no ordinary moments

There's something about seeing your school friends during the summer that's just weird.

I have a ton of friends that I see all summer, of course, but there are certain friends that I only really see during the school year.  Friends that aren't really close enough to be worth exerting the extra effort or gas money for.

But then there are those instances around town when I see random people that I'm close to, but not close enough for real summer contact.

It's like... seeing pictures of your parents when they were kids or going to your teachers' houses.  Such people just don't EXIST in such places.  During the summer, school friends don't really exist.  They've gone out of one's personal sphere and it's almost as if they've gone out of every sphere.

I don't mean to sound self-centered or anything, as if people are only important when I'm with them.  That's not what I mean at all.

It's just... seeing people I haven't seen in a while a good month before I planned to see them next is just... weird.
