Currently listening to: Do Something – Britney Spears

Fuck
Do somethin’
Why don’t you do somethin’?

What makes you laugh easily?

I wasn’t popular in preschool, kindergarten, or middle school. It wasn’t until I got contact lenses and my braces taken off that I started to look somewhat decent. Even then, I’m not entirely sure how I managed to be friends with a majority of the people in my graduating class of over 500 students.

I haven’t been laughing much these days, but flipping through my old yearbook and reading messages my friends left brought back a rush of memories. A lot of them made me laugh. God, we were so unhinged.

Darlene wrote this message. Shrunken head. LOL. That was our code name for a guy she liked but he had no idea she even existed. She was such a simp for him. But she never went up to him and struck up a convo or anything. She just watched him from afar and had fantasies about the two of them together.

She was easily one of the smartest people I knew. She was sharp, sassy AF, and intimidating especially if she didn’t like you. She was German, privileged, and living a life that was completely different than mine. Her parents gave her whatever she wanted because they felt guilty about getting divorced. I remember once I went with her and her dad to their cabin and he was looking at me a little too much. It gave me the ick. She barely studied, cursed like a sailor, drew extremely well, disrupted class for about 40% of the time, and still aced all her exams.

We all knew that her house was the place to hangout or have sex, mostly cause her parents were divorced and barely around. It was all fun and games till one of my classmate’s parents found out that their daughter was having sex at Darlene’s house and there was no supervision at the home.

    That reminds me of college, where just before class, Coll (Bees) and I would down excessive amounts of caffeinated beverages and start dancing around the class saying and writing on the board “Sam and Colleen have had their sugar/caffeine/stimulants!” The math teacher hated us, but we gave no fucks. I was my version of your wild friend. We Sags are partay machines!! Hahaha!!!

    Ah, unrequited and untested high school crushes. I often wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn’t been terrified of rejection during my formative years.

    To be clear, I’m still terrified of rejection, but these are hardly my formative years anymore…

      i don’t know anyone who likes rejection tbh

        True but what people wrote is forever lost. One classmate I grew up with in the neighborhood wrote Always remember to smile 😊 She died of cancer in 2009
