Some several years ago, while I was in high school, I was friends with this girl Liz. She is, to this date, the coolest chica I have met in my life. Not only is she smarter than every other woman I have come across, she is smarter than every other man I have come across. She's funny, witty, relaxed, beautiful, deep, and takes care of business. A definite 10 across the board.

Anyhow, during high school, the two of us were working together on an English project. We were over at her house talking about psychology (we were studying Kant, Jung, Freud, and other modern philosophers/psychologists)...out of nowhere, this girl points out to me a squirrel running across her lawn. We go into a bit of a joke riot about her ADD...good times.

FF 2 years later. I've pretty much lost all contact with this girl, but for some reason, every time I saw a squirrel I was reminded of that one moment.

FF 2 more years to last week. I was beginning to think about old friendships that I'd let die off so I could go out and get fucked up. I ended up riding my bike across town to the church I last knew this girl to attend two days ago (no valid license right now, thanks to getting fucked up!). She wasn't there, but I still met and rekindled with a whole bunch of the parishioners I had known. She ended up coming into the place a bit late.

Anyways, we talked a bunch about old friends, caught up on a ton of stuff. It was weird though, I found that she, just like myself, was reminded of that one particular moment any time she saw a squirrel. This led down a multitude of conversational topics and practically revived our friendship over an hour's time.

I find it absolutely amazing and awesome, that such a seemingly insignificant event can be enough to rekindle a friendship several years dead...separated by drugs, loss of contact, religious differences, and so on.

I'm stoked that I got to see her again and that there were no hard feelings over me having totally fucked the friendship into the ground. Methinks I'm going to stay in contact this time, she's truly an awesome person.

I bow to thee, nut-in-cheek rodent, that thou hast saved a friendship dear to my heart. Crunch-chew-crunch. Amen.

Good for you I guess. It's hard for me to have girl friends because of the whole sexual tension, but if you've found a great friend, don't mess it up just because she's a woman. And kudos on being the bigger man and doing something about it.

Thanks. I do have sexual attraction towards this girl, though...she sings with an angel's voice, can dance, has personality and the sharpest wit I've ever had the pleasure of clashing with. I won't be taking any action regarding that, however, as I would be raw at myself for fucking this friendship up a second time. The mere fact that she holds no grudge against me after my actions in the past speaks volumes of how I should value and respect her.

I bow to thee, nut-in-cheek rodent....

Added to the list of "phrases I didn't prior expect to find in S&A." Mad props...

Love the post title, too. Congratulations on hooking back up with your rodent-fellating homegirl... sounds tight! (errr... not like that...)

crunch-chew-crunch amen INDEED.
