Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Once upon a time my best friend and I thought we got our lives all figured out. She would be a scientist or some tech geek since she was the smartest kid on the block (not the most hard working, just the smartest). I was always a chatterbox, so I would be a business woman of some sort who would talk people into buy anything. We would marry German soccer players, a striker for me, and a center-field for her (yes, I was always the vain one). We would play 'Love is All Around' from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' at our weddings. We would live in two houses right beside each other. We would each have 11 kids so we could have our own soccer team.

15 years later, thousands miles apart, we drag ourselves up every morning to make ends meet. We are still single and have no fancy ideas about matrimony and reproduction. She is in business administration, and I end up being a geek. One of our friend is married and one is going through divorce. One has cancer, and one plays video game every waking moment. There was a song very popular back then when we were kids, and it went something like '...It is not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast...'
