my firefox just froze and i lost everything i'd written in my whole entry. i'm all pissed off about it, because i can't remember how i worded everything and it was such an easy entry, i was done in like 10 minutes. argh! in order to get sweet revenge on firefox i'll persevere.
beckie has arrived back from the artic and i just spend a lovely evening with her and melissa. i can't express how nice it was to be with them, it did my heart good. i've missed beckie a lot, but its funny... i was telling dave ferrence this afternoon that she was arriving home, and that it would feel like she never left. its true too, we talk every day on msn, we email most days, and of course we read each others blogs. so we're pretty up-to-speed on each others lives.
some people shave off their beards and sit around in coffee shops.
i bumped into tim at the grocery store. it struck me as unusual how we could just pick up our conversation as naturally as if we were in my mom's living room. he was scowering the aisles in search of cornstarch. when i lived on pine street, we had FOUR boxes of cornstarch, so the concept of buying constarch is very foreign to me. seriously, the day i need to buy another box of cornstarch is the day i... buy box of cornstarch. hm, i sure wish i'd been able to come up with a clever or witty way of finishing that sentence. anyway, i helped him locate it then we went on our merry ways. once i picked up my items i was surprised to see he was still in the store, waiting in line at the other end of the row of tills. after i paid and was heading to the door, i noticed he was STILL there. so in typical youngest sister form i called out to him "hey tim! i'm done before you!" then left laughing at him. hahaha.
when i was in highschool, my friend mandy and i had a number of games to keep us entertained. "backwards day" "perpendicular line day" "the eye-contact game". the eye-contact game involved us seeing how many times in one day we could get eye-contact with the guy we liked (to clarify not the same guy, we both liked a different guy). this was challenging and bold. it was actually quite difficult. i think we underestimate the significance of eye-contact. think about it. at least i do. its a power thing.
but you know i'm not such a bad seed.

If you ever make eye contact with me again I'm going to assume it's because you have a major crush on me.
Awkward,

he shaved off his beard last year at exactly this time too. must be a seasonal thing.
I've had the same best friend since Grade 5. While we lived in the same city for 8 years, we've been apart for 16! But it's the same thing, when we meet up it's like no time has passed at all. We email a bit, but don't keep in touch well, so that isn't it. It's just when you have a connection that is really deep, it doesn't go away over time. Like it sounds like you have with your friends :)
dahlink, i am so happy to be here!!!
sorry i didn't get to read and comment last night, but melissa's internet dumped me. :D
