I've noticed damn... I haven't really written about anything of any substance lately. Now I don't know if this is just a lag in my creativity or a lag in my life.
This weekend I went to Fresno for a youth convention. I think this was the 15th consecutive one I have been to. It went pretty well. Saturday night was my 5 year reunion from my year as a state officer. I think we had about 40 of us show up and out of 54 that's pretty damn good after 5 years. That night a bunch of us went dancing. I can't remember the last time I was just smiling from ear to ear. I looked around and saw the girls that I shared something so special with all around me. They shared the same laughs and the same tears. I sometimes don't think I come off as an emotional sap, but I know I totally am. I can't even explain it. But you know, as Jamie Dawg once told me... life isn't about stated meeting dinners and puffy painted jackets.
The rest of GA sorta was a lag until Jeannine showed up. (there's a good story from GA last year if you are interested, April 16th). She had to tell her general manager she got the shits to leave work, but she got to Fresno, even though it wasn't in a bus! I swear, I didn't think I could be so gullible. Anyway, our new little Service has a really good vibe and I am excited for her. She even lives in Rohnert Park, which is where Sonoma State is... after not being up there for about two years we talked about how the place has changed. I so need to go up and visit, by next year I might not know anyone left at the school I went to school with.
I keep talking to people and saying that it's been way too long. I feel like I'm slowly losing everyone around me. Question is, am I really losing them or are we just moving on. Don't answer that, it's really a rhetorical question. I'm just rambling on and on. I still haven't gotten out this feeling that I'm feeling, but then again, I don't really know how I'm feeling.
