My reunion goal: forgive and forget

{0 notes}

The members of my high school graduating class are using Facebook to plan our 10-year class reunion.

I just saw one of my middle school bullies (oh, there were just so many) post “This should be fun!!!” and I’m trying so hard to not reply with “Yeah, kinda like that time you yanked my ponytail so hard you almost broke my neck. Woooooooo C/O 2000!!!!”

Everyone always says they want to lose some weight before their reunion; I just want to lose some of this baggage.

No seriously, I really liked pansies.

My high school obsessions were: Pansies, Sublime, and Vonnegut.

Me with my two colorguard instructors Bradley and Daniel; taken my senior year at one of our regional competitions. This is so “my two dads.”

Drawing I, junior year. We had to find 10 people and draw one of their eyes. I totally cheated on the one labeled “Mystery Girl.” What’s bothering me right now is: why didn’t I just make up a girl’s name?

I didn’t have the tightest grasp on the anime style of drawing… or proportion, for that matter. The title got cut off, and I don’t feel like rescanning. This masterpiece was called “Bride of Frankenstein.”

This is a drawing of me drawing myself. Life will go by a lot smoother if you learn to laugh at yourself. I’ve given myself more than enough material. And yes, that was my signature in high school. I was a wiccan, deal with it.

Pavement “Shady Lane”

Circa-1997-Marcela used to record mix tapes off of the local college station. This was one of her favorite catches.

“Teenagers are horrible creatures whom nobody likes and who like nobody.

Well, OK, that’s not exactly true. Teenagers like each other in fits and starts, sweaty lusting and sad desperate clawing towards one another, the kind of thing that makes you glad that, even though you are feeling old and cancerous and haven’t left the house for two days, you escaped that age. That you busted out and figured out other people at least somewhat, at least halfway, and so nothing is as fraught as it once was.

Nothing is as exciting, either, but that’s the compromise of growing up.”
