Research Project - Your Google Sales Pitch

For my reseach project I wanted to share something that I really enjoy with the rest of the class. But mouch more than what I enjoy I wanted to share some helpful things I know about Google.

I put together a small interactive Flash website, which was almost more appealing in class than the information was.

What about Shelly...

in high school I had two close female friends. We were all close... but it was never all three at the same time. One person was always on the out side looking in.

Fast foward to a moment in college where things has fallen down around us as one girl broke up with her boyfriend, we will call her Shelly. And the other girl started dating him, lets call this girl Ashley.

Ashley and the boy dated from 6 months or so and I ended up on that side of the line. But I was still friendly with Shelly. Shelly and I were eating lunch one day when she told be she had been sleeping with Boy all summer.

And then the shit hit the fan. And I was in the middle.

One Thursday night I was closing at work and came home to the following MySpace message from Shelly:

i want you to know that i am completely tired of you pretending to be my friend and when i call you out on not being my friend you make up some bull shit excuse. you start too much drama.

And I never talked to her again. That was September of 2006.

I sometimes think about what I would have done differently. The whole things was a mess.

What if I had landed on the other side of the line with Shelly and her friends instead of Ashley and the Boy.

Ashley and the boy are still together. They have a baby. And Ashley truly is my best friend. So I know that I did what I did because this is where I want to be. But sometimes I miss Shelly. But the bridge is long burnt. And Ashley still has Shelly issues ... and can you blame her?

I wonder if I would still be with Ben if I had stayed with Shelly.

Would Shelly accept my friend request now.

I feel there is this alternitve reality where Shelly and I worked things out. Where I said something in reply to the MySpace message... where I wasn't proud and neither was she. Where I probably lose Ashley and the Boy because no matter this reality or the other I don't think I could have been friends with both.

Now this story doesn't really answer the question the assignment asked.

If I had a completely separate life I would be taller, skinnier, richer, smarter. But then I wouldn't be me and I like me.
