Aram and I went to Foxy Roxys for the last time today, since he just left.  The next time I get to see him is February 9^th, at my championship swim meet.

Stuffed with so much raspberry!

Now I’m currently laying in bed sick.  When I went out to eat a few days ago with my friend, she got really sick last night.  Well now I’m really sick and we both got the same thing.  Similar symptoms?  Check.  Hmmmm strange.

Regardless, I’m going to cut this blog short and go lay in bed.  Good thing I already typed up day two of getting to know otherwise I would have failed just like last month.

Day 2: A picture of you and a few friends.

Instead of showing you a few of my “current closest” friends.  I’ll show you some photos of some of my closest friends since I moved to the US.

I was always closest with this girl. ANNA.  We have literally been friends since 6^th grade.  She thought I was a complete weirdo back then-but who didn’t.  At least she talked to me.

I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do. I want to say circa day 7th or 8th grade.

Then comes my swimming friends.  Hannah, Emily and Claire.  We swam club and high school together so you know, teammates often become your closest friends.

senior captains? oh yes.

Then we expanded to include my diving friends.  So we became a possy of about 7 friends. We could have casted some crazy tv show with all the things we did in high school.  Needless to say, I’ve settled down since college.  Shocking, I know.

I role six deep.

Then I went to college.  Hello Kierstin, my freshman roommate.  We are still extremely close.

Sophomore year was a hard year for me.  I was extremely depressed, I almost left school and I didn’t make too many friends.  I essentially stayed in my room half the year and tried to get my life on track.  (no pun here considering running helped me do that…)

And now I’m a junior and I’m still close with my swimming teammates.

and Anna. We will forever be bffs. Because she accepts I don't smile in photos.

There is always an lolcat fitting for my blog.

Question for you:

Tell me about your friends throughout your life.
