Last weekend we took a long overdue trip to visit some friends of ours with a group of other people.  It was so awesome to see people we haven’t seen for so long.  You know the true test of friendship is how you interact once you see someone again after a long absence.  People you really wern’t all that close to, its hard to talk to them again, but good friends, the ones you know so well its painful, its like your conversations never stopped, only that there was a long pause with life stuffed in the middle.

These are the good kind of friends, and I don’t even know if I can stress how fantastic it was to see them again.

We used to see most of our friends every weekend, no fail.  We lived in various parts of the city, and near out of town, and Friday and Saturday nights were a common affair of group rockband and possibly dancing games.  Its really not funny.  I think we broke a few sets of rockband instruments mearly because we played them so often.  The nights were often heavily influenced by alcohol and rowdy conversations.  

It was joyous.  

But now everyone is getting older, some of the group have children now, and so the rip-roaring cacophony isn’t as common.  It still happens on occasion, but things are much tamer then they once were. 

I’m not really sure why I’m reflecting on this, but I suppose because its a nice thing to think about.  It was something so heavily influenced by the people who arrived, and every night was memorable in one way or another.  The venue may have been mostly the same for a large part of the time, but it was good while it lasted.

When we were at our friends place, we had much the same sort of night, but instead of rockband, it consisted of the new Kinect dance game.  Its surprisingly catchy, and defiantly intense enough to make you sweat!  I’m afraid that its become the new obsession with everyone.  There are worse things to be obsessed with I suppose ^_^

Tomorrow I want to get back into EP, I’ve sorta taken a few days off after my exam.  I’ve gotten back into working out again, and I feel so much better.  I”m really trying hard to fit everything into my days.  I have so many things that I want to do, and If I only get a little bit done of everything everyday, then I’m making progress with everything, and thats a positive thought.

I found out today that all my hard work payed off as well, I passed the 2nd of the 4 courses I have to take over the next little while.  Its a huge weight off of my shoulders knowing that I have 1 more under my belt.  I don’t have to look at the course work again until my huge final.  Thats a daunting thought, but it’ll be worth it when I’m compleatly done.
