Finally...

...A gasp of air, as I realize I have a moment to rest and post.

It has been awhile since it happened, but something practically supernatural happened to me a few weekends ago.

Believe it or not, I have a myspace account. I rarely use it. Approximately in early October, I logged on and to my complete surprise I saw a message from a long lost friend. We had a falling out a couple years ago, and she had sought and found me on myspace.
Needless to say, her message was touching and made me miss her and weep all over again. I was so happy that we could mend the problems that were once between us and build a friendship again. I was also nervous and giddy at communicating with her after two years, and sat with the message for a few days.

It was on a Tuesday that I replied, expressing the same desire to be in each others life again. I didn't hear anything back in regards to my response.

The following Saturday, Michael and I went to the BODIES exhibit. They show preserved bodies and body parts and yadda yadda yadda

I'm in the first room of the exhibit, doodling away at the exposed muscles and organs, when there is a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and...

It was her.

You know when you are so astonished all you can say is "Oh my God" and emphasized "Wow"s? I was beyond that. I recall gaping a bit and tearing up as we started chuckling and hugged.

She had just happened to be in Seattle that day to see an opera, and just happened to go to the BODIES exhibit in the morning to kill some time. My friends and I pulled this Saturday out of a hat to go to BODIES. What are the odds?
We spent as much time together as my homework load and her schedule would allow. Lunch was wonderful, and her mother took pictures of us together.

Right now we seem to be in the same boat; full-time students and working. Thank god for e-mail, for even during the busiest times we can at least e-mail each other once a month to stay connected.
