Old friends.

What do you talk about with old friends that phase themselves out of your life?

That's always a hard question, and an awkward moment when you sit down with them. I haven't actually sat down with someone recently, but this is the question that's been popping into my head lately more and more. When old friends that used to know everything about you suddenly try to rekindle the spark, it's an uncomfortable feeling. There are people I confided in that just fell out, not in a bad way, but just had life take them somewhere else. It sucks sometimes, but sometimes it's good to have a couple weeded out of the equation. There's actually a couple people I wish I could still talk to, but when it actually comes down to it, I have nothing to say.

I don't care about your kids. I'm not concerned about the effect your ex's have had on you since we last talked. I'm not particularly interested in what school your going to in what city or state. After a length of time, it's out of sight, out of mind.

But there's still some people I choose to talk to. Not neccessarily for any particular reason, but there are still some people I can talk to regardedless of how long it's been since i've been personable with them because of dynamic personalities. Shit, you may run into someone at a bar that you can talk to all night, and then part ways. "Well, it's late. Thanks for the beer." Stimulating conversation and the personal fascination with a person keep me hooked on some people. Some people just strike me as sooooo cool that I can't afford to not have SOME kind of contact with them. And so people don't understand that.

I should probably go clean my shower... *toke*
