MF

There are some people in the world who you are really good friends with, but you can't seem to find anything to talk about ever.  MF is not one of those people.

We met during the middle school play that we were in together during my 7th grade year, her 6th grade year.  There was no grand story of meeting, as there really isn't for most people.  We talked, had a good time both that year and the year after during Sound of Music.  

A year off, and then we're back in the high school show together for the past three years.  And more memories are shared with that.  It's such a nice thing, to have something in common that you can talk about with someone.  Add the past two years of PAC to that, and it almost becomes inevitable that we would become friends, even if not the greatest of friends.

Though I would call us pretty good friends.  Granted, she seems to be one of those people who can jump into almost any conversation naturally with almost anyone, and manage to fit right in.  I'm not calling her a chatterbox, for the conversations are always very civil and polite.    You can always seem to have a good conversation with MF.

Just today, we were talking about a lot of things, from the Olympics, to what shouldn't be on TV, to a lot of other things I can't remember.  We have good conversations. She said to me once, "I really like talking to you."  I really like talking to her too.  It always is an uplifting thing that I look forward to, even if it doesn't happen that often.

I can only hope that these continue.  At times, I wonder how many people I'm actually going to be leaving behind when I got to college.  She is definitely someone I'll miss.
