I feel like facebook is the only way to keep up with old friends lately.  I know I haven't done well in keeping in touch with a lot of people.  But I figured it was time for a xanga blog to vent a bit. 

My life is coming together fairly well.  I can't complain.  I have a great job that I love.  I own a beautiful home.  I have a loving boyfriend.  I do have a core group of friends that I can rely on. 

But what about the numerous people that have been such a large part of my life prior to this point?  Many of them I haven't talked to in years.  A lot of them I would imagine seeing them may be an awkward encounter.  Maybe its all in my head.  But it made me a little nostalgic and sad too find out who is engaged, married, pregnant, etc.  I know I don't do my part to keep in touch, except as the casual observer on networking websites, but I guess life is so different for me now then.  I am afraid that every time I take another step forward, I leave another person behind.  Its an awful feeling to feel like there have been few constants throughout many of my life moves. 

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the life I created.  I just wish there were more seams that wove the many pieces of my life together.

So I was at World Market the other day and I saw that they started carrying Ramune japanese soda.  3 flavors!  I guess I got excited because it reminded me of all the fun and friends I had that could appreciate those things with me.  Everyone down here just looks at me funny that I want to buy such things.  O well.  I guess thats what I get for living in the south. 

I'm bringing Xanga back - drop a comment if you're with me!
