Rambling

We got a letter from Megan today. It's so strange to think about her being so far away, as if it's just me imagining things again. Nicholynn at school in Pasadena? Heck, yea. But Megan in New Mexico, thinking about going back to school? I remember her playing school with me, but never being in school. It seems so wrong, and at the same time it seems just... right.

It's weird. Courtney's old enough to get married? She's living with her fiance in Pittsburgh? It seems like just days ago that we were just kids, having sleepovers and later on, going shopping together. Wow.

And I'm sixteen. I can get my driver's permit as soon as Dad takes me. In two years I will graduate from high school and leave everything I've ever known groveling in my dust as I flee to the big, beautiful, scary world of New York City. How is that possible? Two years and I will be an adult. I can vote, give blood, get married if I find someone!

That doesn't seem possible..... None of this does.....
