I'm helping my husband with his final paper for a Master's class, drinking coffee, and listening to Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I'd never heard the song before I played RockBand for 360. Memo on drums, and me on the Bass.
I'm reading posts by friends, recent and older, and my perception of life and lessons learned are changing, perhaps mutating. I was the good girl, regardless of what my friends' parents thought and said about me. I was, and am. My "goody two shoes" friends are more risqué [how do you add those freakin' accents on a mac laptop?!?] and my wild friends are "settling down". I believe that I remain a constant, which would make me a great stabilizer friend in someone's life. I try my best to do what's right. My biggest character "flaws", if you will, are sarcasm and "opinionation" [You like that? That's my word, because I just wrote it]. Those get me in trouble the most with friends.
I miss my friends, old and new, but they've changed and our relationships wouldn't compare to what they were. The moment is gone, the clock has run out, the last free throw has been shot, the last dig dug, the last run ran. I wish you all well, and I'll always wonder what happened to "us". For those that left without explanations, I'll forever remain confused. It's just how it will be for me. Human nature and tendencies cause us to wonder "what we did wrong". Maturity and growth help us understand that "it's not us, it's them", and life is a cliché. [P.S. to my friend who knows what "do you want to F.K.?" means, none of this is about you! We are friends.]...[and now, the song of choice is "In My Life" by the Beatles]
Perhaps I've added mixer to my coffee. [y los que me conocen saben que no es cierto].
