catching up with an old friend
(reposted from MySpace)
Met up for dinner last night with one of the coolest girls I have ever known and had the misfortune of falling out of touch with a few years ago. SHe managed to track me down through MySpace (yes, at times I am a livejournal traitor). I was a little nervous and anxious driving up to T-town.... was I going to seem totally old with my boring stories of work and house and work and house and wedding and house? It was more nerve-racking than some dates I’ve been on to be honest. I just remembered Rena as being so damn exciting and fun and I was dreading being the lame-ass that… well… that I am! But then I also remembered being a total asshole to her so many times in college. I’m not even sure why, but I know I treated her like shit a lot of the time despite how much I considered her to be one of the coolest girls I had ever known and someone I felt I wanted to be more like. I don’t even know that I ever really said sorry for that…. But I was and I am and I am glad she was past it enough to want to meet up.
Anyhow, dinner was amazing - she picked the perfect place to eat (Big Fish in Trenton… yummy) and I managed to get there a little early and have myself a chocolate martini to take away some of those nerves. She hadn’t changed one bit - still a really amazing person! We didn’t much look to the past, mostly just a lot of “where are you now” stuff and girl talk. I haven’t had a three hour dinner filled with conversation like that in a long time and it really made me sad for all the time I missed out on with her. But, I am looking forward to getting together again soon - maybe next time with our other cluster-mate Jenn….
