I got an email from JC yesterday that made me gasp. Chelsea was there. I just... couldn't... picture it. He's got a girlfriend now, which in itself is not gasp-worthy, but who it is is. She went to high school with us, I knew her and we hung out with the same people but I wouldn't say
we were friends. After dating Janet, I have pictured JC with someone girly and domestic. Belinda was not exactly either in high school. To say the least, she was a tomboy. That's neither good nor bad, but just... Yeah. I basically told JC just that in my reply so I wonder what he'll say. I didn't keep in contact with her and we were not close and people do change. It has been
five years since high school. A hell of a lot happens in five years. I probably wouldn't even recognize myself from high school.
That made me think about my girl friends from Vancouver and how I haven't heard from (m)any of them in a while. I did some Facebook stalking and saw Anne Marie's pictures from Australia. She's a bronze medal world syncho champion! I had no idea. It just makes me feel a bit shitty that I haven't been better at writing. I am the first person to lay the blame on but, as Andrew loves to say, it takes two to tango.
Speaking of Andrew, we talk about once a week. I talked about it with Yvonne, that we only talk once a week these days. Before he started dating Kazuya, we talked almost daily and hung out at least once a week. Not only is he dating now, but I've got work and he's got school but last term we still saw each other on a regular basis despite our schedules. He sent me a message on Friday to check up and I suggested going to Yoyogi since it was such a gorgeous day but he had school work to do. We didn't make any plans then and there to do anything, but he said he wouldn't be free until he finished what he needed to do and that probably wouldn't be until after dinner. Fair enough. I completely understand that school comes first. I was a student too, not so long ago...
But... I'm okay. I'm really okay. My fears about being shoved to the side when he and Kazuya got together are partially founded - we haven't seen or talked to each other as much in the last month or so. But I know if I need to, I can call him him and he'll do his best to see me. Why can't I find a straight boy to date like that?
Enough existentialism and soul searching. I am going to write a bit more and try to get Chapter 2 out as soon as I can. :3 I leave you with a gem from my past when I worked at
Grounds for Coffee in Vancouver making cinnamon buns. I miss those girls.
