twenty-something

My old friend Meghan is back in town, after two years abroad in Thailand. Went out to dinner with her, another dear old friend, Kelly, and Duncan. And, guess what? It was awesome.

Yeah, its a little awkward reconnecting with a long-gone friend, but after that -- it was killer. It felt like old times a little, like college, browsing the cheap and tacky clothese at Old Navy. Going to Ben and Jerry's. Talking, laughing, yadda yadda. It was the same - but different enough to feel like it was something new. Renewed, I guess. A frien-esance, if you will. (Butchered that, sorry Pheobe.)

I'm still here -- in Burlington, and its nice, for once, to not feel like the only one. Meghan is back. Kelly's not far. And maybe, just maybe, I can convince them all to stay around for one more year. We can get a fun little apartment. And my last year in Burlington will kick lots of booty, Alias-style.

Oh yeah. Command decision: I am here for another year. Unless I get fired. Or have another breakdown. So you never know.

But I think that last year could be rockin'. I'm being social left and right here, and things are feeling a little better, on that front anyway. I'm looking forward to laid-back and fun summer. I'm hopeful that my life, and my return to Burlington will turn into something a little better than just an awesome job and a relationship.

Hope. Yeah.
