Have You Ever...

...had a friend that you lost touch with, just because life is hectic and you never get around to contacting them? Then you actually find some time to do so, but it has been so long since you have spoken with them that it just seems too awkward? You feel like you've lost all rapport and that you won't even know where to begin or what to talk about?

Hi, Blog. That is you and I right now. Let's be friends again. I miss chatting with you.

♪ It will be... just like starting oooverrr-ahhh ♫

(I hope you just used your best John Lennon voice to read that!)

I still sign in and read the blogs I follow, but like some weird ex-girlfriend checking out your Facebook page to spy on you I stay quiet and simply observe. Well, that is just weird. I vow to be more participatory and less voyeuristic.

During the month I had off between my first and second semesters back at school I know I also promised to write more often then. I lied. Forgive me. I also planned to get caught up on my leisure reading but I didn't do that either. However, I finally feel as though I am getting the hang of school again, and less like I'm getting an ulcer and hovering imminently over a breakdown. So this seems like a good time to come visit you.

Kids. You send them off to college and then they just forget you exist. Jerks. Well, I need my laundry done, so I'm back.

How have you been?
