day 21, with delays

today's question/topic is "your best friend is in a car accident right after you fight. what do you do?" i think this is a lame-face question. i'd go straight to the hospital, emergency room, whatever. i'd be there. i'm not twelve. i could never be mad enough that i wouldn't be there for my friend and her family if something awful happened. we've never really been much for fighting, anyway. we had one fight when we were sixteen. about a boy. and we got over it really fast. that's why we're friends. i don't think there is a fight i couldn't forgive and forget. unless it's about my daughter. you hurt my child, i probably won't forgive and forget.
so, yeah, lame question. sorry, i didn't make 'em up. maybe tomorrow will be more interesting...

day 9: someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted.

hummm. honestly, i don't think this has ever happened to me. if i have drifted apart from someone, it was probably ( read definitely) by choice, and not just an accidental drifting. there have been times that i worried my best friend and i were drifting apart. we're both very busy. i have a school-aged child, a full-time job, and a boyfriend. she's got school, like, forty-three jobs, and a husband. add into that a two-year peace corps adventure (not mine) and the fact that our opinions on religion and politics differ a lot more than they used to. i sometimes thought that it was only a matter of time before we just had nothing in common. i was wrong.
for one thing, no matter what changes, we'll always have our history in common. we've gone through a lot of crap, and we've accepted each other in spite of it. also, i love her. when something bad happens to my friend, my heart gets all achy for her. she's always stood by my side, and i'll always stand by hers. we may not be meeting for lattes, or whatever it is girls do, but our friendship is immutable.
that said, if you feel like you haven't seen me in a while, i'm probably just busy. sorry. we'll get together for that latte soon, i promise. i just need to get ellie through school first.
