Writer's Block: Celebrating Friendships

[qos]

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I've known athenian_abroad since Fall of 1981, making him not just the LJ friend I've known the longest, but my second-oldest active friendship. Our mutual friend Nick is my oldest active friend, dating back to the 1978-79 school year, when we were in the 8th grade.

There's one female friend who I've known longer, but although we're still friendly and connected on Facebook, we're not in regular personal contact.

Holy cow. I can't imagine knowing anyone that long. The longest friendship I've had, with regular contact mind you, is only about five years old. I'm an air force brat and I'm really poor about keeping contact with people.

Actually... wait. One of my lj friends I've known for... wow. Probably nine years. That's a long time, for me.
