(no subject)
So I was just interviewing a potential future intern (on the phone) and I asked where her school was (because I hadn't heard of it) and she said "Cali"...which, kind of odd not to say the whole name of the state, but okay. However, since lately my brain is in a Doctor Who loop, I completely thought she said "Gallifrey." I came this close to spazzing at her, but then realized even if you ARE a geeky fangirl, you don't make geeky fangirl references in an interview. Also, while I was restraining my inner geeky fangirl and having this thought process, I missed like a full minute of whatever she was saying.
So, today, I am going back to Arizona for my 10-year high school reunion. Unlike many, I did not have a traumatic high school experience. I was shy and quiet (me now minus 10 years of social skills learned living in a schmoozy city), but I had my little group of friends and I flew under the radar and so was not one of those kids who got harrassed. My moving across the country immediately after high school was not a "farewell cruel high school!" gesture, but more a need to assert some independence from my parents. I really only still talk to one person from high school, and when I say talk I mean we e-mail maybe once every two months and get together for a drink when I'm there (which is usually only at Christmas). So, when people I haven't spoken to for 10 year started facebooking me asking if I was coming to the reunion, I thought...what the hell.
Now I just have to hope I don't regress to a high school level of insecurity. And decide on something really sexy to wear.
