This made me happy, and I’m glad that Casie came and hung out yesterday and we got caught up. She’s someone who I can not talk to for months, and pick right back up where we left off as soon as we start talking again. Plus, she understands me, and knows that underneath all the joking and self-deprication, there is someone who is a complete emotional wreck and absolutely terrified of never finding love, and love is all I need to survive. It’s weird to have people that completely get you like this, but I’m glad that I have the people I do in my life, and I’m glad Casie is one of them.

It isn’t often that you find people that you feel 100% comfortable around all of the time. I have been lucky enough in life to have three of the best friends in the world (Dakota DeRidder and Marcie effing Polonsky and Jeremy Miller for those of you living in a cave). They are three people that see straight through any lies that I tell them, understand the most random jokes, and I can sit and talk for hours upon hours with them without the slightest hint of an awkward silence.
Then sometimes you find these people and for some reason or another you lose sight of the friendship or lose your hold on it and it isn’t some sort of concious decision but the two parties drift apart. Then you look back at the friendship and wonder what happened and why you don’t talk anymore and regret losing touch.
Even less likely, though, you get a second chance, a fresh start at an old friendship. I got that yesterday/today and I am honestly so happy that it happened. It certainly is weird how there are some people that you can go months without talking to but when you finally get the chance to catch up it is still so easy.
Tonight was a good combination of both thinking of past memories and creating new ones. I somehow managed to just walk into the room and was easily able to slip right back into the friendship where I left off. Sure there was explaining to do and questions that needed asked but somehow it was done without the awkward small talk. It’s nice just clicking with someone and knowing that you don’t have to work to keep a conversation going. It was weird how often I realized that even without talking that much in the past year or so we still had the similar opinions, we could keep up the usual banter, we still had similar interests, and we could still use completely circular arguments and come to no conclusion but feel like all problems had been solved.
Moral of the story, I’m pretty glad I went out to the Kudelko’s this evening and went ghost hunting. I definitely want to stay involved in the podcasting and eventual radio program.
