i've been meeting up with a lot of old friends lately...a lot of them are here for the holiday season, and we've randomly been meeting up...i haven't seen some of them in over three years!

like joycelyn, my high school friend. we actually went to berkeley together, but hung out in different crowds, so i only saw her a couple times a semester. the last time i saw her was before graduation. i was writing my christmas cards and i realized that i had an old envelope with her address on it. so i sent her a card with my phone number and she ended up giving me a call. i hung out with her and lyn last saturday...had dessert at lyn's with roberto and the dogs. lyn has this new puppy, gia, that is so adorable! i didn't realize how puppies are so much like kids...gotta keep a constant eye on them, so they kinda distracted us, but we still had a good time catching up and also reminiscing a little bit. for some reason, it's one of those friendships where even if you haven't been in contact, when you finally meet up again, you just pick up where you left off.

then i was able to spend time with susan choo and melissa on sunday. haven't seen susan since this past summer, so it hasn't been that long, but still, a coupla things have happened since then, so there were definitely things to catch up on. and then yesterday i was invited to sonia lee's place for a potluck. luckily, i was able to corner her...we hadn't talked in a long, long time. i saw her last year at annie's new year's party, but briefly...so it's been over a year since i really knew what was going on with her. it's good to hear that she's enjoying boston, and i think that we're undergoing similar things in our lives, so it was good to share and be able to relate to each other on that level.
