Wow, I've been gone a while, huh. Well, the current excuse is that I am home, and we have a modem (ewwwwwww). And my laptop has been in the shop, so there is excuse number 2. The real excuse is that I am lazy, and I don't like to share all that much. Which is kinda funny, if you've met me, cuz I talk allll the time. No, really, constant stream of verbage. I guess that is why I am in law school.

But even though I talk a lot, I don't often really share. Unless I really know you. And I trust you. And that trust is hard to come by, with me. I don't quite know why that is. It's funny, I've been reading my friends blogs, and they were talking about our little road trip (we took a long ass drive to North Carolina to visit our banished friend in Chapel Hill.) And it got me thinking about my friends, all of them. I remember when I was about to start college, my mom told me to expect that I would not keep any of my friends from high school, cuz we would grow apart. And yet, here I sit in my friend's house, 6 years later, and we are as close as ever. And when I graduated from college, lots of people told me I would lose touch with the friends I had made there. And yet, off we went on a road trip, Chris, Deb and I, to visit our friend in NC. Sure, I didn't keep in touch with everyone. That would be silly, and I would never move on in my life. But the friends I was/am closest to, and the friends that really meant the most to me, from my friend Kari, who I met in kindergarden, all the way up through my new friends in law school, they will stay my friends forever. Or, at least, I hope so.

I think the thing that is interesting about friends (that was a bit of a tangent up there, but I am glad I said it) is that our relationships change. Deb mentioned in her blog (or is that blob?) that she got to see herself in our eyes. I find that interesting. Cuz I got to see myself in a new light after that trip as well. Well, during the trip, and after the trip. Little things I picked up on, either in words, or in actions, that made me think. And I wonder if those little things were there before, before we left college, and I never noticed. Or if things have changed since we graduated. If I have changed since we graduated. Well, that is silly, too much has happend in the past 2 years for me to not have changed. But the better question is, do I like who I've become? I don't really know the answer to that. Hmmmm....something to ponder...
