I keep hearing the term that "High school was a long time ago". I know that the saying is meant to mean what Mark Twain meant when he said "Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world - and never will."
However, when I think about it, high school WAS a long time ago for me.
I graduated high school in (are you ready for this?) 1984. The year of George Orwell. Yup, I can see the gray hairs coming in. I have mixed feelings about the gray ones. They are gray, but at least I got hair! :-)
It seems strange to me that I can only remember one thing from graduation. There was this one guy (nope, don't remember who he was) who told those of us who were going off to college that while in college we would determine our mate, our major, and our morals. He was right on all three. Batting 1.000
I went to VA Tech. A pretty good sized school that had a student base that was way more diverse than my high school. That diversity taught me that we need to accept people for who they are and not see them as who we think they ought to be.
The point that I am leading up to is this: SUICIDEGIRLS IS ONE OF THE BEST DAMN COMMUNITIES THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!! All of the people that I have talked to on this site are fantastic! We all need to build a commune together somewhere. :-)
Of course, it goes without saying that I am proud to be a member of SuicideGirls!

I completely agree with your opinion of this community . I have never met such an amazing and interesting group in my life . Especially the girls . Not only are they beautiful but they're intelligent , eloquent , and just plain sweet .
TO THE COMMUNE!!!
i dont remember much from my graduation....which is sad...i wish i could blame it on age or something natural like that...but in the end it was the ammount of drugs that i took that day that erased most of my graduation memories....although i do remember one thing....the meat heads who actually graduated decided to bring a blow up doll to the ceremony....the one kid sat there through most of commencements blowing it up....ive never seen anyones face turn that red before....so as the valedictorian stood before the mic ready to give her speech up went the blow up and it stayed up for about 4 minutes until the principal caught hold of her naked body and once he realized what he was holding he hid it behind his back....the embarrassment on his face was priceless....
and as one last comment....in agreement with 35mmlife....although i love this community and would thoroughly enjoy living closer to many of the members...im not quite sure if i would want to meet some of them...i mean its nice talking through journals and occassionally on aol....but thats all i would want to come of it....never actually meeting face to face....i think that is what keeps me interested to some of the members on here....oh well...
ok well ive taken up too much space already my dear....hope you have a lovely day....xoxo...
