Thing of the Past
I’ve been feeling really nostalgic lately. I go through these phases. As I lack a best, best friend in real life, I often think about my “old” best friends.
A few weeks back, I tried getting in touch with Jessica again. Called every number I found, and got nothing. I even called her grandma’s house and she told me she remembers me (her grandmother) and that she didn’t speak to her or her mom anymore.
Starting last week, after enrolling in school I started thinking about Sally and Veronica. Sally went to the school I’m going to, so that sparked the memories. One of the times I was driving to school I saw Veronica’s mom walking home.
Today, at around 3pm I decided I was going to do it. I was going to call Sally and see how she’s doing. I called. Her mom sounded so happy to hear from me. We chatted; she asked me about the kids and about Mario. She got my number and told me she’d tell Sally to call me back when she got home from school. She still hasn’t called.
Sure, she could be busy. But I know better and I know she could probably care less that I called. It hurts, I admit. I won’t even bother calling Vero. I don’t know how she feels about me. She seemed cold and awkward when I went to visit her after she had her baby back in 2001 (or was it 2002?). I really wish I knew how they were all doing. I don’t know why I bother 
.
Wow, this was depressing.
Oh, and the hurricane finally brought us a jizzle of rain. I was out there sanding some of those Yu-gi-oh statues and it felt so nice. It’s all cloudy, overcast, BREEZY with light, rolling thunder. I love this weather

Didn’t realize it was so late. Gonna start dinner before the electricity goes out!

:(I feel for you.. when I got married and moved to the states it was a really totally different scenario for me. no friends to stand by you no mattter what. sure I have friends now, but they are all my co workers and besides they are all married too and I guess that’s just the way it is. my bestfriend married just last year but inspite of being mariied and being a mom, too I’m really happy we’re in touch coz practically every friend of ours just don’t communicate anymore! but still I have no bestfriend near me. sigh, it’s true things change, frinds come and go… that’s why I turned to my online firnds coz you all make happy…

People change as time moves on, and it’s really hard to tell if you can be part of the continuation. It’s nice to hear your trying to get in touch with old friends. I hate the feleing of losing a really close friend. Hope things work out! if not, you should feel proud for making the effort of trying.

Aww.. If they dont wanna call or see you then its their loss, cos they are obviously missing out on a caring sweet friend if you have the decentsy to bother to try get back in touch x

That’s so weird because I’ve been really thinking about my old high school friends lately and wanting to get back in touch too. I think it’s because this would be our 5 year reunion year (but we’re not having one). Hopefully you’ll have more luck at contacting yours; I hope so!
I went and looked at that credit report too. I have no negatives, and I have 6 good standing accounts – loans and credit cards. School is too expensive and everything just keeps racking up. *sigh* If I were you, I’d go ahead and try to apply for a credit card at least. The longer you have a credit card (in good standing), the longer you have to establish good/better credit.
Hope ya’ll get some rain, but it’s not too stormy. Take care!

Life is constantly changing…and with that, we lose and gain friends and loved ones. The past is a place of comfort that we all have to reflect upon. Don’t stress over what you once had, look forward to enjoying what you have now.
