So, this week I was invited to a baby shower being held for my very oldest friend - she and I were toddlers in the same cong, went to the same school, did talks together and aux. pioneered together... After I left school and subsequently the borg, her and I kind of lost touch (although I did go to her wedding (at age 18???) ) and we have chatted on and off over the years, and seen each other once or twice since then (she came to see my kids when they were born). Fortunatly I already have commitments for the date that the party is being held, so I am releived to have an excuse for not attending, but I am also really really sad that I did not actually want to attend, mostly because I just can't deal with being in a room full of JW's and feeling their dissapproval and listening to them trying to encourage me back etc. She is not my best friend, but she is certainly the first and longest!
Geez, I don't know if what I am saying makes sense, but I just needed to get this off my chest!
