Memory Lane: Ticket for one, please

The shuffle on iTunes has apparently been set to "nostalgia" which has been making me, redundantly enough, nostalgic. I've been thinking about days gone by, friends lost, good times had and pain felt.

I've been contacted occasionally by people from my high school, which is surprising. I can't seem to make the time to reply, though. So much has happened in the last eight-going-on-nine years that it would be impossible to explain in a concise manner without going on endlessly. Not to mention that I don't really have a pile of happy memories about high school. That person really bears no resemblance to me anymore. I don't even really remember him.

Through a little myspace link-surfing, I managed to track down some of the old whitewater crew. It doesn't look like much has changed, all things considered, with one tremendous exception: AK has a kid. Out of all of them, he was certainly the last one I expected to have a child at our age, but it's impossible to expect anything from AK, since he was always fairly enigmatic. It looks like Dorsch is back in school (at UWO) and otherwise the same as ever, and Box graduated from UWW and is gearing up to get his career underway and possibly move across country. From what I gather, they're still in touch with Jake and the others, though no mention of CJ can be found anywhere. Luckily by this point I'm over most of the shitty memories and when I do get nostalgic I remember all of the fun we used to have together.

Ah well, that's how life is anyways. People move into and out of each others' lives and that's just the way the human machine keeps working. I think I'll take some time while Kris works on her final to write back to Dara and Sarah and drop a note to Alea. Who knows, I might even see what Dorsch is up to for the fun of it, though I doubt he'd want anything to do with me anymore.
