Ohh nostalgia...

So, a friend of mine from high school posted some redonk pictures of us from high school on her facebook page. I look horrible, obviously, but they are just too funny to ignore. Of course, the people she tagged began a string of comments...and it led to us having so hilarious realizations about some of the dumb shit we used to do back in the day.

What surprises me the most are the things that other people remember about our shared experiences. One of my friends pointed out how she remembered watching movies of our summer reading books on this little white tv I had back then. (Don't tell my 7th graders what a complete hypocrite I am in this regard!) My other friend laughed about how the 1st time she ever watched Conan O'Brian was on that tv, too! The tv wasn't even in the picture!

Meanwhile, I saw the wall paper and all the posters and Absolut vodka ads I had put up on the walls to cover it up and thought, "There's no way my mother didn't know I was smoking weed and drinking all through high school." (Yes, I went to all girls Catholic school.) I also know I forced my friends to watch Conan because I was the only 15 year old who was madly in love with him in 1997 and wrote him a letter propositioning him for a position as either a writer OR his wife.

I wonder why I didn't get a reply?
