One of my dear friends confessed that she was anorexic because people kept telling her that she wasn't beautiful.
(Now, of course, you know that I think that those people are screwed in the head. And if I ever hear one of them talk about it like it's no big deal, I will have no qualms [even if it's in front of my kids] about telling them that they are mean people with ugly hearts and they should BE ASHAMED because they don't even deserve to know my awesome friend. But that's another story altogether if/when it happens.)

What would I have done differently? I kinda wonder about that.

Obviously, knowing what I know now ...

-break up with my first boyfriend totally the first time.
-spend more time with my girl friends, since I really miss them.
-read more. Especially the classics that I don't have all the time I'd like to get into right now.
-watch more classic movies.
-learn to sew.
-get into the habit of daily prayer and scripture reading (something I always struggle with).
-get into the habit of exercising.
-have organized my room (it's a bit embarassing when friends back them remark about how messy, messy, messy my room was. Eep.)
- Asked J what the crap was wrong with me that he didn't like me (or at least have been a lot more confident around him and not so desperately thrown my heart to him to be bruised under his heels).
- said what was on my mind more.
- Kissed K when I had the opportunity. He seemed to want me to.
- Totally had a decent rebuttal for A during the Gov't class debates. So what if she attacked my religion (whether or not she knew that I'm LDS or not is no reason to bring it up).

But, all in all, high school wasn't nearly as bad as Jr. High and middle school. Being sexually harassed by your classmates just sucks total.

And they thought I was a lesbian. I'm sure they'll figure out that they were so dead wrong by the time our ten-year reunion comes along.

And, besides, I'll have the cutest set of twins there. (I'd say cutest kids, but some of my friends are in that class ... and their kids are pretty dang cute, too!)

Yeah. I didn't mind high school as much as I abhorred middle school. The teachers were great ... well, except for Wadell ... but he was easily bypassed. (It helps that I'm a verbose writer, since he graded on length, not content.)

My gosh, how do I babble on like this and not have people put me in a straightjacket? No friggin' clue.

On a tangent, I watched Citizen Kane. Meh. Good visuals, yes, but it's DEPRESSING. And I don't need depressing. Not when my painters are in. No. I need something all romantic-comedy. Maybe i should watch "About a Boy" again. That was bloody brilliant.

Oh, and other news, Zo had her first (and second, after Bruce pulled out the first) ponytail today. She looked like Pebbles from The Flinstones.

Gotta feed the girl!
