This weekend was like watching Big Fish, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Little Mermaid, Waynes World and The Breakfast Club all at the same time. It was filled with worlds of the past, present and the future. I guess that's the effect that Weddings have on me. At the time it was a barefoot blast with Love Shack blaring in the background, polish dancers, and faces from the cafeteria that have formed new grooves. Mouths that have replaced flamin' hot cheetos with lobster bisque. And feet that have long since ditched chuck taylor's for Liz Claiborne's. Eyes that look far beyond the horizon, and ears that listen to a whole new tune. And I am one of them. We've all grown up but we haven't grown apart, and I think that's beautiful. I can still throw D into a laughing fit and she can still pull me out of a slump with barely any effort. Cassidy, her husband, is so lucky to have found a girl like her. I always wished I could be more like D. It was a magical moment to see my best friend, my smoking accomplice, my band mate, my midnight coffee cruiser, my partner in crime, walk down the aisle. I nearly lost it, but the trumpet intro to the bridal number threw me into a giggle fit. It really painted an accurate picture of what the day was about. Not to be taken so seriously that it brings tears to one's eyes, but to be looked at as a grin from ear to ear. A beginning. Not an end. D will be back living down the street from me in a few blinks of an eye.. Since now a days time flies. I don't have time to walk around listening to my walkman, not much time to think about what mistakes I've made. When you grow up there's only time to look into the future. No time to sit in my living room and drink a glass of chocolate milk and play jeopardy naked at 3am. I live with Eddie now, and I have to make sure the time we spend together is top notch. I find it increasingly hard to write about my life now. It's just that I'm so over what has happened during the day, I'm more so looking forward to new things than I am excited to document what's already occurred.
