"Open up and say AAaaaAhhHhh!!!~!~"

I had a nice surprise last nite that an old friend called me out of the blue. We were at primary school together and played the same game - chess. It didn't make me feel as if I'd sprouted 2 heads, the conversation didn't just stop in mid flow, it was fun, it made me feel good, it was rather nostalgically like old times. I think the sign of a true friendship is that you can just pick up from where you left off, even if a lot of time has past between you both. Its rare and I think you only meet a couple of people in your life time you can do this with. For the most part I think our friends ships are very much ships that pass in the night.

It was nice catching up with her, since she was someone I used to bully. Anyway, it's nice to know that she's doing fine. She reminded me how i used to bully her and left her with a childhood trauma lol. Ok i gotta admit this, i was a big bully in school. When I was in primary school I was the typical big bully. I have been an aggressive person and i was like the ‘hardcore posse’ of the school. It was really more mental bulling rather than anything else. She got to know that I am still "alive" from a friend who attended Nigel's wedding dinner last week. And oh boy, she has been tracking me for the past 5 years. We've agreed to keep in touch and make certain that it's less than 5 years before the next time we talk.

Time flies by us all, and its easy to realize that we haven't been in touch with someone for a long time, suddenly their children are now starting school, we all have new jobs, different houses, new beginnings. I think I am really getting old.
