Sometimes I think...

Sometimes I'm convinced that MySpace is the best site on the internet. It just allowed me to reconnect with someone I haven't spoken to since I was about a junior in high school! And now, he's in the Army over in Baghdad! It was so exciting to hear from him yesterday. We spent a ton of time e-mailing back and forth, just getting caught up with each other. It's hard to sum up 7 years in an e-mail, but we've managed to do alright :-)
I love it when stuff like that happens. It's weird, the timing of it too, because I was just somewhere where I had thought of him, and it was recent too! So that was just funny. But I love getting to reconnect with old friends and seeing or hearing from people I haven't heard from in a long time. I think I realized to late that I had the best group of friends in high school. We were all, for the most part, pretty good kids. We were fun, and funny, and there was always someone to go to if there was a problem or if you needed help or anything like that. I miss those days!
Okay, I'm feeling a little nostalgic, I guess. Maybe it's the time of year - we're starting to get into the graduation times. I should know this is going to happen to me, it does every single year! But it's nice being able to find these people again, and at least be able to e-mail with them, if nothing more.
It's strange how your relationships with people evolve over time. The older you get, the more focused on one person you become. Like, if you asked me now, who my best friend is, I would say John. But if you asked me 7 years ago I would have said Jo, and Soni, and Sarah and... and... and.... It's all part of normal development (believe me, I know, I sit through hours of training on it), but it's just a strange phenomenon. Sometimes I wish that I could maintain the same types of friendships I had in high school today. Or even in college! I had great friends in college as well, and even a lot of them I've lost touch with. Sad, isn't it?
So I guess that's really about all I have to write about. I have stuff I need to get done before heading out to my training today, so I'm going to work on showering and getting dressed and such. So, people, track me down, say hi, all that good stuff!
