Awaiting Arrival...

Okay blogmates, here's the scoop. So, about three months ago, I was sitting at the bottom of my basement steps when my mom came by and point blank with little to no expression or emotion says: "You're depressed."

Wow.

What can I say? It is that apparent. Now that the collegiate year is completed for the most part (the exception being Erin) the people I hung around with in highschool are coming in through the perverbial flood gates. I've been hanging out regularly with pretty much the only guy I made any decent relationship with and today, after going to lunch with him (Dave), I decided to give Nicole a call and see if she was in so that maybe I could drop by on a whim. She was and I did. So not my style. Anyway, I saw her for the first time since like February not to mention her little sister who I think is hilarious. We just sat and talked while she got dressed and did her hair. She straddling the entrance of her room between it and the living room where I sat comfortably on the couch. Memories of summers past and a very unique spring break came rushing in and I'd be lying if I said I didn't occasionally feel the urge to play with her hair and tickle her or poke her with my toes. I was there only about half an hour (I had work and she had to pick up her youngest sister), but it was sincerely good to see her house again, despite the awkwardness at times considering we have not hung out regularly since the summer after junior year. Nicole is not the same person she was, nor am I the same person to her most likely, but throughout high school she was the most dependable friend I had. We had our problems, but we always managed to stay best friends. When she started dating her current boyfriend during our senior year, we began to drift apart. Nonetheless, something was opened today. It may not have been a door, but it was at the very least a window... And I look forward to regaining part of that friendship this summer.

Tomorrow

I'm going to lunch with Angie and Lynn, who are the two friends that, for the most part, were the only ones to keep in touch with me this past year. Was it because of my troubles with Erin (my first connection with the two of them)? I hope not, but nonetheless, they kept in touch, and I can feel a summer with them at the center of it all coming up...
