Old Friends, Good Times...

I spent more than three hours at Chilis today and had the best time I've had in a long, long time Met up with four friends from elementary/high school for the first time in years. They all live in or around our hometown, so they see each other from time to time, but as a group, we've not hung out in at least 15 years, maybe more

It was like time had stood still in so many ways--we still make each other laugh over the dumbest things imaginable--goofy nicknames, silly stories, faces, whatever--and are able to laugh at ourselves in the process.

Not living anywhere near the people whom I grew up with, I forget the good times (and the bad, for that matter) from the past. It was so nice to be able to flashback for a little while and just hang out with those who knew me when I had a mad crush on Kevin from Spanish or who remember going to birthday parties at the skating rink or wearing horrible jeans or being threated by the scary lunch girls.

Ah, the memories.
