I think friendship is a funny and wonderful thing. I sat back today and just thought about who my friends are, were, used to be, still are, are going to be, have become.. etc.
I was havign a shitty and rushed morning and I grabbed the mail and ran to the shuttle stop. In the mail was a letter from Megan. Just a card to say "Hey" and a Brand New sticker for my car because she knew that I lost my other one. It made my day 1,000 times better. Thanks! I wish I were more thoughtful like that.
The funny part about our friendship is that we initially hated each other. We'd see each other at Kluckers [HA!] shows and what-not, and had a gajillion mutual friends. Eventually, through Sara G, we travelled to Wilkes-Barre together and our friendship has grown tremendously. It's sad to say that we have both lost some touch with Sara.. We'll always be friends though, the three of us, and I know this. But I find that Megan and I are closer than Sara and I or Sara and she.
I had two classes in a row, sat with Tanya and Rob in Indo-European Folk Tales. That's another funny friendship story.
Rob, I knew via facebook, via Mikey Shearer. Like he and I are even good friends, he told me that Rob was transferring to Pitt and we should hang. I said sure, and we facebooked, but I didn't really think we'd be cool. Then one day, while Jeremy and I are playing some intense Humans Vs. Zombies, we attack Rob [via Rocky, who I also met that day through Jeremy]. I'd say our friendship defffinitely grew since then.
I've met the rest of he and Rocky's friends, his girlfriends [now, ex], and even became semi-friends with his brother. I am a million times closer to Rob than I ever was with Mikey Shearer. Rob is such a good guy.
After my second class I had lunch with Brian.
MORE funny friendship stories.. BECAUSE.. he was a Sutherland kid last year.. just like Tanya, who was previously mentioned. Apparently they had their own Sutherland Ashtray going, but day by day, Tanya appeared there less and less. Reason being: we had recruited her for the Tower Ashtray. I never knew Brian last year, but he told me that he'd see me in the A-tray and he felt like he wanted to be friends with me. You know how sometimes you'll see someone at a show or walking down the street, or even in the grocery store, and they just look cool to you. You want to be their friend. Well, a year later, Brian and I are friends. Not only are he and I friends, but Ive also been integrated into his little Sutherland clique. This time last year, I would never imagine I'd be going to parties at Adele's house, or hugging Anna every time I see her.
I love friendship! As gay as that sounds, it's amazing how people come into your life.
It's also amazing how people exit your life. It's not always wanted, but it happens.
And it's amazing that after so long of not seeing someone, you can still hang out like you've never left each other.
Christmas break was a little scary for me because I hadn't seen Chel, Laur, Sara or Ang since over Thanksgiving. In fact, I hadn't seen Ang since August 2006, I think?! [She lived in NC over the past summer]. The first week of break I did see a lot of Whitney, Riss, Sara, and Lippay, but still none of the others. It was getting closer to go back to school [I went back 2 weeks before the rest, sans Riss because shes an RA], but then we finally all hung out. And it was like nothing changed. It was like we were back in high school, hanging out in Chel;s basement, except this time we were drinking. I love it.
As much as I love my friends from home still, so much, Ive noticed that my 'college' friends have just turned into my friends. They're my best friends. My "home" friends are my bests too. They're integrated, whether they know it or not. some of them know it. For example, Nicole and Kid and Megan and Jermy all have met my Pitt friends when they visited.. and Aleigha met some of my home friends when she came to Shamokin with me.
That leads me to another funny friendship story. Nicole Kramer, I've writted about our friendship in some sort of online journal before, be it LJ or xanga, but seriously.. it amazes me that you're one of my best friends now. Its hard, because people like Chel, Riss, and Megan all still have the same opinion of her that I did back when we were Seniors in highschool. They havent interacted with her since then, so they don;t see how she has changed. I saw her almost everyday last summer at work, and then she and I and Lippay would hang out all the time too. She visited me at Pitt this year, and over break I'd say I hung out with her almost the most out of everyone. Strange how time changes people and how people change with time.
