wednesday thoughts...

talking to an old highschool friend today, and we realized that we've now been out of highschool longer than we were in highschool. 6 years for me, 7 for her. given how central our highschool years were to our personalities, our friendships and our futures, it's kinda crazy to realize how far away it is from where we are now. it seems so major when you're in the midst of it, and yet, in the grand scheme of things, it's quite minor. 4 years out of, what - 80?

and speaking of 'old' friends, happy birthday to my best girlfriend and major co-conspirator, allie.

sadly, this is one of only two photos i have of us together - both of which are from 2001. allie, let's take more pictures when you're home, k?
