Things I don't miss about high school:
- Everyone looked the same, and often times they needed their looks to speak for them because they had nothing good to say.
- Popular kids didn't have to be funny in order to get people to laugh. People just laughed so that they could become friends with them.
- Guys who thought that they would get laid just because a popular girl talked to them once, or glanced in their direction.
- Kids that would assume they had special status because they could put a number next to their names. Donnie #17!!!
- "Goth" kids were always suspected of wanting to kill themselves, when really it was always the class clown (who no one ever suspected) who went through with the deed.
- Intelligent kids were made fun of because they had the balls to think for themselves.
- People took themselves and their popularity so seriously that they actually thought any of their high school status would apply in the real world.
The funniest thing of all: People who would come back to high school after they graduated so that they could hang out and feel good about themselves. Normally, these were people who could not make friends in real life and needed the "celebrity status" one receives after graduation in order to feel good about themselves.
"Donnie #17 class of '95!!! I can buy beer now!"

The profile picture is one of those things that I think about a lot. I am pretty white bread, clean cut, etc. but my heart will never conform and be silent. Hope you and your guy had a good 4-year celebration. I asked Jade to marry me a decade ago on New Year's Eve, midnight.

Yep, a full circle. I feel good today... the promise of a new year.
