The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences. |

The last time I was home to visit my family I realized that my brother (who just started high school) is not officially way cooler than me. In a year or so he'll start driving! ahhhhh! Your pictures seem to capture the transition from innocense to horror that comes with adolesence ;) posted by: Aro (reply) post date: 09.25.05 (4:45 am) ps -- boy, I really can't spell! posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.26.05 (3:34 am) It's hard not to think of time standing still in some regards- like people you haven't seen for years should look and act the same, right? But we change and grow, but might not notice as much in ourselves as we do when we see our brothers or buddies. Crazy stuff. posted by: AC (reply) post date: 10.01.05 (9:26 am) With that said... |

It had only been 8 months, at most. How much can one change in that amount of time? A lot, apparently. I think I've been through half of the states since then. Not to mention how many jobs I've had, people I've met, teeth I've gotten replaced- and those are surface things that many people know about- there have been a lot of changes on the inside, too. Imagine how much little kids change in that time! How many clothes did they outgrow, or what new things have they learned, like tripling their vocabulary, etc.? All of this got started this evening when I embarked on a normal routine: I walked to my car. I was at home, on the way out for groceries, when a pre-teen/teen caught my attention, and I knew I should know her, but there was no way it was my 'little sis' but it was. Now I don't actually have a blood sister, the closest being either 1) our dog that we grew up with and who lived to the age 18- that qualifies in my world and/or 2) my best friend Serpe, who has been there a lot and her family accepts me as their own--- so years ago, I took Jessie as my own, and we did things like paint nails and sing and have fun together. We're neighbors. We talked around Christmas last year, and possibly in April this year (my memory's horrible) and I don't know how she grew so fast! It's one thing to get taller, but that change into adolescence sure is a big change!
