Isn't it strange how seeing/talking to someone that you haven't in a while takes you back to the time you last knew them? You remember the person that you were at that time and suddenly realize that you are no longer that person. Maybe it only happens to me. I was just reminiscing about the girl I was not too many years ago, but a few. I took a turn over to Justin Pool's page and was reading through his latest entries and he still seems to be pretty much the same as he was when he left for Japan the first time. It just made me remember who I was when he left. It also made me realize how much fun we had together during our brief time together. For those of you who didn't know we kind of dated for a time while I was a senior in high school. It was right before he left for Japan the first time. I've always wondered if there was more going on than I was aware of. Now looking back at who I was then, I'm aware of the fact that I had no idea of what was going on around me. Not that I was self absorbed or anything like that, I just wasn't paying attention. I have to wonder how many people I hurt or ignored during that time without even being aware of what I was doing. I also have to wonder if I'm still doing it. I mean if I wasn't aware of it then, how could I be aware of it now? How many things have I done that I don't know about? How can I stop what I'm doing if I don't know what it is?

Andrea!

I realize I probably wasn't your intended audience when you wrote this, but you can blame Kris. He made me aware of his livejournal which led me to your livejournal, which led me to here.

And you're right...we do get taken back when we talk to or read about someone from our past. I've been reminiscing since I read this first a few hours ago.

I felt kind of silly getting into a relationship at the time, knowing I would have to say goodbye in a couple months, but it was well worth it.

Anyway, this is the comment section of livejournal, not a book of memoirs. So you can e-mail me back at justin (at!) ellsworthlink (dot!) net.

It's nice reading about you.
