I've been thinking... things are going to be very different when I go away.
To my knowledge, there is no one else in this school that is going to school in Washinton DC, let alone to GW. Some of my friends are going to be going to places like UT And A&M and Texas Tech where there will be other people from Cinco, but I'm going to be completely cut off from human contact with all the people I have called friend (with the possible exception of my friend Kim from the NSLC way back in the summer of 2002 who's at American University).
It's going to be pretty tough for me to keep in contact with everyone. I mean, I say that I'll write and call and IM, but chances are that after a couple of weeks, that will cut out; history predicts that that will be so. How terrible it will be when I start to drift away from my friends who are still in Texas. It's almost like dying and being born again, when you lose your friends and then make new ones somewhere else. That's how it was when I came to Texas. I remember my old friend Daniel from Arizona; we kept in contact for a little while, but soon enough we just lost contact. I haven't talked to him since the first month after we'd moved into our house, but to this day I still remember his phone number.
I guess the only thing I can really hope for is that my memories of everything I've done don't degrade over the years. I want to remember the beach house, the band, being an actor, my first Astros game, prom, Decathlon, cheerleading, Model UN, roleplaying, my friends, my acquaintances, the people who I would pass by in the hall but never meet. It's all so important, but all so easily clouded, shoved aside, and destroyed by neglect.
I think I'm going to write some names down. And then appoint their owners to positions of power when I take over the world thirty or forty years from now.
Oh, and if any my RP friends are reading this, I should be able to continue fairly well while at college; my desire to remember the RP is more from non-Ansteorran times than anything else. But, if things go sour, I'll miss you guys too. And yes, you can have positions of power... if I can track you down.
That's all folks. Hasta la byebye.
