worlds away. And then at the end it all sort of fell apart - my roommate's gf was jealous that he was living with females and wanted to break up our little group, so she started pressuring him to move out and at the same time IMing my bff's gf and making her paranoid about the time we were spending together. He ended up moving back home before the last semester of school and we just fell out of contact. I still think about him from time to time, but I don't have any way to get in touch. He's not on FB (his gf - now wife - is though, but that just doesn't feel right). I get what you mean though - it's strange that someone you once knew so well now has this life - marriage, kids, etc - that you now know nothing about. Leaving you to wonder if he thinks of you and the good ol' days from time to time too. So, so good.

Thanks for sharing your writing, Rachel. It inspires me every time. What can i say? That was an excellent fucking post. But for the record i don't have a Pat... nor have i ever been a Pat but ah well you know... and Band of Horses was
