leafOh my gosh, it's so good to see you. What've you been up to?
leafWow, it has been such a long time. How have you been?
hideF-
leafHmm... well here we are. Sure has been a while... um... Have you been doing well?
leafWell I guess no one ever leaves this town, huh?
hide1M
hideM+
leafI can't believe this. You and me, here, after all these years. How've you been?
hideM-
leafWow, it's, uh, been a while. Have you been doing alright?
hide2
hideM+
leafI'm absolutely wonderful. Work's good, life's good, I'm here with you... Nothing could be better. How about yourself?
leafOh, I've been doing pretty good. My job's going well and life is definitely looking up. Yourself?
hideM-
leafEverything's been really looking down actually. College was a waste. It's hard ya know? Anyway, how about you, how've you been?
leafWell, life's life. Eventually you get used to disappointment. How about you?
hide3
hideF+
leafWell I've had some hard times, but that's all behind me now and things are really looking up.
leafI've been doing very well. I lost my husband a few years back, but I've finally recovered and have really been feeling better about life lately.
hideF-
leafI've never felt so alone as of late. The house is empty. The sun never shines. It's just been really hard. I'm sorry to vent. I am really happy to see you.
leafI'm mostly a ghost these days, floating through life. My husband passed away a few years ago and it's like I never get a break now.
hide4-F
hideM+
leafI'm sorry to hear that you've not been doing so well. Hey, from now on I"m here for you if you need someone. No matter what.
leafLife can definitely be rough. At least you have me as a friend, and that you can always count on.
hideM-
leafI know what you mean, though. Everything is such a waste of time.
leafYep. Life sucks and then you die.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafWell that is just extraordinary. It makes me happy to know that you're getting along alright. I see the stress hasn't affected your beauty at all.
leafThat's awesome. I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well. You know you look absolutely gorgeous. I don't think you've aged a day since I last saw you.
hideM-
leafWell your problems must not have taken too much out of you. I mean you're here and not crying or anything.
leafSee, I always thought it would take a much longer time to get over a dead husband.
hide5-M
hide+F
leafI suppose so.
hide-F
leafWell you sure know how to lift spirits. Sheesh.
hide5+M
hide+F
leafThank you so much. You have no idea what it means to hear you say that.
hide-F
leafI guess a little flattery never hurts. Thank you, I suppose.

