I'm visiting my girlfriend for the holidays (up until New Year's Eve) and it's been pretty neat :)
I get lonely while she's at work, but it's ok, because I also have a job (game development) so that's what I usually do. That, or I clean, or make myself some food, or play with Mozzie, her lizard. Speaking of which, today he pooped all over me :( which meant I had my hands full cleaning it up. It's okay, he's forgiven, he's just a little guy so he doesn't know any better :)
My girlfriend and I used to argue about how she wouldn't pay me enough attention, but lately I think she's gotten better at being attentive, and I've gotten better at being more independent. The thing that was the most influential was that I now understand that I don't need to worry about spending every second of our time together wisely (we're long-distance) and that's taken the burden off significantly. Now I can live alongside her, not for her. Or expect her to live for me.
