The fumes from the burnt out cars must be getting to my head. Here I was all angry that I couldn't get to my email for many reasons, ONE OF THEM was that I wanted to send birthday wishes to an old friend.
(Old in both senses of the word as she too has entered her 30th year..ooooo)
I finally got into my email this morning and wrote an email, all apologetic as it was NOT MY FAULT that my provider decided to have crappy service for 4 DAYS STRAIGHT and not let us know what the problem was.
And it was only right now, this afternoon, that I went DUH sometimes THIS is what a blog is for.
My friend A-M has been in my life since high school. She was the girl I would spend many hours on the phone, contemplating life and how it was that the two of us could make a difference.
She was also the one who had a 'cool mom', you know, those moms that seem to let all the friends do the coolest things?
One of THE COOLEST things she did was let A-M paint her room white and have her friends make comments all over the walls.
Talk about expression.
Go to A-M house and you wouldn't want to be left out by NOT signing the wall.
It was such a mini-rebellion. A way for us teenagers to express ourselves, leave our mark, all in permanent ink. I vaguely remember what I wrote but I can imagine besides my typical 'Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think', I'm sure I put a heart around my name and another boys...now, if I could only remember who I was in love with at that time...
They have since moved from that house and I'm not sure what became of all those walls. I'm sure knowing A-M, she's scrapbooked pictures of it somewhere.
But I will always remember the freedom of A-M's house.
That and belting out drunken versions River Boat Fantasy at TLO's cottage.
Happy 29th Birthday on 12 September A-M
May this year bring you as much joy and excitement as the last decade has:)
