Eric?

Hypothetically speaking, how bad would it be if I went to visit Eric for a few days? It wouldn't be just to visit him, but to get to spend a few days chilling in Asheville and checking out the town and the job market. Its probably too small for me; if I ever moved down that way, I'd most likely end up in Charlotte (love, love, love that city!!). Its kind of weird because we've been a little flirty with each other lately, falling right back into that old pattern with each other. I don't want anything from him, and I'm sure as hell never going to have sex with him, but I could really use a hug right now. I was telling a friend the other day that I really wanted an Eric hug right about then, and I still feel the same way. I was actually online earlier, checking how long it would take to get down there and looking at hotels in the area. Then I made the mistake of "casually" mentioning the idea to my mom, who naturally flipped out at even the posibility. Would it be so bad if I just got in the car while she was at work and left her a note? :-) OK, so I won't be doing that, but I am giving this a lot of thought.
