So the thing about the Mason Jennings concert, and thinking about how I'm not going to be at Picnic Day this weekend, are that more than making me miss Davis, they make me miss the people I've left there. I know that the wedding in May will be a bit of a reunion, but none of us are the same people we were two years ago. I know that we all change and grow with time, and this is a very good thing, but it also means that there's no way to really recapture the magic. Standing there at the Black Cat on Friday, hearing:

"i thought i could live forever here on my own
it seemed things were so much better out here alone
a lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now
i'm living in the moment with the friends i love
i knew i could feel more power living life without love
so i spent my days and hours looking for heaven above
the only thing that i found was my feet on the ground, so
i'm living in the moment with the friends i love
money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it
money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it, you don't mean it
some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end
and all our lives will be recorded and replayed again
one day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now
i'm living in the moment with the friends i love"

...all I could really think of was sitting in our living room at Sun Tree listening to the CD and having Katrina turn to say, "Hey, that's about us." That moment sums up college for me. As far as I'm concerned, that was the theme song for our apartment. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to go back, or that I that I want to change anything about the current state of my life. I guess I just wish I could have them both at the same time. If I were to move back to California and live with Kelly again, I'd probably feel the same way about my friends here in DC.
