All kinds of random things make me think of my friends. Actually, they're really not random things at all; they're very specific things. Things that other people might not even notice, like the way a person walks, or a word I've only heard one person use. A speech pattern, a facial expression, the way they tell a story. The silly jokes only they laugh at, the reactions they hope to get from me when they say certain things. The way they stand...a trick I picked up in high school trying to recognize people from a distance. Capri Sun. A movie we watched together, a song we both love. Car sing-alongs. Pez dispensers and broken toes. A whole summer of A's games in the bleachers pre-Mount Davis.
Where is this going? I don't know. I just hope people notice these weird little things about me too.
