that's cool that you've stayed tight since high school - hopefully that will stay with you forever - or as long as possible...

you will see your pal again... and you'll probably make new buddies in the process

More like, since kindergarten. And I know, I was just sharing some personal stuff in here. I will be fine. Thanks Mal.

“The great danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”

Set your sites high people. Think big. Focus on your accomplishments. Remember, you can only hit what you aim at.

it's nice having a friendship that lasts that long - my best friend in the entire world - was my best friend since kindergarden... my second best was there since 1st grade... both are now dead... (one on 9/11 the other march 2, 2003) so really appreciate them while you got 'em...because you never know...

Ok that was morbid..

oohh we got a peak into the abyss otherwise known as steve. hugs steve. Oh and mow mow says 'Mow!' which means "its ok!! you and your friends will be friends forever!" in kitty language--she is such an evesdropper.

I am definitely envious of those tight knit relationships with the friends and especially the ones from grade school. I don't have any friends from grade school left, I moved outta state at 14 (only 30 mins away) with my mom and left them all. The one that I reconnected with last year burned me and burned me badly! She also is not mature enough to even see the wrong in her actions and I'm not dumb enough to put myself in those types of situations again! I do have 2 great friends from high school, but one is 3 hours away and the other is 4.5 hrs away. Needless to say I rarely see them.

so sorry Mal... It's nice that you could be friends for so long though

I like that quote - there's a similar one I think from the cheesey movie Now Voyager - Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you'll land among the stars (or something like that.. )

I have one friend from 4th grade who I still consider one of my best friends because when we hang out, it's like no time has passed.
Something funny happened a couple of years ago:
When I was 9, I moved from southern cali to northern cali with my mom, and I moved back to Socal when I was 18 for my Granna.
One day I was at the drug store, and recognized my best friend from 3rd grade! It was pretty cool

Look what you started Steve!

Who said this? I like it

I know, trust me Mal. I lost 3 of my closest friends in the span of 2 years in car wrecks. Though it was the hardest time of my life so far, it was also the most eye-opening. I live my life through them really. Once you really understand the fragility of life, at least for me, it makes me want to squeeze it for all the juice its got.

Which I am.

I have 2 cats too. Their names are Frank and Bob.

lol! I love those names for kitties I have Mow Mow, and Stew Ped (Stew lives with my mom in CO, but she is mine) Mow was given to me right before a really hard time in my life, and this may be a really sappy thing to say, but I was lucky to have to because she is a goofball cat that fits my goofball personality, and having her helped through soo much. Pets are sooo important IMO.

HI! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
