Really missing an old friend of mine tonight... it's been years since I've had any contact from her, but when we were in high school, she was essentially my best friend. She was the one who'd keep convincing me to try new stuff, broaden my mind and such. I crushed on her hard back then, because I was shy and awkward and couldn't differentiate between a deep friendship and a crush.
Since then, she got diagnosed with a variety of stuff, nothing life-threatening - I know she's still active on the 'net at least, but I can't really get in contact with her, and any previous attempts from a couple years back were welcomed, then just sort of faded into the aether.
I don't begrudge her her privacy... just missing her bigtime tonight, for some reason.
