Kendra came into town last Friday. Sadly she had to go upnorth for four days but when she was in Troy we hung out so much. We drove around a lot and went down to Detroit to take a picture of Tom's old house for him, his street sign, and the liquor store he use to go to. We had a lot of fun together. I miss just hanging out with her every day, going out to eat, sitting around and talking and smoking. I miss her in my every day life.
I'm really happy for her that she has found the one person she wants to be with. I'm happy that she likes it in North Carolina, I'm happy that she's married. However, I wish she still lived here in Michigan. I blame it all on Tom. He had to go and join the Army and take my Kendra away from me. I'm kidding of course. I'm not being serious about blaming in on Tom and being pissed off about it. Okay, I sort of am but not in a mean way. I just wish they were still here. I loved hanging out with them both and I loved being able to see Kendra whenever I wanted to.
Her and I were talking yesterday and a little today about this. We both agreed that we miss how things use to be. When it was Kendra, Megan, Kristine, Derik, Dan, Alex, and I all hanging out together. There was always something to do always someone to see and be with. Things have changed so quickly. Our huge amazing group just split up. Drama started setting in like never before, friends were fighting, boyfriends became more serious and more important for all of the girls. But we still found time to hang out.
Going up to Papa's when Alex, Dan, and Tokie still worked there. Well, Tokie still does but that's besides the point. Even if friends were working we would go to where ever they worked and we would hang out with them. We would go up to T-Birds to see Megan and Kristine. We would go up to Papa's, go to Anderson Music sometimes, just to hang out and talk. We didn't have a lot to worry about. We partied together, drank together, smoked weed together, smoked pot for the first time together (that only applies to Megan, Kristine and I). We had so much fun together.
I never fully believed my dad when he told me I'm going to lose most of my friends after high school because we would all go our separate way and lead separate lives. He also told me I would be lucky if I keep one of those friends as a very close friend for five years after high school. I think Kendra will be the friend who lasts a life time with me. We barely talked while she was in North Caroline (only because I'm terribly at calling people) but when she came back, it was like she never left.
Kendra really wants Michael and I to move down there with her. I would love to but it's so expensive to get things moved down there and we have to be sure that's what we want to do. Actually, I know for sure I want to do that, however, Michael also need to make sure he wants to do that as well. He could ride his bike all year long though which is a bonus. He says he would move down there but it's expensive and he has to be able to go school down there for photography and have a place he can work at that's not taking senior pictures or doing weddings. That's not what he wants to do which is understandable.
We'll figure it all out soon enough.
I strayed off topic. Back to how things changed. It doesn't seem like it was a slow changing process. Everything changed so quickly and I never saw it coming. I wish everyone was still here and still friends. I wish nothing ever changed between all of us, we were all here and hanging out like we use to.
Sadly, that's never going to happen again.
