funny.

it's kinda funny (funny-ironic, not funny-haha) when i think about the people i've met coming to college, and how easy it is for me to forget that they had lives before i met them. maybe this has something to do with my weird sense of memory that i mentioned previously, or maybe it's just a total egocentric thing that's coming into play when i forget that these people have hometowns and hometown friends and experiences that i know nothing about. i saw this icon one time that sort of summarizes that and it said something along the lines of: your college friends accept you for who you are. your high school friends know what made you that way.

i guess what got me thinking about this was i've been looking over the blog entries from my myspace and one was a reflection of everything that had happened in 2005 (it was right around the new year). one of the things i mentioned was my 15th birthday when i went and saw the movie "cry wolf" with two really good friends of mine. in a mix-up, my mom didn't end up picking us up until an hour after the movie had let out and we had nothing to do but hang around the movie theatre. little did i know then that my first boyfriend (who i hadn't met yet) would start working at that very movie theatre two years later and that he lived about 5 minutes from the place we were wasting time at.

and that's just one example. maybe the only reason i'm thinking about this is because south carolina's so small and you can potentially run into someone you know no matter what town you go to. who knows. just some food for thought.
