It's not for three more years, so why do I feel like a reunion?
October 18, 2004 1:54 a.m.
I've just spent the last two hours googling everyone that I know. Well, that's not completely fair, but I did google everyone who I went to high school with. I wanted to see what everyone was up to, if their lives were more interesting, exciting, or fantastic than my own. That wouldn't be too difficult to accomplish.
It's weird though, looking back on your yearbook. You see how young you truly were at the time. Stories, crises, all times of drama that you had forgotten about comes flooding back when you see a picture of someone who's name you can remember. All you can recall is that you hated, feared, loved, loathed them for one reason or another.
Then there are the crushes. The ones when looking back on if you ran into them now you'd probably still want them. There are the ones that you can't believe anyone would ever want them. There are the ones you considered to be heroes in your eyes. The coolest, prettiest, smartest, nicest people you would never meet because you only knew them vaguely which means you knew what you thought was every aspect of your life even though they didn't know your name.
I'm not friends with a single person from my high school. This doesn't mean that I left on bad terms. Quite the contrary, I just never kept in touch. The worst of it is that even though I have now returned to the same area of the city I lived in before I left, I seriously doubt that I'll meet up with anyone. I don't go to clubs on this end of town, and honestly that's because I don't want to meet anyone I know, it's too exhausting.
I found out some interesting things though. What some people gratuated from or what soccer team they now play for. One friend had an art show running in the city that ended yesterday. That sucks because I honestly would have gone. There were the ones who are in bands and you aren't surprised, there is one that's now a clown and I wished I was surprised.
This whole experience has left me a little depressed. If someone googled me all they'd find that was actually accredited to me would be a post on the degrassi webzine. Oh my.
Until next time...
