God….so i finally did it…I pulled out my High School Yearbook today…and thinking on the past 5 years since graduation…..and compiling all of the information I’ve received…..most of the girls i graduated with are pregnant, married, or in the military.
No one knows where any of the guys are…So where did we go wrong? DID we? I mean…..Google Name seraches produced more info..but much of the same content, married, few graduated from college, mostly pregnant….the teachers? all gone…..scandal, with only two left behind *the cool ones*.
Did i miss the boat? No….I think I just jumped out when it was sinking. Most of the stuff is obvious now, those who turned Gay….wasnt something we were even thinking about in High School….yeah, we joked…but was it really THAT serious? nah…..
I answered a question on a “How well do i know you” quiz the other day. It asked me whether the person loved or hated high school. And if someone were to ask me if I hated High School…i would say No. It’s simple….High School was easy. It was one of those things where you dont really have to worry about much accept whether or not you’re going to be voted team captain or whether or not your name will show up on the Prom balot. I was, and …it did.
High School wasn’t one of those things where ya wake up dreading that you have to sit n class…or be bothered about seeing the ex hugged up on his new girlfriend *your ex best friend* in the hallway….okay, so maybe those were factors…but it wasnt really about that for me. It was fighting over the top position in the class…..*i got salutatorian*, and it was about making sure that my team was the best that I could make it *we still lost*….
but in the grand scheme of things, it was about enjoying life…..with nothing to worry about. It was about making sure that at volleyball camp, no one stole my Fozzy *stuffed muffet*. Of course, they could love him all they wanted to…and they did, but making sure he wasnt stolen everynight was an issue. It was about spending time with my friends from Junior High who were now at different schools NOT in the immediate area, two of which will be two of my bridesmaids when i get married. Yep, we’re still cool like that…..It’s about making sure i got to spend time with my cousins I mean, my family was crazy…but whose isnt? :soapbox: Mine was just….a little…..”Extra”….lol…doesnt mean I love em any less….

And mostly it was about friends….high school was just…..cool. With there only being about 3 black girls in the class, it was pretty simple about who was gonna be hangin with who by the end of the year…wish the black male population worked the same way, but hey, with most of the girls being hispanic…I couldnt really blame them. Their pickins were slim in the black area. It was about making sure we got our same table in the Senior Patio.
….yep…the senior patio where, lowerclassmen got hosed down if they step one foot on the grass…..where the teachers got evil looks if they even ventured to try to come and sit. We were a little rough…lol. But I guess the big thing for me was weekends….and hangin with my mom. I think she’s the reason for my shopping addiction.
She’ll prolly kill me when she sees this photo, but I live an hour away..and umm…:razz: @ Mom. After my dad died, my mom made an extra effort to be around for all of my volleyball games and school events….it’s rough being a single mom. And i think i had to be “la creme de la crop”……spoiled…..mean…..and…just all around great….dun mean to toot my own horn. but….TOOT *there goes that horn again*…lol…naw, but really…we had a lot of confusion at first because she was the one who used to BAIL ME OUT when i used to get in trouble with my dad…and now …..I was gettin in trouble with her. But we figured it out….we got it together, just in the nick of time… :hug:
But you know…she had a lot to work with. WHAT? I was cute for nine….:blush:
Anyhow…..I’m glad that things turned out the way they did….I’ve had some great folks in my life…
