Tomorrow is B's redeployment ceremony. I am pretty much not going. Why? Because I don't have anything resembling a friend here. I'd thought about going alone, but I got an email from the FRG about what that would entail and, um, no. I'd have to park somewhere with some name I don't know that is supposedly near the Commissary and then get on a bus - alone - and ride to the ceremony site - alone - and then watch this ceremony that would probably be really neat to see, but I'd be ALONE. B thinks it's all stupid and overdone and swears he doesn't care if I go or not which makes me feel a smidge better. I'm disappointed tho.
I don't make friends that easily. I tend to be shy anyway and being in an unfamiliar place just exacerbates that. I don't really need friends, but it would be nice. If I had a friend then I could go to the ceremony tomorrow. If I had a friend then maybe I'd work out more cause she'd go with me. If I had a friend maybe I wouldn't drive B crazy by being around all the time with nowhere to go and nothing to do. I know I haven't been anything close to proactive about making friends, but I don't really know where to begin.
I'm just bummed.

Well that sucks. But I do know how you feel. We are at a small base where its hard to get in with the "in" crowd. We dont live in housing and I have small kids so its not as easy for me to go off to the club for ladies night out at 8 at night (frankly the jammies are on at 7 around here!).
Just hang in there and in time things will fall into place.
I know exactly how you feel. I didn't really have a friend at Polk until Sara aka When in Rome on Blogger moved there. Unfortunatley she didn't move there until about a month before we moved.
It's tough there, I'm not going to lie and say it's easy to make friends at that post, however I do hope you find someone in the future.
I don't make friends easily either. I really have to make myself get out and meet people so I can do the things I want to do. I hope it gets easier for you.
Lame. If I were there, I would go to that ceremony with you. No questions asked. Love you, Pokey. Chin up.
