friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
For You, Gideon
Dear Gideon, (can I still call you Giddy?) I was never good at letters, but if anyone would know that it would be you. My fingers are frozen cold, I don’t know how to make a fire, and yet I’ve still managed to write a dozen drafts of this. My cat (yes, I got a cat…thought you’d find it funny) is currently hurling herself around in them. Should I just jump in as well and ditch this whole thing? I still don’t know where to start.

The Red Brick Road
The rest of the day went by quickly. I ended up just hiding out in the computer lab for lunch, because I didn’t want to run into Justin in the cafeteria. I also didn’t want to sit with Eliza and Jen, because I knew Jen was still crying over that dude she went out with, and I knew that Eliza would just get on my nerves the entire time. Her constant coddling, and mother like nonsense when it came to Jen. Everything else afterwards was a blur.

She looked around. Brandy was a big, happy, golden retriever and everyone in the neighborhood loved him. Her brother Billy also took turns taking the dog for his daily walks around the block, or to the dog park, and on the weekend through the woods behind their house.

A Design Hero
This is a story of a long term friendship, the result of a completely random interaction of humans. I love America. I travel there on holidays from Australia each year. America has a bright future, and I love how full of diversity it is. Every trip to America is different to the last one even though sometimes I do the same things. Las Vegas is one place I enjoy. I have met so many excellent people there over the years, many who have become lifelong friends. During one of my visits I was sitting up late in a casino coffee shop, using the free internet with my young son. Right near us was one other person, and he was also using the free internet like us. On this occasion, the young man approached my son and I and asked if we would mind his computer while he went to the restroom. “ Of course”, I said, “take your time, we will be here a while”.

The Arena was totally mobbed with Apple Gangers fans screaming and yelling even though the group had not yet put in an appearance. As usual the concert started with another group. This was to warm up the audience and get them hyped to see the stars of the show when the Gangers finally took the stage. It was totally unnecessary because the crowd was already in high spirits anticipating a great show.

I'm Counting On It
Rebecca sat on the top porch step of the cabin, gazing out at the light illuminating the peak of the Tetons. Her mood in no way matched the serenity of the setting. She checked the time on her phone for what felt like the seventeenth time and called out impatiently,

Birthday Girl
Lynette sat in the back of the classroom wishing that it was anyone else’s birthday except Larissa’s, but of course wishes don’t come true and it WAS Larissa’s. Larissa was the most popular girl in her grade and she always made everyone know it too. The rumor that was going around her school at the moment was who and who wasn’t invited to her party which every year was the biggest in the town.
