I spoke to Emo-tastic A for 3 hours last night. It was nothing short of amazing, and strange too, since we hadn’t spoken for a really long time… not to mention the fact that he and I drifted apart during CEGEP.
He recalled how CEGEP was the happiest he had ever been; new friends, two girlfriends in two years. I thought about my CEGEP years too, and yeah, it was pretty sweet. I have a feeling that I have such hopeful hindsight. My high school days were spent thinking how happy I was in elementary, my CEGEP days were for thinking about good ol’ HS years…
We played over an hour of memory games online, singing half the time, laughing for the rest. I was a lot worse than he was (because he essentially has no life outside the internet) and we spent a lot of the time with him giving me hints for the answer…
me: What’s south of South Dakota?
him: It’s… like Alaska… but… with shadows…
me: um… Shadowska?!
him: No, not shadows… darker?
me: Darka…!?
him: Wow… I think you were closer with Shadowska… Think of an animal with stripes in Africa, except the first letter is sideways.
me: … leopard?
him: OK, I said STRIPES and AFRICA, not spots and South America.
me: Okok… zebra… Nebraska!
Yeah, we’re awesome that way. Turns out, I’m going to be e-mail buddies with him… whenever I feel like telling Big D something, I’ll just e-mail A instead.
