In high school I met Hockey Girl. We were always together, everyone knew us. I can't remember how we became friends, but somehow we always ended up smoking together every break. I didn't even smoke that much before that.. We were thick as thieves and it was odd we weren't together somewhere. She knew so much about me and I also knew so much about her.
We have had our fights, but I believe we have grown up enough to get over them. We didn't talk for long time after high school. There was many reasons for that, but I always knew out friendship isn't over. I was right. We are getting closer again.
Hockey Girl likes hockey (you might figured that out from her name), she doesn't play it but loves to watch. She one of the biggest hockey fan I have ever known. I have never liked hockey, but when we had "Show your color"-day in high school, we both dressed up as hockey players. Show you color-day was originally traffic light-day, when everyone should wear red if they are taken, yellow if there's something going on but nothing serious and green if you are single. But we modified it and in our high school the idea was show what you like. It was so awesome!
We use to party a lot together and it seems we are starting to do that again. She engaged now, but it doesn't seem to slow her down. Her fiance (damn, it's still strange to use that word..) loves to party too, so it's not a surprise that they keep partying even if they are together. They are good example that you don't have to change who you are if you are dating. You can still party, you can still drink. You don't have to change your behavior. It's so nice to see that happen.
I also got another close friend from high school. Joker.
He was part of our student council and that's the place we met. We spent two years (maybe 3?) planning different parties together, we had many meetings and it was just awesome. Joker is kinda weird person, he's really intelligent, but that costs him many problems. He thinks too much. He can't just let go. Damn, I hate arguing with him, because he always have answer to everything. He has taught everything through, calculated every possibility and it's fucking annoying. He lives so differently compered to me. I live more with heart, he lives with brain.
During high school I helped him, I listened him quite much. We talked really much and well, it was kinda shame that after high school we slowly talked less and less. I'm not sure why. It just happened. Maybe it was because army. But now we are back. And we are better friends than ever before. Joker has started to drink and it makes seeing him so much easier. I can actually ask him to join me and go to party. (Not that partying requires drinking, but he didn't party back then)
It's kinda weird how fun we have together. I never thought he could end up being so funny. I never thought we would end up drinking together. I'm leading him to the dark side. He seems to be "mister nice guy", but he got balls if needed. He just doesn't realize that yet..
Hockey Girl and Joker are my close friends from high school. I think they are the only thing I miss from high school (okay, maybe student council too). It was so much easier to be friends, because you saw each other everyday, it was so natural to spent time together. Now it takes more. We are doing different things and it took a while to realize that I really have to keep in touch with them, if I want to have them as my friends.
Love,
