A few days ago, the gang (the bloggers and a couple of friends) set out on an outing to Coney Island boardwalk and beach. The long train ride to Coney Island's trashy beach has become not only an annual journey for us but also as an indicator of the end of summer. The beach trip is like out Stand By Me, but every year and fewer leeches on dicks and more plastic bags from the dirty water around my ankle. This year especially. We are all going to our respective colleges across the Northeast and in Canada. Everyone always seems to be impressed that I managed to stay close friends with people I met in middle school. I still talk to people I met on the very first day of middle school. Maybe our close middle school (wow I'm going to say middle school many a time) has something to do with that, but I don't think that's it. There are people I haven't talked to since our graduation. There are people I haven't talked to since the 9th grade. However, here are these people that I am so lucky to have in my life, that I've known for what seems like ever. You know a friendship is real when you talk every day and never get bored. I have this with six people and we talk almost non-stop every day. I get an update of every minute of these people's lives but I still learn new things about them. Anyway, I suck at sappy stuff. The point is that I love my friends and can't see my life without them. I know we are all going to do well in college and hope we can balance the fun with the work part of it. Okay now that that's over, time for some beach pics! |
