I might be bored today at work, but is that any reason to peruse My Space for people that went to the same high school as me?  Um, no – I don’t think that’s a good reason at all.  Sadly I did and sadly I walked away from the experience mostly scared (and somewhat scarred).  I don't know exactly what I thought I'd find out there.  There are a number of people I know, mostly a number that I didn’t want to ever think about ever again.  I guess I thought it might be interesting to see if any people that I was actually kind of sad to have lost touch with were still out there: there was ONE.  The run down is:

- Scary boy who dated my friend throughout high school.  Very, very scary - big weirdo - he actually took the time to latch hook a pillow of Eeyore for my friend.  What high school boy does that?  He, at the age of 23, claims to have never been drunk before.  I find this unusual – as I had seen him in a bar a summer or two ago.  I know I wasn’t drunk when I saw him, more than likely I was stoned, but I was also very distraught as I had just seen the guy that I had been dating for SIX months at a concert holding another girls hand while he was still presumably dating me (LONG, dumb, idiotic story for another time).  I was waiting for my friend to get out of the bathroom so we could leave the bar and I was tossing my wallet up into the air and catching it as I tend to do when I’m bored and waiting for someone (and when I’m very obviously trying to ignore people I went to high school with).  I think I dropped my wallet and they took this to assume that I was drunk, instead of highly uncoordinated, and started yelling, “You’re drunk.”  I just gave them a look of death and went outside.  Yeah – not cool.

- Scary girl who played clarinet in band with me and who very obviously got a boob job based on the picture I saw on her profile.  This girl was flat as a board and now she claims that her “boobies” are her best attribute.  Apparently she works in the “fashion” industry.  I like to use that term loosely as it seems she works as a personal shopper at Macy’s in Chicago.  Good lord.

- Two girls that were quite popular in high school, one who was mostly nice to me, one who was mostly not (although I swear she had a thing for my older brother), who apparently both live in San Diego now and enjoy posting pictures from middle school and high school.  When I saw some of them I seriously wanted to barf.

- Crazy Christian freak boy who I don’t remember being so into Christ during high school.  Apparently lives in Nebraska.  Dear lord, why would you want to move to Nebraska?  This was my major elementary school crush from 3^rd-5^th grade and now I look at him and think that he’s totally gay except extremely closeted because of the whole aforementioned being a crazy Christian thing. (Now would be a good time for me to say that I do not think all Christians are crazy nor do I think they are all homophobes – but seriously, I can tell just looking at his My Space page that he IS one of the crazy ones who don’t accept people for who they are.)

+ The only positive was finding my aforementioned best friend from 7^th and 8^th grade (in the Myth of You and Me post).  She seems like she’s doing well and is happy and didn’t turn into some psycho crazy person so good for her.  I wouldn’t expect anything less.

So let this be a lesson to you all to not go nosing around My Space unless you really want to be confronted with strange memories of years past.
