Best friend forever?

1) I can count the number of times I've seen my dad since my parents split on one hand.

2) I'd rather have my mom's ex-boyfriend give me away when I get married. He was there for me even though I hated him as a kid; my dad wasn't. He also came to my high school graduation; my dad didn't even call.

3) I think I'm finally over my best friend who I met over the internet almost 11 years ago. Except, I was out with a friend a few months ago and met someone who looked like a chubbier version of my best friend and had the same name. Hours later and a lot more alcohol and I was bawling about my best friend. When I'm not drunk, I don't tend to think about him or miss him anymore (finally!). But at the same time, I don't know if I'll ever be totally over him. He's everything I would want in a man.

4) When I finally met up with my friend in person for the first time (8 years later), it was like meeting an old friend not meeting someone for the first time. It was so comfortable being with him.

5) I found some old stories I was working on years ago while trying to clear out my room a few weeks ago. I haven't told anyone this, but I've started to edit and try to finish them. They might not be total crap now that I've gotten better at writing thanks to university.
