[Just a quick reflection.]
I really like that his voicemail message is the same one that he's had since 8th grade.
I think I used to make fun of how he sounded in it. He does sound a little silly, especially considering his voice was a few tones higher then than it is now :P. But I really love it. I love that if his phone is off and I'm disappointed I can't talk to him (and it frequently is off...idk how he does it, my phone is never off unless I'm rebooting it for some reason :P) I still hear that voicemail. Because it's the same comforting voice that I've heard for 4 years, still there. And unlike many other people in my life, that voice doesn't bring back scary thoughts or haunting memories. It brings back memories of DC, and parties at Fred's house, and of course Prom. Even if there were times inbetween when he's hurt me, or irritated me, or frustrated me, it's never been anything bad enough that I couldn't bounce back from, and he's always still been there for me regardless. More importantly, I've always still wanted him to be there for me. Even when I say I don't.
And that one little "please leave a message after the beep!" reminds me of all of that and is just enough to give me a little smile and keep me going through the night.
It's a small pointless detail, but sometimes that's all we have to hold on to. So yeah. Stay my friend for always, please. :).