leafOh, do you remember that time when we went camping on lake Sonoho?
leafThat reminds me again of lake Sonoho.
leafSee that reminds me of our camping trip at lake Sonoho, again.
hide-F
leafLet's talk about something a little more happy. Do you remember when we went camping on lake Sonoho?
leafHmm... that reminds me of lake Sonoho, again.
leafOnce again, that reminds me of lake Sonoho.
hide+F
leafI'm in such a good mood. It reminds me of the time we went camping on lake Sonoho. Do you remember that?
leafOh my gosh, that completely reminds me again of lake Sonoho!
leafFor some reason that makes me remember all the good times we had camping at lake Sonoho.
hideFirst MeetingInternal Link
hide1F
hideF+
leafThat was such an awesome trip. I think that was the first time we ever met each other. It was like we were drawn to each other.
leafI remember that trip like it was yesterday. Wasn't that the first time we'd ever met each other? I remember we were practically inseparable during that entire trip.
hideF-
leafThat was a good trip. A lot of good things happened on that trip. One of the few really happy moments I can remember. That was the trip where we first met each other and hung out the entire summer.
leafSuch good memories from that trip. I really wish life had more times like those. I really miss that trip, so many good things happened. We met for the first time, became inseparable, and had an amazing summer.
hide1M
hideM+
leafHow could I forget a trip like that? I remember us meeting on what? The first day? That was the first time we'd ever met wasn't it? That was so great, and then we were together the whole summer.
hideM-
leafYeah that was a pretty good trip. It's where I met you, so that's cool. I guess this conversation would be confusing or impossible without that trip.
hide2
hideM+
leafThat trip was so great. If I hadn't got the cabins confused and ended up asleep in your bed, we never would've met. I'm glad I was confused even if I did get in a little trouble, meeting you was definitely worth it.
leafI really loved that trip. We met because I mixed up the boys and girls cabins and ended up in your bed because it was in the same location as mine in the other cabin. We scared each other nearly to death when you returned to find a boy in your bed. Crazy how coincidence puts people together.
hideM-
leafIt was a fun enough trip. It really sucked when your ex-boyfriend at the time started making fun of me for hanging out with you though. All the other kids called me names and played some pretty cruel practical jokes. Eh, that's what happens when you're young and camping though, I suppose.
leafYeah it was pretty alright for a trip. I hated the hiking and outdoors stuff though. I remember getting poison Ivy and being itchy like half of the trip. It all worked out in the end though.
hide3
hideF+
leafMy favorite part of the trip was meeting you, by far. Something about you, maybe your eyes, I just knew I could trust you.
leafMeeting you really made the trip. I was so worried I would be all alone and have no friends there. But there you came along, accidental as it may have been, but you came and there was just something amazing about you.
hideF-
leafThat was an overall awesome trip. There were definitely some very lame and mean girls there, but that's the way it seems to go.
leafWell, I'm glad we met there. Without meeting you I couldn't have had all those other great times on that trip. If I'd been left with those mean, bullying girls in my cabin, I probably would've left with a broken nose.
hide4-F
hideM+
leafI hated having to deal with bullies on that trip. I think each of us having each other helped so much, though, because we were able to pull together and take on anything as a team.
leafYeah I remember having to deal with stupid bullies too. I was so glad I had you. You made me so much stronger.
hideM-
leafThose bullies could be so very mean. I had my own share of troubles there, I dunno if you remember. Hanging out with you was my only real escape from the mean kids.
leafI know. Sometimes it was like torture what some of the bullies put you and I through. I remember being picked on every time I was in my own cabin. It was probably what pushed me to hanging out with you. You wouldn't bully me.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafI think we both knew that we would make a good couple, or team... we were just inseperable. We totally complimented each other in every way.
leafThat's really sweet of you. You, of course, were truly amazing. I'll never forget how we spent every day, morning and night, together. We, together, were unbeatable and inseperable.
hideM-
leafYeah I don't really remember what made us such a pair. I just know we hung out a lot. I think it was cool.
leafYeah, you were... great. Yeah I mean we ended up hanging out all the time, so you must've been pretty cool.
hide5-M
hide+F
leafAt least we had each other. If it wasn't for you that trip would've been extremely horrible. Thanks for going.
hide-F
leafThere were some definitely horrid parts of that trip. But nothing any of us couldn't grow out of I guess. Overall, good trip, some bad, but good. I'm glad we met there.
