Old Acquaintances.

I’m not overly happy tonight – hence no posts – but I was just reading some old stuff and remembering a couple of people who used to be regulars. I suppose they should be nameless, but…

One was young and American. She was seriously aspirational, and is probably betrothed to the quarterback of the college football team by now. If only she had been a little more polarised and less given to insisting on the midline view of everything, I would have considered being a surrogate uncle.

The other was a little less young and from various places in Australia. She was avowedly un-aspirational, and one of the cookiest people I’ve ever encountered. She might well be a nun by now, but I’m hoping she saw the light and pulled out of the God freefall state before she became tedious. If only she’d been less into Jesus, I might have considered being her best friend.

Life moves on, and the random nuggets we see lying by the wayside ignore us once we’ve passed by.
