I knew they were from somewhere. But it was really Mary who sent me off on my trip.
Yes, back in the days when we emailed. :) I don't remember including all the details. Surely there has to be something new in there?
Laura is my wife's older sister. She doesn't like me much, I don't think. H has three sisters and three brothers. My in-laws are prolific, what can I say.
I remember sending you an email on it, but I remember telling you mainly about Nancy. I can't seem to recall telling the rest of the story. Did we discuss further on ICQ, maybe?
You are deeply linked in my mind with skating because everything significant in your life seems to stem from it.
I find that strange myself. Funny thing is, I've skated three times in the last fifteen years. Maybe that's why I've been feeling stagnated? Hee hee.
I think the bulk of it came as background to the Nancy story. Because "I asked a girl called Nancy to skate" is pretty rubbish as a story.
Go skating!
I was telling Mark about you the other day - a pre-LJ internet friend. He thinks that makes me nerdier than him, but I think it doesn't, it just proves I'm more sociable than him.
Well, yes. That, and there were other Nancy stories to which this one is somewhat connected.
That makes me a nerdmaker. Or something.
I think our friendship is pretty damn special. Is to me anyway. I make no distinction between you and any of my real-life friends, except maybe you top most of them.
Exactly. This one was really background to another nancy story.
Well, a partial one. You're not my only pre-LJ, internet only LJ friend.
Me too. I think it's really cool that we get along so well, despite having few cosmetic things in common (you're married with kids, I'm not, and in fact I was still in school when we "met"...). I think of you in real-life friend terms, too.
I sometimes marvel at the influence you have had on me. I see something and think, "I wonder what Liz would say about that?" I don't think a day has gone by since we "met" that I haven't thought of you in some way. I mention you to other people as if they should know you, and I'm sure they think me weird after having explained you.
Yes! Zactly. But instead of having to explain Idlewild, I have to explain Liz.
I've always enjoyed the silly conversations we've had, in fact I look forward to them. But our friendship is much more than that. You've always lent a shoulder to cry on when there was no one else. You've helped me straighten things out when I needed another voice. And at times, it is as simple as a Liz post brightening my day and putting a much needed smile on my face. I guess in that way, it feels sometimes like our friendship is one-sided, that I call upon you far more than the other way round.
Ah, but I've called on you many times, just not recently. And you tell stories like the Nancy stories that make me happy and sad and stuff.
There are things that you know about me that no-one else does. I'm not going to say what, because that would be dumb here, but I'm sure you can think of a couple.
It isn't one-sided. Definitely not. You're just the one in need more recently.
I enjoy both our serious talks and our silly ramblings, too.
Well, it seems like I'm the one always doing the crying. I guess maybe I fear not being up to the friend you are to me, because it's what I aspire to be.
Uhhm, yes. I wouldn't be the only one then, would I? :) I'm not sure what you haven't told others, but yes, I can think of a few things I feel honored that you'd entrust me with.
Miranda goes on a date and is telling the girls about it, but there's a boy there. Maybe berger? And M asks what he thinks, and he says "honestly?" and she says yes, and he says "he's just not that into you" and all the others are aghast but M is actually pleased and liberated by it. She overhears a girl talking about a gu outside a few days later and says "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear, but I thought you should know - he;s just not that into you" and the girl calls her a bitch.
The boy (let's assume it was Berger) explains that if the man had a meeting in the morning, or any number of other excuses, he;d get over them if he really were into her.
I've heard (read) that story before, but I still like it. However, Laura is new to me. Laura? What?

You didn't tell me about the developing crush on the previous girly, nor about the air hokey. Or, like I said, about Laura.
But the skating thing was all there. You are deeply linked in my mind with skating because everything significant in your life seems to stem from it.

So you just say, like "Oh, yeah, this is Idlewild - Liz introduced me to them"?
