You're welcome for the pimpage. I didn't know if you would think it was cool or if you'd be all "Jeeze, girl, stop stalking me just because we work for the same company!" ;)
I know what you mean about people being in different phases of life. I've never understand how changes like that can destroy or end friendships, because to me friendships are always these dynamic creations that continue to grow and change if you put the work into them. Many of my friends have changed over the years and we continue to be close because we make an effort to adapt to each other's changing circumstances. But some people aren't like that... something happens and they decide that they can only be friends with similar people and hey, that sucks.
I think right now I'm just the whiny, lonely girl whose dad died a couple of months ago and really would have just been totally tickled if someone had called every once in a while to say, "Hey, I haven't heard from you and I hope you're doing okay with everything," you know? And that probably makes me kind of a bitch, or maybe someone with unrealistic expectations, but I'd like to think I would do the same for a friend. Who knows?
I wonder, too, if age plays a part in how things go. Granted, age and responsibility often mean that people can't be as spontaneous as they used to be, but I think you can still have some spontaneity if you leave yourself open to it. I'm the master of last minute plans. E-mail me anytime you get desperate - although phone is probably better since I don't check e-mail at all during work hours most days.
