I'll Be Missing You

I had this idea for my random other category to do a "featured friend" post some weeks because I clearly like alliteration.  I thought I would do the first one about one of oldest friends, Conner Firstman.

If I remember correctly, I met Conner in Kindergarten and we were buddies ever since.  From Cub Scouts in elementary school, unfortunate hairstyles in middle school, and joking our way through Journalism and Senior Inquiry in high school, Conner was one of the most upbeat people I have ever met.  Although we went to college in different states and had quite different experiences, when we were able to meet up on breaks, it only felt like we hadn't seen each other for a few days.

Stole this from his Facebook page but I thought it represented him well.

I'm a strong believer in remembering the good times of a person so here's a list of my top 5 favorite memories of Conner:

• Sleepovers at my house way back when where we tried to watch The 10th Kingdom and had no idea what was going on or why it was so long.  I don't think we figured out either.
• Playing rec soccer where I may have kicked the ball at him (accidentally) in a place guys don't want a soccer ball to be kicked.
• Me teaching Conner how to play the dot game and him beating me on the first round in health class.  I'm still a little upset about that.
• Every day in journalism, especially deadline days.
• Reciting Family Guy lines at inappropriate times.

The Dot Game

New Year 2013/2014. So glad this picture was taken!

I think that's really all that needs to be said.  Short and sweet.

Miss you buddy!

That's all for now.  Bye.
