I have a friend that I met in the 8th grade. I couldn't stand her for a year and she knew it. I was new to the school had just moved from Ca to Ok and wasn't happy about it one little bit. That was in 1982 and we are still friends even after my folks moved back to Ca and then to KY. We talk from time to time and email and now face book. I love her but she still drives me crazy.
