So I'm almost ten years out of high school- and let me just tell anyone who's 18 now, the next ten years are going to go by faster than you could ever imagine. And you're going to realize how retarded and lame most of your dramas are..that is if you ever grow up. (some people don't, and those people end up dating your friends)
In high school I had a really tight group of friends--- but in retrospect, my friendships were largely formed by an innate desire to belong to a group of friends- so that I could take lots of stupid group photos and have a table to call my own in the quad.
Sure they were sweet enough but what teenager in high school really knows themselves. My friendships were a product of promixity and convenience...and my need to feel accepted at a very insecure time in my life.
That desire to be in a clique sadly never goes away for most people- it's yet one more paradoxical element of man. We all want to be unique and special but in a way that allows us membership with other kindred unique special spirits. To be different and yet to belong.
Anyway, I met up with two of my high school best friends who also live here in New York. It was great seeing them, and upon meeting at the designated coffee shop, we all were so eager to update each other on our lives. We all spoke quickly, bringing up anecdotes and horror stories from our youth.
At when we were done an hour later, we parted ways, promising each other that we'd at least get dinner in the next month.
Relationships change and it's been hard for me to let that wash over me. It saddens me when someone who used to be so close to me starts to drift away, but that's the nature of friendship.

Warm fuzzy me
how the hell are you, people? does anyone even read this anymore?!
well for those who are, my sweet lemmings,
things that made me happy this past week:
1. Watching episodes of The View on DVR. Either you love or hate Rosie O. She's fat, outspoken, and liberal- but at least she can string together a coherent thought, Ms. Hasselsack.
2. Seeing Sampson play in the dog park.
3. News that Britney's dead. Oh that's wishful thinking.
