Missing Persons Found

I've gone MIA, again, but, again, I am justified.
midterms. picking up my third job (wt%fs!#), life.


This is going to be short and sweet. I'm currently on my fifth hour in Panera. Completely milking them for their bottomless coffee. And getting dirty looks for hogging the seat by the electrical outlet. I'm in the middle of writing my third (7 page) paper for the week, so I really could not care less concerning any judgments cast on me here. Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive. And blogging.

Amidst my consumption in writing, researching, and bullshitting, I've allowed myself to facebook stalk, tweet, and now blog - all in order to maintain my mental sanity. In doing so, I unexpectedly caught up with an old friend (oh my gosh I sound like I'm fifty...there's just no other way to say it, I tried.) Anyways. This friend, Paige, we go back to the beginning. We're talking Noah's Ark Preschool. Every graduation I've had, I've shared with this lady. Through the years, even when we were still in school together, we lost touch. Though we've spoken, we've rarely fully "caught up", but I feel we never lost what we shared as friends.
Paige got in touch with me tonight, asking me for my address so she could send me her wedding invitation, and I was reminded something of relationships. There were girls I was much closer to in high school, friends that know so many more details and secrets of my life. Though I have reason to consider countless friends to be much closer to me than I would Paige, I can't necessarily say that I would.
So, as I said, Paige reminded me of something tonight - knowledge I consider so comforting and invaluable.
There are some bonds that time, distance, change...life in general, cannot break. And I am so, so grateful to be able to have that to count on in my life.
