Nostalgia???




I don't even know what to write about. I am just kind of confused and feel bizarre. For some unknown reasons I decided to get in touch with this guy that I knew when I was in high school, Matt. I haven't seen or talked to Matt I think in 10 years this New Years. In high school, there were a group of us, both Chatham girls and some guys that went to our brother school--Woodberry Forest that had this I guess 'online community' (back in the mid 90's the Internet was so different...there weren't really communities and this was before AOL instant messenger too I believe) so that we could talk to each other during study hall, at night, etc. We didn't have access to our phone during the day, during study hall or at night. And I think the woodberry boys had only a hall phone, so you had to call and hope to find the person you were looking for. Anyway, we had our own little thing going on online between us that didn't require phone calls and such. We were technologically advance. :)

There were probably about 30 of us max between the 2 schools and there were some random 'normal' kids that were friends of ours from home that we brought in for the same reason...easy of communication and ways to procrastinate.

This was pretty much my 'group' in high school. My social outlet to boys. It also had WAY WAY WAY too much drama. We were Melrose place drama but in high school. Definitely a lot of angry, back stabbing, shameful hookups, etc.

When I talked to Matt yesterday, I talked about how I hadn't talked/seen most everyone in almost 10 years, with the exception of Mari, Andrew and Parker. Through the wonders of Facebook we found quite a few people. And let me be petty: Something that pisses me off is that there are definitely people in there that were not part of our group. They went to college with Matt and must have been pathetic and didn't have any friends and wanted to be part of some 'lame' high school group. So I am still bitter those people are around. I don't care to talk to them and they were the reason I distanced myself from this group....well....one of the reasons.

Then Matt led me to www.archive.org. Holy crap! I found quite a few of my old journal entries, writings, pictures, etc. It was incredible. I couldn't find all of them. I REALLY wish I could find journal entries from 1998. The real drama year and the year I guess I had my first 'real' boyfriend. I would just love to read those. Anyway, I posted up the ones that I found.

Wow was I an angry teenager.
