Who Says You Can't Rewrite History

The past 30 days have been filled with long lost friends.

The first one was my childhood partner in crime, Andy*. I know that I've known her since we were 13 but it never made sense how we became so close. We are almost polar opposites. She's a partyer, I'm a home body. She's very outgoing and I'm an introvert. She's always involved in some sort of drama and I'm usually a bystander. Since our 'reunion' I've been a part of neighborhood gossip, interacted with a girl in a gold bikini, and been to a lesbian club. I haven't seen her in the last week which may the reason why I've been so mellow these days.

The second 'reunion' was with my high school boyfriend. You already know what's going on with that.

The third was with my college clique. I got some sad news from Curb*,that one of our members, Disco*, died from heart failure. I couldn't make it to the funeral, but was lucky enough to speak with Curb in time to go to the reunion dinner. I saw numerous friends that I haven't seen in almost ten years. I also got a chance to talk to Jim*, who was my college 'homey'. Jim couldn't make the dinner because he works outside of the city for an overnight camp.
Jim was a part of the clique but we tended to always separate ourselves from the rest of the crew. While everyone else was about having fun, causing a scene and making their presence known, Jim was very laid back and never rocked the boat. He was someone I knew I could trust. We never had an actual romantic relationship, but because we spent so much time together, everyone thought we did.

And the last reunion was just a few minutes ago with...a guy, Ram*, who I was so head over heels for but scared away. We had a short lived romance (if you want to call it that) but it was well worth it. he's friends with nother childhood aquaintance, Dug*, who's been trying to sell me a car. Dug called to say that he would stop by to talk about my options. I didn't know Ram would be in the car, so when he got out, I was speechless. I managed to be able to keep it together to talk business, but once that was out of the way, I had to talk to Ram to see what he's been up the last 7 years. Like everyone else, he's working and has a 3 yr old son. We exchanged numbers but who knows what will come of it.

*sigh*

Each relationship was handled in haste. Like most young adults I wasn't worried about consequences but instead instant gratification. Maybe with this resurgence of past friends, I can change history. If not, I'm sure it will be a hell of a lot fun trying.
