Yesterday my mom showed me this email my dad received on Monday. The email was from my friend Shanta. She sent the message to my dad's email instead of mine. It was a big surprise to me because I haven't talked to her for about six years. She said she misses me and hopes I'm well, and to give her my number so we can catch up on everything that's happened. I emailed her back my number and I'm expecting her call. So far no call yet, but I'm quite nervous and anticipating it. After all I haven't talked to her in so long. I'm happy she's still been thinking of me after all these years. That's a true friend right there. Just still trying to shake off my nerves about talking to her. Plus you know how I am about phones.
But you see 2010 really is the year of reuniting with people from my past. It's so crazy.
BTW, my watch broke the other day. The plastic band broke into two pieces. Now, when I have a watch that breaks like that, I have to get another one immediately. It's because I literally start feeling very unsettled by not wearing a watch and not knowing what time it is. I feel naked without a watch. Plus I like to fiddle with it, stim with it and whatnot. Not being able to do that is like aaah! I'm pretty obsessed with time. I'm pretty sure it's an Aspie thing. I also get pretty upset if I'm late. When I was younger, I'd get upset if my mom was running late driving me to school. It also upsets me when other people are late too. I think the reason I need a watch though and have to know what time it is, is because I don't think I have a very good awareness of the time in general. It's comforting when I can know the time. Long story short, now I have a new watch and I'm happy. :)
