We shared similar taste in books, movies, and music. Mostly we shared a passion for everything. We felt things as only teenagers can feel things - deeply, passionately, and as if whatever was happening at that exact moment to us were the only things that mattered. It was a passion that I have long since forgotten.
Like so many other things from youth, Candy and I drifted apart. Recently she found me on Facebook and we have once again rekindled our friendship. We still share a fondness for the same music (though that music is drastically different from what we once both loved) and it has been wonderful to get to know her again and see who she has became.
Just yesterday I signed my mother up for a Facebook account and she has become giddy looking for long, lost friends. It is quite a thing to find old friends and new at the touch of the button. I am thrilled to no longer be that awkward teenager, but it is nice to rekindle those old passions, and remember and old friend.
Merry Christmas everyone, and to you too, Candy.

You were the same for me Mat. Facebook is amazing this way. You are one of those friends I always wanted back in my life, but it seemed kind of difficult, but with FB it is so easy! Your wife seems very cool. I adore folks who understand french. I, too, can dig some Edith Piaf.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
