| 20 April 2002 2:50 pm Saturday I am kinda disappointed that I slept through this. Especially since it happened close to me, probably only a few hours away. Laura actually felt it while she was still at home, and I'm jealous! It woke Angela up, too, which makes sense because she's close to the epicenter of it. I mean, the thought of earthquakes generally scares me and it's one of those bigger factors why I wouldn't want to live on the west coast, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to know what it's like. In general, I don't like saying that I don't like something unless I've experienced it first. The song that makes me smile today: War's Low Rider. It's just plain cool. I need to put that on a "cruisin'" CD sometime. Yeah so this gorgeous 96 degree weather is gone. It's now rainy and quite chilly, a full 40 degrees colder than a few days ago. At least we got to hit up a party last night before it got too cold to walk outside in flip flops. I felt slightly out of place (in other words: old!) at that party because I only recognized, like, 5 people. I'm pretty sure that everyone there was a freshman or sophomore (the people I recognized were either or). All that makes me wonder is: where are my seniors? Probably at the bars? Onto something ENTIRELY different... It's amazing how much of a person's life you miss when you don't talk to him for over a year. Bryan was one of my more favorite people on the planet, but we lost touch last January. So after a long long time I decided that I wasn't going to let him go, so I called up his mom to get his address and such. She is such a sweet person, and we chatted for nearly half an hour just catching up on stuff. I'm so glad I did because I found out Bryan (and his whole family, too) is doing incredibly well, and I'm only sad that I've missed it! But on the plus side, I have his contact information and I'm going try to get in touch with him and restart our friendship. There are actually quite a few people that I've lost touch with that I wish I didn't. There are a few from high school, and a couple from other places. I suppose there's always a reason behind losing touch with people. Conflicting schedules, changing personalities that just don't mesh anymore, lack of trying to stay in touch. You know, that kind of thing. I always wonder if their thoughts ever stray over towards me, and if they wonder how I'm doing. I like to think they do, even if it's once in 3 years. The idea that people have completely forgotten about me doesn't sit well with me if I spent so much time with them when we were still friends. Case in point: I've spent 4 years living with and seeing certain people every single day during college. We're polite, say hello, have nice chats and such. And I'm supposed to believe that once we graduate and I never see them again I will completely disappear from memory? That's sad. But I guess that's just how it goes, and they'll be added to my "I wonder how they're doing" list. Anyways, back to making my list of who to send graduation announcements to. I'm 28 days away. |
