i: still remember you.

you: the interesting person in mini U from the NWT.

you: made beaded forms of art and gave them to me.

i: took them graciously, smelling the smoke on the leather.

you: became cool once the other girls saw your artwork and beading skills.

i: faded into obscurity.

we: made a slideshow and thought bob and doug mackenzie were cool, eh.
