There is an incredibly annoying glare on my screen from the sun coming in behind me. I have been away from my parents’ home for a while now and I return to find certain things changed. Like the curtains in the window of the computer room, they’re gone. Other things are missing though, and there are also new things around. I talk to my parents on the phone about twice a week, funny how they don’t mention the changes to me.

I don’t let this bother me however. Not today. I’m pretty excited for the day’s events. Today, I’m spending time with one of my best friends which is always a treat. Being in love with your best friends makes it all that much sweeter. Tonight, I’m meeting with some friends who I haven’t seen for quite some time. Old friends from high school. Weird part is, I know that we don’t really know each other. We’ve hardly spoken face-to-face since high school but we’ve managed to keep in touch through the wonders of email and ICQ. Is that enough to build on a friendship? It’s still communication. I can still convey my ideas to them. Maybe it isn’t enough, but at least it’s something. Either way, I’m looking forward to this evening. As Sid would say, “I’m fucking chuffed!” about tonight.
I’ll save you a seat.
