Frigging yea for shore leave!!

I mean seriously. Finally get some time off expecting to spend it with my fiancé.

But, Noooo! Star Fleet, in its infinite wisdom, which I find severely lacking at the moment, has taken this time to transfer her to parts unknown. She barely had time to write a message before she was spirited off and put on a transport to go meet some ship. She couldn’t even say where she was going, only that they told her she would not be able to communicate with anyone back home for at least 5 years.

Joy decided that I should not wait for her. Who is she to get to decide?? And I can’t even argue with her about it since she is already gone.

So, what did I do?? I went back home to Ireland, well not exactly home, Dublin was close enough. And went to one of my old favorite places. Shenanigan’s still serves a good pint of ale. I forget how many I had, but it didn’t do any good. All I can think of is Joy, and now she’s gone.

I just wish she hadn’t left the ring behind. If she had taken it, there would still be some hope that she will wait for me, or rather that I would wait for her. But I found it on the desk with her farewell note.

I feel like a part of me has been ripped out.

Love f**ing Sux!
