not having long-term friends is something i dealt with a lot at various times. at the end of grade school, half of my class mates went to public schools & half to private schools - and immediately we were all so wrapped up in the new worlds of high school that we lost touch w/ those at the other school. then 2 yrs later i left for mo academy - and the few friends i had from my home high school didnt remain particularly close while we were teenagers and i was 8 hours away. also, since i was relatively removed from anyone associated w/ camp, i didnt really have my camp friends either. then after the academy, i moved back home while everyone else went away to school - so starting over again.
in the past few years though ive never completely lost touch w/ those from the academy (though its not uncommon to go a year or more without speaking), and my friendships from high school (and a couple from grade school) have randomly . . . re-formed? . . . and ive now been the maid of honor in 4 weddings.
oddly enough, the friend i consider myself to have been close to the most consistently over the longest period of time is marty - weve kept in touch relatively well since my first summer at camp, which could never have been predicted that summer (98). speaking of which, i might be hanging out w/ him & jessica next weekend. any messages youd like me to pass along if you all havent spoken lately?
