much of my social life consists of phone calls which, while ridiculous and a bit pathetic, also speaks wonders about the quality of friendships that i've formed...wonderful people with whom i'd like to maintain a significant amount of contact for a significant amount of time.

tonight featured conversations with five of my best friends in the world...four of these met through wonderful northwestern and one more from wonderful glenbrook south, as well as phone messages left for another gbs pal and another nu pal. which perhaps makes me seem lame.

but it's late, and i'm not going to get the sleep that i'd hoped for (tomorrow we've got a ridiculous doubleheader...as it turns out, we could have easily played tonight...), and i'm not at all upset by this.

so, if you helped to fulfill my life (a life which probably included about four hours on the phone this evening), i wish to thank you heartily.
