In fact I was probably only in Charlotte for less than two days. I went to a wedding rehearsal / dinner and a wedding / reception. All in all my friends who got married couldn't spend a whole lot of time with every single guest, but that is not the point. Just the atmosphere of having those around you that you care about is invigorating.
Although not liking where I live probably contributes to my dilemma of liking that I was away. We'll test this hypothesis when I go back to NC for another wedding at the end of this month. I'm sure I'll love this one as well, but I'll be doing some other things as I am actually part of the wedding, which means I'll have to pay some expenses. But I would gladly do so for any of my friends. Plus I might actually stick around for a couple days afterward and see some friends. I don't know yet. Gotta make some plans. Having a lease that ends soon and not knowing where I'm going doesn't help things either, but I'm going to try and enjoy the next couple months.
I'll probably post again after I get back from NC again, so maybe in a month unless something spectacular happens.
