Sem Break Day Two
So it's the sem break, a time for some R& R and catching up with old friends. I want to make an effort to meet with all of my friends this break because I miss them for one thing and it just feels nice to reacquaint with them. I didn't have to wait too long into the break to get started though because yesterday, it was a night of networking with Myles and Glenn.
These two are such characters. I've known them since high school and we always had this weird sort of friendship going on. A lot of it involves shouting, insults and sarcasm but I guess that made the whole thing survive throughout the years. Around 2nd year in college, I never got to see Glenn much because he kinda got reverted back to his addiction to video games. For every time I asked him to come with us to a gimik, he could never make it because of transpo problems. Myles and I believe that Glenn is lost now. I'm not one to say but we kinda knew this would happen.
Jesus, it has been 6 years. There were so much conflict yet at the same time, fun during those high school days. We made epics out of monopoly and forged friendships with pizza. The thing is though, it's always been about the games. Our friendship as Myles said, is one out of food and games. Yesterday though, Glenn asked us to go to 129 to have an all-night network spree. Myles and I went and that was simply it, we just played games all day but Glenn played with us for one or two games in the morning and went to his own thing playing WoW. Somehow, I wasn't at all surprised. The feeling of falling apart has always been lurking around the corner ever since we all sat together for lunch.
DOTA was just another link to bring us together in college. The pattern never ceased but I found it interesting to know that this time it seemed like a whole new ballgame. After he played his game, he came over to Myles and me to play a game with us, DOTA this time. It's just the three of us in a team and our opponents were pretty much hard to beat but somehow, we pulled it out of the bag with miraculous spontaneous teamwork. Everything synch'd at that moment, at that one game. Glenn, Myles and I were astounded by that. After all those time, something led us to become a team.
We have always been different. Personality clashes. I remember we had a lot of fights but I guess that can't be avoided. Now though, it feels weird because though our ways of life may be different, somehow we can still bring it together. In the end, it's true that our friendships are forged out of food and games but I guess even if a friendship lasts that long based on just that, you can't deny it. Maybe that's the whole deal with the three of us. DOTA might just be a game but it's a game that brought us together for reasons I cannot understand. I know that the falling apart is a possibility always present but I'd like to think that it's that possibility that keeps everything together until it ultimately comes.
I really don't know how it works but I've stop asking questions about it anymore. Sem Break Day Two, it goes to DOTA and good friends.
