop in and see peeps, when people all live closer makes
my life a hell of lot easier ;o)

Seconded PARTY!!!! Think St Clabberts may have some competition ;op

[morticutor.livejournal.com]

Didn't I walk past that place on the way back to Selly oak?

And I'm sure things will go OK. I'll bring absinthe, make usre they do... :-)

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

King's Heath is right near me! And I manage to maintain a great social life!

King's Heath is hardly out in the sticks, it's 20 mins from town roughly. I used to live out in the sticks, taxi's don't go there!

If ppl aren't prepared to go and visit your new house-y, then they really don't care that much about you, and it's better to find out now, than when you really need them!

If you need me, drop me a line babe - ok?

[ebb.livejournal.com]

Thanks darling!!

QED

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

Happy moving!

[velvety-doll.livejournal.com]

I agree with you totally. The whole worrying about moving less than 2 miles away is a complete farce. If I have freinds 120 miles away who come see me reguarly, I don't somehow think being whole 5 min bus journey away is going to decrease my visitors- And since the house is large, there is always floor space for those who just can't take the whole 30 min walking distance or short bus ride there and back in one day...after all, all that travelling would be incredibly tiring. *grin*
I have sustained friendships, and had many a friend round to my flat over the last year, which is a good distance from Selly. Social life decine is the last thing to worry about anyway, with all this packing to do and flatmates to shout at...;)
I personally think it could extend all our social circles, adding Kings Heath people to our existing friends- so there!
