Just said goodbye...

... to Marlie. She leaves tomorrow morning around 7. I went over tonight and said goodbye. I can't believe that today is August 24th. Wasn't it just yesterday that it was May and I drove over to meet Marlie the minute she came home? And didn't we just go to the beach together? UGH. I had forgotten to take my half of the earrings we bought, so we split them tonight. Then we kind of stared at the floor because neither of us wanted to say it.

She said, "So... bye." and I burst into tears. Big surprise. She hugged me and patted my hair and murmured little things. (She's getting much better at that. It used to be that I would begin to cry and she's just stand awkwardly nearby, heh.)

Just the memory has made me start up again. Short version is that Marlie's gone and I have one more week until I get back to school. Not only that, but I'm PMSing. No one likes a PMS poster (me least of all) so I'm going to save it for tomorrow.
