Catching Up Post #344
I’ve been looking up old highschool aquaintences lately.
It’s funny. With all the torture highschool was, I kind of enjoyed it. What’s more, I really find myself hoping people have done well. I know many people don’t want to go home for their reunion, but I feel compelled to.
Those people shared four years of my life. It’s like there’s a little of me trapped there- getting together with them always lets a little of it escape.
I’ve only been back a few times in the last ten years, and when I do our converations always go back to all the stupid crap I did back then. I was the idiot-mouth. I’d say anything anytime anywhere. Large groups loved it. Individuals didn’t so much, but it’s understandable. Dang I’m glad I din’t waste a minute.
Anyway, it’s been cool to see where people are now. The girl I used to make run out of class crying is now an editor for businessweek. The nerdy one we called Doogie Houser is traveling the world studying marine biology. One buddy of mine just climbed a mountain in Alaska- ever since HS ended he’s been doing crap like that- all over the place. (Brett and Andrew are the latest- you guys seem to be having a blast.
Pretty much everyone I’ve found is happy doing their own thing. Not all, but all the ones I feel like rooting for, and that’s pretty cool.

It’s an evolving process. Mostly I Google their name or look ‘em up with yahoo people search.

High school was the greatest. At what other time in your life after school is there a time set aside to just go and sit in a room with a combination of your friends and people that desperately need to be made fun of. Is of a preposition? I don’t think I should be ending a sentence with of. Plus I’m pretty sure that that’s a run-on sentence. Man, I’ve been writing too many final papers. I wish I was back in high school.