hide5+M
hide+F
leafI'll never forget how amazing it was to have someone to count on through anything. Together I felt like we had no bounds that trip. Without you, I dunno, how things would've turned out. You really made that trip for me.
hide-F
leafHaving someone else was definitely a good thing. I was such a lonely child, just like now. Everything's so lonely. Having you for that short period helped me forget not usually having anyone. I wish I could bring back that trip and just stay there.
hideFirst Kiss
hide1F
hideF+
leafThat trip! Just the sound of Sonoho gives me such a warm feeling inside. Do you remember our first kiss?
leafI absolutely loved that trip! Wasn't that where you got your first kiss? Or should I say "our" first kiss?
hideF-
leafIt's almost depressing thinking about that trip. It was such a good time. Compared to life now, that was such a blissful period. Wasn't that also the first time we ever kissed each other?
leafOh, it makes me sad that I couldn't stay on that trip forever. That was such a high point of life. On that trip was the first time we kissed right?
hide1M
hideM+
leafCamp Sonoho was an unforgettable trip. I remember us even sharing a first kiss on that trip, do you remember that?
hideM-
leafCamp Sonoho was pretty sweet. Didn't we kiss on that trip at some point or something?
hide2
hideM+
leafWe did kiss on that trip. I think it was both of our first times. You were so sweet and beautiful. I remember we had sneaked away to the edge of the lake and were standing their under the moonlight just talking for hours. And then something just clicked and before either of us really knew it our lips were touching and of course things followed from there.
leafThat was the trip that we kissed on. I remember being so nervous and just chills flowing through my body while our lips locked together. That was such an amazing night.
hideM-
leafWow, you have a pretty good memory. I'd practically forgotten about that. Crazy.
leafYeah I think we did kiss on that trip, it's hard to exactly remember.
hide3
hideF+
leafThat first kiss had to be the best kiss ever. Just the feeling of newness, never really kissing before combined with that strong feeling of puppy love, for lack of a better word. It was just awesome, unforgettable.
leafThat kiss was definitely amazing. I remember having chills all over my body and just feeling so whole and complete when we kissed.
hideF-
leafKissing for the first time was really neat, hard to forget, generally. I just wish I had more moments like that to remember.
leafI do remember that kiss, it was very sweet. If only life could have more of those sweet moments.
hide4-F
hideM+
leafJust stay strong sweetheart. Things will get better. If you're at the bottom the only way left to go is towards the top. I'll be here if you ever need someone to help you climb up.
leafI'm sure life has given you many great moments to hold on to. You're such a beautiful, smart, and funny girl, I don't see how life could've passed up good moments for you.
hideM-
leafIsn't it funny that it works that way? You have these amazing moments at such rare occasions, but then you just get thrown loads of crap the rest of the time. I guess that's life.
leafYeah, beautiful moments like that only happen once in a lifetime. I guess that's the way it goes. Life throws you beautiful things so you can later be filled with regrets.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafA kiss like that is one in a million. Hell, sharing such a beautiful beach with such a beautiful person is something that only happens once in a lifetime. I'm so glad I was able to share it with you.
leafI know. That first kiss was awe-inspiring. All the feelings we shared there at the lake were unforgettable. I hope I get a chance to share some more beautiful moments with you, now that you're back around.
hideM-
leafI liked kissing on the beach, but it's done and over now. It was a great instance in my life that stands out amongst the rest of the crap, but that's it; it just stands out. The majority of life is the other drubbery. I hate it so much.
leafYeah, but that moment was just one moment in an expanse of terrible moments. The pains of heartache, the trouble of having to work. We have these few great moments that in no real way cloud out the rest of the crap handed to us by life.
hide5-M
hide+F
leafYou know, sometimes life can get us down, but we have to look past our troubles and remember that we're human beings. Social beings and somebody out there will love us and be there for us. I mean look, you have me no matter what. I'm always here for you. And at least know that Sonoho was something to be remembered and a shining moment for me as well.
hide-F
leafI agree. Life is so very drab. I wish they told us as kids that the best moments of your life would happen before you turned 21 because that would've really helped. I dunno, I like remembering Sonoho, if only because we can't bring it back.
hide5+M
hide+F
leafI appreciate your being here. It feels so good to have someone to connect with after all this time. Camp Sonoho was amazing and it was all because of you. Thank you so much.
