goodbye stranger - 2000-02-16
Y2K: *Sigh* Don't you know that I am -sick- of you??? Andrew: Who's messaging who here? Do you see me trying to talk to you? Y2K: Frick you. But, seriously, did you tell Jen about what we have newly proposed for the long weekend? Andrew: In our brief conversation I basically summarized your ideas and told her I would fill in the details tomorrow. She was slightly apprehensive about said details, but I told her not to worry. Thanks again for coming tonight. I had fun - and feel a lot better. Y2K: Good, good. Apprehensiceverer? Andrew: ? If you are asking whether her apprehension was severe, it wasn't. Though, I'm not really sure what you're trying to ask. Sorry. She was mostly concerned about me and Derek. I explained, sorta, that things would be fine. She wasn't convinced, so I'll just have to prove it to her. Y2K: Don't bother, it's much more fun this way. I would think Jen would be more concerned about me and you. Andrew: She knows that I know how to deal with you........(long pause for Kam to be offended in some way).....just kidding. I can't imagine why she would worry about us. She knows that we have been "discussing" things lately. That's about all she knows right now, mind you. But she's not worried, I don't think. Y2K: Oh well. That kind of sucks, she's much cuter when she's worried. (...) ---- I've come to grips with, finally, the fact that there are just some people I grew up with that I am destined to never see again... Except at the odd party, or maybe in the food court in a mall, but those places are just all awkward. The question is, however, do I care as much as I always thought I would? Do I just laugh, smile and make jokes as these close friends slip away? There are a few I haven't talked to since sharing a sweaty drunken hug after graduation. I suppose that one of the hardest things about taking a year off from life, is that you lose a lot of people who are going on, while not gaining many others in return. Like cutting down trees, without planting seeds... But I like the clarity... As much as that is a crime against nature, I like the clarity. I can see the stars better at night :-) And I can use smileys without apprehension :-) So, people who I thought I'd know forever... Just as long as I never forget the times we shared... It's okay if they go away. Out with the old... ummm, how does that one go, again? ---- "Magnolia" not being nominated for best picture, and P.T. Anderson not being nominated for best director in the Academy Awards is a crime against art. Indeed. But I'm not going to waste time telling you why...
