not in the know

when i was swimming laps yesterday morning the most random of thoughts crossed my mind--granted, a lot of random thoughts cross my mind especially when swimming back and forth, back and forth for an hour in a pool--but this one was especially random: i wonder what sarah's favorite ice cream is. then this was quickly followed by: i wonder what richard's favorite pie is. and: i wonder what abby's favorite part of her day is. and: i wonder what song is stuck in audra's head today. then: i wonder if stephani and rachael can paint walls in their new apartment; i wonder what colors they would choose. then: i wonder if carl has to wear a tie to work; i wonder how many ties he owns. and: i wonder how many push-ups michael can do in a minute. and this is when i realized, there a lot of random things that i know--and adore--about my friends, but there are also a lot of random things that i don't know. which is actually hard to believe considering how many rounds of "would you rather" we have all played. but i guess you can't know everything--no one, i think, really ever wants to know everything about another person. what would be the fun in that?

but i would like to know a few more things. smile.
