YAY!!!!
Tuesday, August 16, 2005Tell me you don't love it when this rare occurrence happens:
You're sitting at your desk, or well anywhere for that matter. You have no plans for later, probably just going to end up watching TV or a movie.
The phone rings.
So of course you grab the phone, check to make sure it's not OCD/Anxiety girl or your equivalent (there's always one...). On the caller ID: A really good friend who moved away and you rarely get to hear from.
YAY!!!!!!!!
You answer, they say "Hey!!!! It's so and so! How are you?" You go though the standard stuff, then you hear "I'm in Town! I came in for blah blah BLAH. We need to hang out!"
YAY!!!!!!!!
So yeah, basically my best friend from college, Orientation Girl, is in town. She apparently came in for a friend of a friends wedding as an excuse to come back to the cities (she's out in CO now, Grand Junction I believe and was in Vernal, Utah before that). We talk and make plans to hang out tonight because I'm going to be gone tomorrow night until Monday night and she's only in town until Thursday.
YAY!!!!!!!
OG and I met in orientation (gee, go figure from the name eh?) for college and we started in the same major, but both eventually changed to different ones. We hung out ALL the time. For the first year and a half of college, basically everyone who didn't know us thought we were dating. We even went so far as to do our schedules so we were in all of the same classes. I still have the notebook we used soley for writing notes to each other back and forth in class. Mind you, I totally would have loved to date her, but she had her own little rule that she didn't want to date good friends because dating might ruin the friendship. So friends it was, and we still hung out very very frequently until she graduated and got a job out in Utah.
She's a Geological Engineer and does well testing for Oil companies to see what's at the bottom of their holes before they tap into them. She tells them whether or not it's worth setting up all the equipment to get what's down there.
Sounds like we're going to get together after work and probably head over to The Condo for a bit so she can see the new place and then we're going to head downtown and meet up with some other mutual friends.
I totally miss OG, it's going to rock to get to hang out with her!
Yay!

Oh I am SO jealous!!! My best friend from college and I were basically the same way. We spent every waking moment together. Now he's marrying my college roommate and I'm a bridesmaid! He lives in Los Angeles though so I never get to see him :( So very very jealous you get to see your OG!

That's great! I have so many good friends who live far away from me that it's crazy. I love it when they pop up in town and I get to feed them! (I love to cook, and actually, they all rely on me to stuff them silly...that's my role: friend feeder)
What a great surprise! -
