Growing up, Dylan was always my best friend. We were next door neighbors and we both had so much in common. We collected Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh card and both watch the TV series. We used to hang out after school and watch the latest episodes of Pokemon on KidsWB right at 4:00. Great memories.
Right around fourth grade, he moved away and went to Shanghai, China. While there, we kept in touch via e-mail, AIM, and even Runescape… (early on, back when it was ‘cool’). Eventually, maybe a year or two ago, he moved to England where he has been living ever since. His goal was to to end up in California for college (vs the East Coast where I live) Talk about traveling the world! Unfortunately (or fortunately?), his top school rejected him so… destiny decided to play its part.
Check out this conversation I had with my friend, Dylan, on Facebook:
