Fashion and friends come and go, everyone travels that road...

One other thing I was thinking (maybe I'm thinking too much lately) is about friends.

Since AJ died in mid-February, I've been inundated with new friends.

First, there's Bob, Don, and Janet, the three people AJ was staying with. I've been up there three times so far, and had a blast each time. In May we're going to DC. And in September, I'll maybe be going with them to the Outer Banks.

There's my buddy Corey. I knew him before February, but I wouldn't have called him a friend. But in the last few weeks, we've hung out twice and are planning on doing it again later this week.

There's the Goddess V, Virginia. I didn't even know her prior to starting my ex-Borders employees group on Facebook. And I hadn't met her in person prior to mid-March. And then last weekend, we had an awesome evening together, and plan on having more!

And there's two guys I've been hanging out with through my buddy Ryan: Tim and Dan. What great guys. And we have such similiar interests in games, comic books, and such.

And none of these did I know well, would I have considered a friend even two months ago.

I mean, friends constantly come and go. Some become friends forever, some for years, some for just as long as you're in a situation together. And friends drift apart, or fight, or move apart, or change interests, and slowly (or quickly) end their relationship.

But apart from starting a new job, I've never become friend with so many people in such a short time. And even at a new job, you don't become best buddies with everyone right off, ya know?

Seven new GREAT friends in less than seven weeks! Man, how lucky AM I???
