Catching Up With Friends Is Awesome
A long time ago…ok like…7 years ago…shit it’s been that long????…I met this girl at a whole bunch of Catholic Youth events. We became really good friends and stayed in touch. Then I sort of fell off the face of the earth and we haven’t talked in forever! Well, I recently remembered my password to my old AIM screen name and I signed on to see what was up.
Amazingly, she was on there and I IM’d her. I didn’t think she would remember me because it’s been so long, but I keep forgetting that I’m just awesome and no one can forget me. Anyway, we briefly chatted and all these memories came back.
For example…the first time we met it was at an event called Young Christians at Work. I went with my friend Meghan, whom I recently got in touch with as well, and we became fast friends. We were in the same group as each other and we would spend a lot of the week staying up all night talking, laughing, and goofing off. I remember this one time, we were in a bathroom with a few other people and we were telling jokes. I told this one joke and it took her for.ev.er to get. And five hours later she starts laughing saying she finally got it.
For the longest time I was obsessed with mullet hunting. I still am. Anyway. I used to make t-shirts that said I’m a mullet hunter and that sort of thing. The Catholic Youth Convention in the Buffalo Diocese was coming up and I decided to make her a t-shirt just like it. We walked around with those for the whole weekend. It was amazing.
So, it’s really awesome to catch up with old friends. I recommend that you do it, because it really feels awesome.

im glad you like running into old friends. Its great sometimes. But for some reason i hate running into people from the past. I like fear it. But as soon as they come up and talk to me or i go up and talk to them its like as easy as cake, and i wonder why i ever could hate running into people from the past. Kudos!
Well, I have mixed feelings about it. I’m a completely different person than I was back then. I know a lot of people change and mature, but literally, I’m a completely different person. I just have a hard time explaining to people from back then what’s changed about me. Not a lot of people are accepting of it, and I’m afraid that all the good memories I’ve had with certain people will be tainted by how they feel about some of the decisions I’ve made.
