Still a Volcano

"Hey gorgeous," the e-mail read. "I was thinking about you the other day. How's it all going?"

It had been nearly six months since I'd heard from him, and I hesitated before answering.

"Pretty great," I said. "Actually, it's my birthday today! I'm 25. How are you doing?"

I hit send and then waited for his response, wondering if perhaps time had finally made it possible for us to be friends on even terms.

A few minutes passed before his name popped on screen again. When I read his words I smiled.

"It's my birthday on April 1st. I'm more fantastic than ever, if you can believe that."

I thought for a second, and then wrote.

"So it's still all about you, eh?"
