Life stuff happens as you get older. Jobs, moves, marriages, kids. Time becomes shorter. There isn't as much time for the things you describe. But I still have one or two friends from my early teens and even now, as I stare down the barrel of the big five-oh, we can not see each other for months or even years and then we speak and it's like it's 1993 again and we're all the same people, just a bit greyer and fatter.