hide-F
leafHaving someone else here for me isn't such a bad thing, I just hope you're not expecting more than friendship because it's really been a long time for me. Eh, anyway, I like talking to you about our camping trip, that was a good trip.
hideGot Caught (sneeking into each other's cabin)Internal Link
hide1F
hideF+
leafSonoho, I could talk about it all day. Do you remember how we used to sneak into each other's cabins just to see each other? Even though we definitely got caught at least half the time for it.
leafSonoho was a lot of fun. Oh do you remember how many times we got caught for sneaking into each other's cabins?
hideF-
leafI wish Sonoho had never ended, too bad it did and life had to go on... Hey do you remember how we used to sneak into each other's cabins?
leafSonoho. That's all you really have to say. I remember that we used to sneak into each other's cabins to hang out. God, the memories of that place.
hide1M
hideM+
leafSonoho was great. Do you remember sneaking into each other's cabins, so that we could see each other?
hideM-
leafYeah, Sonoho was fun, too bad it ended so quickly. I still remember trying to sneak into your cabin to see you.
hide2
hideM+
leafI loved sneaking to your cabin in the pitch black of night, avoiding the "guards" and their flashlights of doom. The excitement was overwhelming.
leafTrying to get to each other in the middle of the night was so much fun. Having to work to avoid the camp drones and all. Great times.
hideM-
leafHa. Sneaking into the old cabins. It was such an old trick, if trick's the proper word. I dunno, dumb, but fun.
leafI think I remember sneaking into cabins. Fun, but childish of course.
hide3
hideF+
leafSneaking to your cabin, had to be the most dangerous part of my life. It was so tricky and sneaky, I loved it. Do you remember when Mr. Waters, the camp leader, caught us?
leafYeah, I loved memorizing all the sidepaths and what not to your cabin. I got to where I could walk it basically with my eyes closed. About the only way you could do it at night anyway. Do you remember the time we got caught by the camp leader?
hideF-
leafI was really, really sad when they threatened to kick us out because we wouldn't stay separated. God, it's so like life to completely stifle the funnest moments for the sake of rules and regulations.
leafIt sucked that we had to stop because we almost got kicked out for going to see each other. That shows so clearly how life and its stupid social rules restrain the most valuable and funnest parts of life.
hide4-F
hideM+
leafThat was so much crap, them threatening to send us home just for hanging out after lights out. I can kind of understand now, as a Father and all, though. I mean I'm sure they were just trying to prevent any unwanted circumstances on their watch. Like pregnancy or something. Not that we would've... but yeah. At least we had some good times.
leafOh I was so angry. Mr. Waters happened to catch us together and then they were threatening parents and everything. The worst part was that we had only been talking too, eh ridiculous. It was really fun while it lasted though.
hideM-
leafI was so angry. And it's true we had such a great time, then life steps in and is like, no, that's wrong. Ridiculous!
leafOh I know. We were having such a good time, then it all gets wisked away. It's complete crap. It really is.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafThat was the scariest moment ever. Mr. Waters just appeared out of nowhere and then, wham! He caught us both by the collar and took us to his office. Thank god we didn't get sent home.
leafRemember? How could I forget. Walking to his office was like marching to a firing squad. It's kind of lucky that we were able to stay, considering how many offenses we had against us. In retrospect, it's amazing we both didn't get sent home right then. I'm really glad we didn't.
hideM-
leafThat was the worst thing that could've happened! After that we couldn't stay up talking till the wee hours of the morning. That's so the way of things. Something good seems to be working out fine, then WHAM a Mac truck hits you and everything has to change.
leafThat was so very scary. His catching us was like a nightmare. It almost ruined the whole trip too. Just like life to take something so fun away. After that we couldn't ever sneak and hang out at night.
hide5-M
hideF+
leafThere are some unavoidable things, though. I mean they were probably just trying to prevent you from getting me pregnant. Not that we would've done anything to get me pregnant. You know what I mean. Just don't let life get you down. Crap happens, then you move on and get stronger. At least we had the moments we had, ya know?
hideF-
leafLife can be a bitch, can't it. I guess we should cherish our moments there at the camp. It was a really fun time, at least we have that to look at against all the other crap of life.
hide5+M
hide+F
leafYeah. I enjoyed it all myself. Even the risky sneaking and all. It was really great. Such good memories.
hide-F
leafI had so many fun times on that trip. It's sad that that trip is just a memory now. We had so much fun.

leafThat really reminds me of marriage.

leafI really hate talking about marriage, but we should, don't you think?
leafWell I guess we could talk about marriage.

leafThat makes me want to talk about marriage.
leafWanna talk about marriage?
hideTrue Love?
hide1F
hideF+
leafI really felt that with marriage I found true love. Did you feel like it was true love with your wife?
leafThe man I was married to I really loved completely. I really feel like he was my sould mate. How was your wife?
hideF-
leafI was so in love in my marriage. The way it ended is almost unbearable still. Did you find true love with your wedding?
leafI was so happy in our marriage, it's just painful to think of how it ended. You start with your marriage. Was it true love?
hide1M
hideM+
leafThe thing about marriage is that it isn't what I expected. I thought that I would find true love, but I definitely did not. I instead was treated like crap, then she took everything. Did you find true love with your wedding?
hideM-
leafMarriage for me was complete crap. I ended up with a woman who cared only about her self. I bet you found true love didn't you?
hide2
hideM+
leafI didn't really enjoy marriage. She ended up taking me for a fool, basically. But I'm getting stronger everyday. Being here with you really helps. Did you find true love with your wedding?
leafMarriage wasn't horrible. My wife and I just really weren't compatible. She was such a user and I was a sucker. That pretty much sums mine up. I was always hoping for true love, but never found it. Did your luck turn out any better than mine?
hideM-
leafI don't really wanna talk about marriage. It's gonna be such a downer for me. I mean mine was short and pointless, except for the kids. And she ended up with custody so I hardly get to see them anymore. It was horrible. Did you fair better?
leafMarriage was complete shit for me. I came in expecting true love and I ended up with divorce. It was one of the most miserable times of my life. How was it for you?
hide3
hideF+
leafMarriage was amazing. I had the perfect man. We were both so very in love with each other. Then, the May before last, he was killed in a car wreck. I had forgotten to eat lunch with him that day, and I never got to speak with him again. I've had such a hard time.
leafI found the perfect husband for marriage. Everything was nothing short of perfect everyday. It was definitely true and pure love. But that fact is what makes it such a horrible subject for me. Two years ago my husband was killed in a car accident. It's been really hard.
hideF-
leafMy perfect husband was stolen away from me. Call it fate or god, whatever it is. It took the love of my life in a quick squeal of tires. I've been trying so hard to get over it, but it's so hard being alone after losing someone so important.
leafMy husband was perfect. My true love. But then he died, and it's been unbearable. His car was split in half by a Transfer truck. It's so hard to even go on after something like that.
hide4-F
hideM+
leafOh my god. That must be so rough. I am so very sorry. If there's anything I can do for you anytime, I'm here. You're not alone in your pain anymore.
leafI'm so very sorry. That must have been devastating. If you ever feel down and just can't get up. From now on you have me, here for you, whenever you need.
hideM-
leafSee you lost your husband, I lost my children, basically. I know exactly how you feel. And I hate not having anyone to talk to about this kind of stuff.
leafSee that's how I feel about losing my children to my stupid ex-wife. She's ridiculous, all she does is sit around and smoke pot. I mean I quit all that junk after college. It's not good for the kids, but she just doesn't care. Eats me alive. And the worst part is that I have no one to turn to either.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafThat must be so hard. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I mean I lost my kids in the divorce, but at least I still have visitation. To have my loved ones taken away so harshly. I'm so sorry. Well at least you have me, an old friend you can talk to at anytime, now.
leafI'm really sorry about your husband. He sounds like he was great guy. Well don't feel like you have to deal with your problems alone anymore. Any time you need some one, I'm here for you.
hideM-
leafThat reminds me of losing my kids to my whore of an ex-wife. Life is so crap. I hope I can count on you now as someone to talk to. And you can definitely count on me.
leafEh... that's just like me losing my kids. Tears me up every day. I mean I still get to see them so that's not the same, but it's pretty close ya know? At least we have each other now to talk through this sort of crap.

leafMy favorite part of being married was definitely not the marriage, but the engagement period. Everything was just so new and exciting. We had a lot of good times, my ex and I. Then we got married.
leafBeing engaged was really the best time of my marriage. Me and my ex were pretty inseparable at that point and I just had so many good times. The wedding was sweet and simple. Everything was good before the actual marriage.

leafI know that feeling. Everything was so great before marriage. And now it's just days of loneliness and emptiness.
hide4+F
hideM+
leafIt must have been really grand. It's cool to know that you definitely shared something with someone once you know? It's amazing that you've stayed so tough and strong. You're willpower is truly astounding.
leafThat's so sweet. At least you know that you found someone amazing. You know that for a moment in your life you were really, really in love. You're such an amazing girl. Staying so strong after all you've been through.
hideM-
leafI never had a good relationship like that really. Me and my ex were too caught up on partying that when it finally became time to be responsible, she never caught on. So she ended it and now i'm just here, existing, but alone.

leafI'm sorry about your ex, that really is such a bad situation. For me the end of the marriage was a good thing. The divorce proceedings definitely sucked though.
leafDeath is never a good thing. For me the end of my marriage was the best thing that could've happened, although, the divorce wasn't good at all.
hideM-
leafWhen fate decides to chime in it really chimes in doesn't it. My divorce was completely horrible, she took everything including the kids. And I was the clean one at that point. She still smokes pot and drinks probably every night. I worry so much for my kids.
leafYeah, marriage ending lead to a rough divorce for me. I hate the way life hits so hard when it hits.

leafI can imagine how hard divorce must've been. Not only do you lose your wife, but your kids. It must be horribly lonely. My husband's death really set me back in a hard way, so I know how lonely it can get. I am becoming a much stronger person now though.
leafDivorce must have been really hard. I know the loneliness you must feel. After my husband's car crash, it's been just insane. Everything is so empty. I'm getting stronger though.

leafThat's so cool. I really think companionship is such a very necessary thing in life. It's hard when you don't have anyone, and nothing makes up for lonely times like a good friend.
leafHaving a good friend around is the best way to get through hard times. That's so cool you found someone to share the times with.
hideM-
leafI personally think being more social and experimental is a good thing in college, so you may have missed out there. At least you had a friend to miss out with.

leafSchoolwork was the best part of college. It was the first time I could really reach out and explore intelligent ideas with people who were interested in the same things.
leafThe course material in college was on par with all of my expectations. College in the classroom became this fertile learning ground. Class was really the best part for me.
hideF-
leafI became a little obsessive with my schoolwork a lot of the time because I really liked the line of thinking coming from the department. I was disappointed to find my job was full of people of a different sort of mindset. But it all worked out.
leafI was so very interested in my course work, but when it finally came to working at a job I never could find something as intriguing as the concepts I encountered at school. I've thought of going back to school so often. Either to teach or learn.
hide4-F

leafYeah the transition from school to work is tough. Work is so much more specialized. It's cool that you were able to adjust to you job without giving up though. Really shows your determination.
leafSchool was really fun. Thinking on a higher level that only people of your major could understand is always a good feeling. It's cool you were able to find a similar job, however different.
hideM-
leafJobs suck and college never seems to prepare you fully for the job. I hate not having the freedom of school also.
leafSchoolwork wasn't really my favorite thing. I mean most of the time you couldn't even apply what you learn to the real world, so that's pretty useless you know.

leafThe puppy love was immature though. I don't think either of us really thought it would be serious. Or last longer than it did.
hide4-F

leafI agree. We were too young for serious. I was trying to move too fast into marriage and seriousness and at the same time retain that childish puppy love. The truth is they're incompatible. Breaking up allowed me to finally realize that.
leafI completely agree. I mean we were so young and naive in so many ways. I hated the breakup. It really hurt for years, but in the end I just grew stronger from it.
hideM-
leafOne of us didn't feel that way if you remember. I think cute, young, and sweet was fun. I mean do you ever wonder if facing reality and life is why everything is always so gloomy and gritty in the real world? I'd take puppy love over the real world any day.
