Best Friends

I remember when I was younger. The only two people i hung out with were Brook and Devin. Those were good times. We mostly hung out in brooke's backyard on her trampoline. I'm surprised I never broke anything once by playing on that ha ha. I remember my hair used to get really staticky and stand up in the air, sometimes we would rub our hair on the trampoline on purpose to get this effect, it was awesome! I remember I got shocked a lot because of all the static the trampoline produced, mostly by the trampoline itself when I touched my hands to the metal springs. I didn't mind it after a while, you sort of get used to it. Some of my best memories were with Devin and Brooke. 

We used to play video games together, and play various games together, it was a lot of fun. I don't think I would have picked any other 2 people to be my friends as a child. 

We also used to play on this weird thing called "The Twirley bird" in brooke's backyard. It still baffles me until today that I never killed myself on that thing. the whole point of it was to make it go as fast as you could around in a circle, at least that's what I got out of it. only 4 people could fit on it, it was crazy. (and noisy, squeaked a lot). 

this one time we made plans to clean out this really weedy place on the side of brooke's house. That place was a mess, weeds, and grass and various things all over it, and so many bugs, we got scared out of our wits a couple of times by some particularly nasty ones, we were going to make it our club house, it was a cool place, despite all the weeds. I don't recall if we ever finished it. 

Sometimes we would hang out with some of brooke's siblings, or her friends, or other people that just lived in the neighborhood. I remember I was really possessive about my friends and always felt like my space was invaded when something came in between me, Brooke, and Devin. I still have a little problem with that sometimes actually with other friends. I don't think i'll ever get over that. 

There was this one time when we were playing in the backyard with a couple of the neighbor kids when this big dog (hyper dog) wandered into our backyard and scared the wits out of me, and all of us. That was SO scary. We had trouble getting it out, and they had trouble getting me out of the tree in brooke's backyard ha ha. I still remember that incident very clearly. Broooke scared the heck out of us when she went into the front yard and pretended to be bitten by the dog. We were all freaking out. We laughed about it later, all the business with the dog and all. I climbed up a tree and wouldn't come down until my (future) best friend Amanda finally talked me into it. (back then Amanda and I didn't really like each other.)

Devin and I sort of drifted apart and brooke moved somewhere else, not to far away but we never hung out after that. I'm still happy with all the time we spent together though. I still talk to brooke on facebook. I don't really talk to Devin though, we're just in 2 different worlds now. 

I think that's all I'm going to say for now. :)
