♪I get by with a little help from my friends♪
I had a rare evening off tonight. It was nice :) I could relax, and chat to people. Actually, I also was able to do this on Monday night, as I was home by 8pm Calgary time (which is 10pm at home) That seems to be my biggest problem here - I work a lot of evenings, and so a lot of people are in bed by the time I'm online, so I don't get to talk to people. And I seem to be horrible with keeping up with emails - I have at least 12 in my inbox to reply to! B/c people also want stories - I need to start keeping up my public blog, and giving everyone the address, so that I don't have to copy & paste the same thing all the time!
However, both nights resulted in me having some fantastic conversations. The best being with my friend Sam - one of my oldest friends, since grade 1. There are very few people that I feel I can talk to about EVERYTHING, but Sam is one of those people. Her, and Ashlee - who is my oldest friend, since we were 3. Both of whom are not ones that I hang out with the most - in fact, Ashlee & I don't talk that often at all. But both of whom I know I can go to for anything, or to talk about anything, or to ask anything. It's awesome having friends like that!
I know it's a long way off, but I know I was having trouble deciding about my wedding party at one point - my sister will definitely be my maid of honour, but I was unsure if I would have any others, or who I would have. But I think that if I do, I'd definitely have to ask Ashlee & Sam.
I'm actually feeling very nostalgic today. Thinking about people. Thinking about people from elementary school, from high school, even from university. It was 10 years ago that I was 13 and in grade 8. I was friends with Courtney, and Michelle, and Crystal - none of whom I've talked to in at least 8 years. I've thought a lot about another friend, Ashley, who was my best friend in elementary school from grades 1-6. No clue where she is. So many others from elementary school that I have no idea whatever happened to them. Also, there are many from high school that I used to be really good friends with, but not anymore. Similarly, even some from university that I don't talk to, and I was friends with sometime in the past 4 years.
It's weird though - I've definitely kept in touch with more people than either my brother or sister did when they finished high school, thanks to the internet, email & chat programs. However, I am still saddened by some of the people that I have lost touched with - I wish I still talked to some. I wonder what happened to a lot of them.
It saddens me too. I graduate in April, which means that I will likely lose touch with a lot of friends from university. I know I will keep in touch with some, and those will be ones that are lifelong friends, but I won't keep in touch with others.
I hate it. I hate that I can't keep in touch with everyone, but I know it's important. Friends are one of the most important things to me - without them, I don't know, but I love'em to death :)
