The Politics of Nostalgia

[catelin]

Weird night just got weirder! Was cruising through the mp3's for the night and ran across a face from the past. Strange how life always bends back over onto itself. Friend of an ex-boyfriend. I overcame the initial hesitation and sent a short email to say hello. Don't ya hate that? The "his friends--her friends" shit that happens when people split? It's been so long now but I still remember how quickly "our" friends got divied up just like the furniture and leftover bills. Still, it was a such a pleasant surprise to run across someone I hadn't seen for so long that I took a deep breath and behaved like a grown-up. I am soooooooooo mature! Hehe!
