lindsay and I were talking in first today about "divorcing", aka, the terrible and painful and "pulls your skin off and away painful" way of losing friends. we're not even talking about tragedies here, just the subtle pulling away and changing of people. how, when a friend causes you stress, when they're supposed to be there to help and be one of the good things in life, it really really sucks. especially best friends. having to go on seeing them every single day in different changed moods and a subtly wrong atmosphere. things just don't click.
it's worse than a break-up, i think, because at least then you have an excuse to move on and forget. but how can you do with that with someone you were just as brain-intimate with? because you still think about them and miss them and it still hurts but it fades. you just don't get the closure of a "break-up".
maybe it hurts so much because it's supposed to be and somewhere you know that.
AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:
So, I'm on a roll here. wilson and matthews loved our TOK skit, said it was uber-creative and stuff. thank god it's done and they liked it. phew!!! I loved being the MC for our T O K (Throw Out Knockdown) secular vs. sacred battle, it was a chance to be entirely presumptuous. i know, like that's a change.
then a bug flew in my eye. i was merrily tripping my way to my car when BAM, this little Insignificant Speck of Black went kamikaze on my eyelashes and suddenly there was a Very Significant Amount of Acid Pain. I think I fell over.
Just goes to show you. It's all karma.
