So, I'm much happier now than I was this morning. Just as I was going to get up and head out to Lunch, I spotted Miss Claire on AIM and said hello. We haven't talked nearly all summer, and it was so good to see her again. I really miss her sometimes. But she ghosted herself and we sat and chatted for a good forty minutes before I went on my way. It felt so good to talk with her again; I've missed that feeling, warm and loving. She's one of my dearest friends, and I really wish we could keep in better touch than we have. It's funny; sometimes I think that those I hold dearest are often the ones I see the least. It's kind of sad, too.
I've always had more lady-friends than guy-friends, as a rule. I tend to think it has to do with predator-instinct, but I just seem to not get along with most guys as easily as I do with ladies. Louis, Zack, Jim, and a few others being exceptions to the rule. In Highschool, a good many of my lady-friends were going through relationships and breakups, and they were always struggling to 'Get Over' the last guy. I never understood that. I'm OK with how things are between Claire and I, though I took a very long time to get there, and early on the breakup hurt. Maybe that's what the Ladies meant by 'Getting Over' him, coming to terms with things and being able to carry on. But I'll always love her, I'm quite certain of that. She's as dear to me as family, but family which I've chosen for my own. That's the real beauty of friends, I think; they're the family you get to choose for yourself.

Date: 2004-08-25 11:20 am (UTC)I was sitting here with the LJ-Notify email I got, reading my popst over and over thinking "where in the world did I make a Princess Bride reference?"
Then I remembered the subject which, of course, the LJ-Notify doesn't show me.
