Auckland #3: Make new friends but keep the old, for one is silver, the other gold

I haven't really thought much about people I have left. But today I came home from Carey, just so so tired. And when you're tired, you question. I lay on my bed and held my snowglobe. My snowglobe with pictures of Gerard and Lucy dressed up as reindeers holding silly signs. And I just thought Man. How good it would be to have Gerard to talk to right now. You know. Like when I am forming these new amazing friendships with people, I just think, aaah an old friend who understands and knows me really well, how nice would that be right now. And to hear Gerard's Subway stories, or his views on political issues or current affairs, or just to talk about anything, whether trivial or deep. I enjoy his company, no matter what the occasion. It is a friendship that been consistent. At school especially, he was the one person I could count on to talk intellectual/deep, when I needed or wanted that. And I know he liked that about our friendship as well. I love and treasure the new friendships I am making in Auckland, in Intermission and the like, but tonight my old friend Gerard was on my mind. I'm not going to forget him. Don't forget your friends. NOTE: It would only let me put the photos at the top. Any help with this? It hasn't done that before.
