As one of the other clueless 18-year-olds who plowed my way through a lot of those things with you two, this post brings me utter joy. I couldn’t have asked for better college roommates – you ladies were and still are the most amazing, humble, intelligent, kind, creative, and beautiful human beings I’ve ever known. I am so thankful for FB for bringing you back into my life “Moose.” Not a day has gone by since the summer of 2000 that I haven’t thought of you and longed for our nights of wild (well not so wild) girly decadence. I am so in awe of your amazing gifts, but so not surprised.

Here’s to hoping I’m along for the ride next time there’s a “Plimpton Pinkies” reunion. God how I miss the fried zucchini…oh…and the meatloaf too

Love you!

Gawd…

Moose, it’s strange that you wrote this in the week that I was out of town and not reading your posts. Well, not really strange but perfect.

I was visiting my college friend after 4 years (since her wedding) and found that time is meaningless. She and I get one another no matter what…such relief on my part.

What was strange was the amount of envy I had for her amazing relationship with her husband…

someday…I hope.

Madam Moose, I also hope you are feeling better!

This makes me really sad about the disaster that is my college best friend.

I am lucky enough to have my very best college friend here in Portland with me, as the college campus we shared is about an hour south of the city. She is the Hans to my Frans and I love her for that, and for always accepting me where I am, without question. I have very few friends like her but the quality far surpassing the quantity is always fine by me.

By the way, just so you know, I intend to be still sending you random cards adorned with ridiculously bad handwriting and heckling you over our productivity spreadsheets ten years from now.

You made me miss my old friends. I wish they were closer by, I really do.

Also, when you were describing going off to college in Manhattan at the age of eighteen, I thought “Oh my god, she’s Felicity!”

I LOVE THIS POST. One of the bummers of moving to the West Coast is that I have exactly 0 old friends in the city. They’re all out east, doing Jell-o shots without me.

Sniff, sniff.

I am not at all worried about you finding a man. You’re a keeper.

Ah, A Prairie Home Companion. I don’t know a single other person my age who knows about that program, not to mention enjoys it.(Do you like it? I am making assumptions.) I love Garrison Keillor. Bonus link in case you don’t read his column: http://dir.salon.com/topics/garrison_keillor/. (And now I REALLY am making assumptions.)

I agree. There is nothing better than old friends who understand!
