<< Weekend update | Main | iLL (L and I) >> September 26, 2006 >> Turn, Return and Strike Forth Again Homecoming is like how I always imagined a high school reunion might be. Acquaintences don't recognize you, you don't remember acquaintences, and the cat's tail falls off on Sunday morning. But you find yourself surprisingly pleased to run across someone you wouldn't have given a damn about if you had just met them through the Concourse several years ago. Somehow a half-decade of head nods has turned into actual conversation. The bobbing head becomes a person, as if they were always on the brink before but never quite had the time to bubble over. There are little pieces missing, like the roommates who you always saw together, a true-o duo, and now there's just one of the pair left. She's a marketer now, in Toronto. Stuff is going good. Stuff is never going badly - if it was, you wouldn't have come to Homecoming to tell everyone how well stuff is going. At least it's more interesting than waxing about midterms for mutual classes. And you now know where your friends lie, now that we're done with the lie and have moved out to pasture in the grand GTA. Have you ever noticed that green eyes are always green, even in the dark? It seems ridiculously straightforward until you really pay attention. Posted by Chris at 01:44 AM >> Commentations (2)
