It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd put something up.
Not much is going on, just working and trying to shred every document I have that I don't need (a never-ending process).
After some online research, I tracked down and got in touch with my best friend from my college sorority. I know what you're thinking .... "YOU were in a sorority? You are the opposite of joiner, you don't have a lot of patience for women who complain about nothing constantly and you're not thin, tall and blonde with blue eyes". Well, all that was true then as it is now. I didn't have a choice and was forced to join one. I pretty much hated the entire experience, but I did make a few friends who were awesome. We were the misfits who spent all our spare time going out dancing at the Red Onion (ARGH!! Remember that place?), the Palace in Hollywood, going for $1 shots at the Acapulco, $1 movies at the 2nd run theater and hanging out with the fraternity guys who had a nice shared house that we could hang out at (more fun than sorority sisters for sure).
It's been nice reconnecting after all these years since we last spoke. The cool thing about it is that neither of us feels or acts like we're grown-ups (even though we're pushing 50 and she's married with a 12 year-old). She and her husband own her parents house, so I was able to drive out and still remember how to get there without directions, I was practically on autopilot.
She looks the same as she did in school, which isn't fair!!!
Next time we get together, she's going to come out this way. Yikes!!! I guess that means I'd better shred more stuff so she doesn't think I'm a paper hoarder crossed with Fred Sanford.
This woman knew me when I was working 3 jobs to pay for tuition and books while going to school full time. Concerts, friends, not studying and having fun were important to me. I wasn't the responsibility / repercussion fanatic that I am today. Back when I didn't have the hang-ups I do now (well, I had a couple). I wonder if she sees me as being the same or radically different?
I know my eyebrow game is much more on point now than it was then!!!
Weird.
