Well, camp season is over... And I've been having strange dreams lately about friends from my past and such. It's been making me reflect a little and relive the "glory days" in my head. I wonder about where people are now... What they are doing... Who they turned out to be. You know, the general things. Then I begin to wonder if they ever wonder about me. It's often times very strange to think that there were some people 5, 10 or 15 years ago that were so very close to me that, now, I have no earthly idea where they are in life. 50y own fault. Guilty as charged. But... yeah.
I'm glad to have found some of my "old" friends on here and been able to reconnect (somewhat). It's been fun to share old memories and such. So... I thought I might put a few of my fondest friend memories down here - and if you have some fond memories of us you'd like to share, feel free... I'm in the reminiscing mode right now...
Laura & Jarod - remember the time we played Phase 10 at your apartment and listened to "Singin' in the Rain" soundtrack? I had never watched that movie all the way through, but now it's one of my favorites. I even have a little dog that's all dressed up in a raincoat and stuff that sings that...
Phil - remember that one van trip that we had back from Missouri somewhere when we talked about dating and marriage and what all we wanted for our lives? I think that was one of my most treasured conversations ever. You were such a great friend during those Life Force days.
Derek - oh...where to begin with you?? hehe! Remember those couple of semesters where all we did was talk during class instead of paying attention? I'll bet Chaney still hates us.
Justin & Lauren - remember when we were really little and we used to play Thundercats at Justin's house? I was always Chetara (or however you spell it) and I was convinced that I could run so fast, you couldn't see me.
Lauren, I remember all your birthday parties - you always got a jar of pickles from someone, and we all loved your birthday because we got to swim in your pool.
Sid - all the trips to SDC for Skip Day... I still have a 'hankerin' to go every year around April now...
Julie & Angie - "Did you ever suck it? Wait, I mean your thumb!"
Julie, Angie, Roxanne, Will, Amy, etc, etc - Spades at camp. Let me tell ya, they just don't do fun stuff like that anymore. We need to have a reunion.
Janna - so many funny memories with you, too! Like the time you went to the Fletcher Free Fair with me and you and Erin wanted to know if you could ride the cows.
Dandi - you, me and Glen doing the feeding of the 5,000. I still have to pull that annoying voice out every so often because it's just so much fun to do!
Shannon - sneaking out of your house to go visit the boys in Cyril. I can't believe we never got caught!
Justin M - security checks at Talequah! and bowling... and late night cards... hehe!
John C - two words - academic team! we had so much fun with that!
Nathan S - You remember the time you farted in the CIY minivan on the way to Cinci and it literally turned the air green????? Well, it was either you or Andy, I can't remember!!
John (my darling hubby) - remember the first time we talked on the phone and it lasted for HOURS! I still remember a lot of that conversation.
There are so many more memories that I have, and a lot of them are just too personal and close to my heart to share with the blogging world. Many of you have been there for me during really hard times, but also for really great times. We've been through childhood, teendom, college, pregnancy or camp - or maybe all of them!!
I just wanted all of you to know how special I consider you and how blessed I am to count many of you as close friends, even if we aren't as close as we once were.
And now... I'm off to message a few of you with special memories that I want to share with you. Have a nice night!!!!
