how the tables have turned

Two weekends ago I attended my church youth group reunion. It's been 13 years since I had seen some of these people, so naturally it was with mixed feelings that I attended. I realised that I missed my friends, but certainly not the church- some things never change. It was seeing my old best friend, however, that was most telling. We had a falling out about 13 years ago over something ridiculous and hadn't spoken since. We're both very stubborn. Needless to say there were no hard feelings between us- I think she's missed me as much as I've missed her, so it was nice to touch base again and 'be friends' once more.
Fast-forward one week and I'm at my old friends' house. I was without children for the weekend so it was a perfect opportunity to start again. We chit-chatted and laughed about old times, then she floored me with a touch of sensitivity that I wasn't aware she possesed. She looked at me, smiling, and said, "You know? It's been so long and so much has happened since then, but it doesn't feel like a day has passed." I heartily agreed with her, and for a moment I think we were both a tad uncomfortable as our teenage selves emerged, unsure of what to make of such warmth.

Then she told me she was gay.
When did THAT happen?????

so yeah...

I'm once again musing about musing, and listening to music that takes me back probably too far for my own good. I need a place to randomize those thoughts that tickle me, so here I am...


thus far, nothing beckons.
story of my life.
I'll come back later with interesting things, I promise.
