P365 Day 17: Hanging out with Matt

(Matt doesn't like having his picture taken — in fact, I think this is the only picture I have where he's not giving me the finger — but it's my policy to take a picture from the passenger's seat whenever I let someone drive my car. He drives carefully. Like my grandmother. But in a good way.)

After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Matt and I went out for coffee last night. Actually, that's not true. We went to Starbucks and ordered an iced tea (me) and a strawberry-banana smoothie (him). Then, just like old times, we drove around the city and talked.

It's much easier to talk when you've got your eyes on the road.

It's funny. Matt's so chill and I'm so high-strung sometimes, and I appreciate that he never lets me get too far ahead of myself. We've known each other more than a decade — he even deejayed my wedding reception — and I've always felt I can be very open with him. (I can even say on my blog that he drives like my grandmother and he won't get mad at me.)

I just hate that we go so long without seeing each other. It's never on purpose; it just happens that way.

Matt's always told me he's going to conquer the world. If anyone can do it, he can. And then he's going to give me a job as co-conquerer, because really, that's what friends are for.
