This will have to do...

There are many reasons I have a love/hate relationship with facebook but recently my biggest pet peeve is located on the right hand side. Pictures of friends you haven't contacted recently will pop up and below them a little blurb: "say hi." or "share the latest news". A good idea, maybe, however for the last 2 months the only 2 people to appear have been Lindsay and Bernie.

I feel like writing facebook a bitter letter...

but I'd rather write to Linds and B....

Nucca -

I am coaching senior boys basketball. Stop laughing. It reminds me of our grade 10 gym class - the one with Leone, Rosie and Cams - we were on the same team and I would smack talk beause you are so much taller than me, but I felt my voice would make up where my height lacked. We kept laughing and you would wave your arms like a bad dance move to distract me. Ms. Fair told us to stop goofing around, and we giggled. I think about you often when I'm teaching, especially when these two girls in my class won't stop talking or texting. I still have notes we passed each other from grade 11 or 12 English, something about a party one of us was having and needing "bouncers". I was telling my grade 12's the tradition from BA with our dress shirts - they have golf shirts only by the way. I remember when you wrote on my shirt, it was just after you were all signed up for X and still trying to convince me to go. I called you a traitor since I was still set on Laurier.

My phone erases messages after 90 days, and just recently your last text messages were gone...your contact is still there.

I miss you. You still keep me strong, and thankful.

B-

24 is ridiculous right now and Chloe is still just as awkward. You would love Renee - she is trying to get herself killed - but in Jack Bauer type way. I am sure you would hate Hastings though. I have to skip over so many songs on my ipod now. There, are you happy - my playlists are uneven. You would hate that too. "You should just be able to press play!" Lewis Black was on tv the other night talking about being Jewish (what else) and I wish you could have heard it. I am sure you would smirk at facebook reminding me to "say hi". I wish we did go for Thai food that night. Gin Blossoms always seem to play on satellite radio - every time they do, I tell Dave that they are your favourite. He never tells me that I have already said that. For some reason that comforts me, as if this "new" piece of information makes you still here. I found out where back bartender is now working - you are right, he is still going no where - and I am glad I listened to you al those years ago. I hope you will still give me advice. I will still come to you for it.

I hope they have some crystal light in heaven, and western omlettes.

hugs.
