this has been a pretty good weekend, i have to say. it was all about getting in touch with people i hadnt seen in a while. one of which i hadnt seen in over 4 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so i got to chill with my friend jane saturday. we hadnt seen each other since we graduated college almost 2 years ago. i spent the better part of the day doing girl things with her. hair salon, manicure. i really connected with my feminine side. i really did. really. all capped with a nice round of soju and takoyaki and okonomiyaki for dinner. she\u2019s out in connecticut, where they do fun things like\u2026breathe air, and eat food. (jk!) well, the point was she\u2019s far enough away to make the whole hanging out thing an effort. but then we got reminded how fun it was to hang out with each other, so we\u2019ll hopefully hang out more now. woo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the second friend. well. ags. my ags. we hadnt seen each other in over 4 years. but we\u2019ve been doing the email\/aim thing since, and we\u2019ve always been tight b\/c of that. i mean, its still a pretty impersonal form of communication, but we always sound more eloquent in text anyway. and as long as the text backs up the last impression you had of that person, then it\u2019s easier to pretend that that person is right there with you. so after all these years, she came to nyc (from china) for business, and we got to hang out. albeit an abbreviated \u201changing out\u201d, but at least i dont have to say anymore that we last saw each other 4 years ago. my ags is all grown up now! and coo as ever. but she\u2019s going back to china now, and its back to aim and email. so now i have to start saving my pennies for those flight tix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
