Does anyone find themselves missing their childhood friends. I miss my little Joanie more and more as time passes. My dad used to talk about his friends and how much he missed them. At the time I thought it was odd but now I'm doing the same. I wonder why we do that,or am I just one of the few people that get that nostalgic? Is it about getting that unconditional love and caring? Or is it about going back or not facing death or the complexities of life or what?? I have too much time to think today.

I used to think about a few of them, but that's it. I'm still friends with some of my childhood friends. As a matter of fact, since I joined Face Book, more and more keep finding me. When I moved from Chicago and into the suburbs, I chose to distance myself from many childhood friends. After all, my life was changing and back then, I wasn't sure how receptive they'd be of me. Silly me, since coming out to them as I reconnect, I find that they could care less. Who knows what they would've really thought about it in the late 70's/early 80's.

So........ heres a little story bout last weekend, I thought it might fit in this thread. I was down at the bar just having a good time but was getting ready to split when this cute girl comes up and asks me to dance, she was prolly 24- 25 maybe , I said I was getting ready to leave and she gives me this pouty face thing with oooo please , come on , just one ... so ..... well I had to say yeah to that ya know , so we start dancin and then her two friends come up and we all start dancing,it was cool , I think she was a little drunk but , it was just dancing ... so any ways finally after half way through the second song I told them I was leaving and They all came over to say good bye... .. Im feelin pretty studly by this time, and then the one girl says... "you are soooo cute for a woman your age........I was like My age? how old do ya think I am??? she was like ... "I dont know I mean for an older woman your pretty hot,
..............hmmmm
then the one says ... "yeah we think you are a card!!"

oh...okay.......Im an old card.....nice

here all along I thought I was all cool and shit dancin with there hotties and they were just being charitable to the geriatric community.....

I found that interesting and have the same experience. Suspect that the memories that have been in there lurking the longest sometimes leave the strongest imprint. I find myself wondering about childhood friends, casual acquaintances known for a day or two 30 years ago. It's peculiar. I think about the little butch in grade school that I used to play doctor with :-) Agree that it's a strange sense of nostalgia. They say that the truly elderly tend to relive their infancy. I find that frightening, personally.

Jude, welcome to BFP and welcome to The Loft. I hope you make lots of friends and participate in many threads. Heck, you can come to our first reunion and meet many of us in Little Rock. I'm sure some will be coming from your area.

my best friend has been my best friend since the first day of first grade. We have suffered through so much together and have lost each other and found each other and support one another and get in each other's faces when we are acting stupid. I am 53. We celebrated together when we could finally get an AARP card!

It was great to read about everyone's childhood friends. I wondered if I was getting prematurely senile and reliving the past or something like that. It's good to think back to those stress free friendships.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Getting a head cold so I am spending mine in bed as much as possible.
