So I found out that someone who used to tease me in middle school is now a crack addicted girl who almost married a real loser. Now I knew about the marriage part but not the crack addicted part. Hrm...I think I need more time to reflect on this before I say anything.

Its so weird to find out things about people that have played a large or even a small part in your life. And heck, I've only been gone from whb for 2 years and out of high school for 1. Whats going to happen when its 10? Thinking about it gives me the chills.

Gah, its too small of a world for my tastes. And I'm too damn curious.

Edit: You go out of your way for her but can't for me. Apparently to get any respect from your close friends you need to ignore their existance entirely, for over a year, and then you can get them looking for you. What the fuck?

I wish there was a way to check up on how everyone has progressed each year... but I guess since there isn't it will make it all the more shocking when the 10 year reunion does come around.

I just found out that a girl I graduated with is now working at IGHL. I never would have pictured her there. Go figure! Life is surprising like that once you're removed from the high school bubble.

I can't wait to witness the new freshman on campus this upcoming year and watch them all emerge from their bubbles ^_^

Oh god, my ten year reunion. Sheesh. I just realized that I've been to four high schools, not three. Well sorta since South Manor had 9th grade built in. Weirdness.

Speaking as someone who's been out of high school for almost 5 years now...lemme tell ya, it just gets worse.

You find out who died, who got married, who has babies, who joined the army and got shipped off to Iraq and got their arm blown off...It never ends.

I've also found that the past is very different in retrospect. You see some things more clearly, see bends in the road behind you that you assumed were straight when you were taking them. It's not better or worse, just different. It takes a lot of adjustment.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. *hides behind Jen* Scaryness!

Yeah, I was reading Steve Stanley's journal the other day about Alan Legitt going into the army. I knew he was going into the army, but unlike Steve I really hadn't thought about it. Man, if he gets shipped off to Iraq and doesn't come back... :( He's such a good guy, smart, friendly-- I have a really hard time seeing him pick up a gun and shoot someone because the US Armed Forces said so. *sigh*

Thats where I found out about the whole crack addicted thing. =/ I didn't really know Alan but I hope he comes back safely. I know all too well what it is like having someone you care about in the military. *hugs*

This is Ellie from Purchase by the way!

Yey! I finally discovered you journal! I'm not sure if you remember me. I met you last semester when I was still with Kat :(

Anyway, I just wante to say, yeah, that's how things work. I had a best friend since like when I was 5 or something, and she constantly tortured and abused me both physically and emotionally, and just finally, when I was old enough to get it, I left her and didn't speak or have any contact with her for five years, and then my good friend, Eva, finally convinced me to at least talk to her online, because this ex-best friend wanted to talk to me.

Since then, she changed a lot, but I basically had to "ignore" her existance in order to get any respect. I don't know. that's really stupid, but I guess that's the way it works sometimes.

*nods* Yeah, I remember you heh. Why do you think I added you back? And actually I met you before you and Kat were going out, first semester with Jasmine. =)

Yeah, it is pretty dumb. Stupid social bullcrap. =/

heh, except for my close friend and one acquaintance i havent come in contact or have any idea about whats going on with anyone i went to elementary/high school with. not that it really matters since for the most part most people i went to skool with had a negative impact on me...

Depends on what school we are talking about with me. South manor was a very negative impact on me, westhampton beach was the middle ground, oneonta was great for me, and hauppauge had no effect.
