Medina, Ohio

I spent most of yesterday with my friend David S. I was upset about a guy so I decided to lay it all on him since I get to hear all about his relationship problems. And it helped. I needed to get out of the apartment and forget about my problems. Plus, after being rejected, sometimes I need to hear good things about me.

I have known David since elementary school and David keeps in contact with people from high school. Last night he was heading over to Adam D.'s house and brought me along. I crashed the party. I hadn't been to Adam's house since 6th grade. There were all these people that I hadn't seen since I graduated 7 years ago.

It's great to learn what everyone is doing. One lives in Oregon, one lives in Seattle and works for Lockheed Martin, and the rest of us are still in Ohio doing our thing. When I graduated, I always thought I would never want to see these people again.(Not these people in particular, just people from high school in general.) But I really enjoyed hanging out with people I had grown up with and seeing how much everyone has changed. We are all grown up.

Tonight, I am going to Jenny's for her family's Christmas party. This has become a tradition for me, parting with Jenny and her family every Christmas eve. Jenny is also a friend from high school, though we didn't start hanging out with each other until college. Jenny lives in Atlanta now so I only get to see her around holidays when she comes up to visit her family. Again, this is a chance for me to catch up with old friends that I don't get to see very often.
