Nostalgia

Well I've been working on a very important gift for mother's day all week. Which has meant lots of scanning of old pictures. I often wonder what could have been what might have been if different things in my life had gone in a different way. I wonder what would have happened if we never moved to Canada? First off would I have even learned English? My mom spoke English so why wouldn't have I. Would I have gone to an English speaking school or just integrate with the other kids from my neighbourhood etc.

What would have happened if Jennifer or Christine never moved away, or Michelle or Jessica or Gladys? Christine moved to florida my senior kindergarten year. Jennifer a bit later. Michelle, Jessica and Gladys I was re-united with later on in High School but we had been apart for so long that we had other "best friends". Jessica and Gladys are my "facebook friends". Gladys and I used to work at Mac together but even then I didn't see her much.

Now if things hadn't changed from middle school to high school or if I had actually moved out to Fruitland back then once again where would I be? Would my career path have been different? Funny thing is I would have gone to Newman or O.P. so I might have actually ended up hanging with some of the same people. I would have met Leah, Lindsay, and Lindz way sooner. But I most likely wouldn't have dated Shawn, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although if I hadn't I wouldn't have ever gone to Scott Park and met everyone that I had met. I would have definitely never lived with Amber. Although I don't know how Amber lived there in the first place, it must have been horrific. I would have either stabbed someone *name witheld* or just moved out and said screw you!

Had I not gone to Scott Park I would have never become friends with Julie, Melyssa, Chandis, Ashley, Jeannette, Chloe, Mary, or Haley. A few of them which I still talk to on facebook. Most of which I have on my facebook but we don't talk, why I'm not too sure apparently I misplaced the post-it.

Then I think of my job. I loved working at Mac, I never wanted to leave. But I needed full-time. Funny it was taking the full time job that made me lose a friend. Yeah I had this unbelievable trip planned with my "best friend" but I actually got the full time job I had been trying to get for 2 years! Shitty thing was that my start day was the day we were supposed to leave for this unbelievable trip, and my boss made me choose. Do I want the job or the trip. Silly me I figured the trip could be re-scheduled or maybe I could give my plane ticket to someone else. Since after all this was my chance to go FULL TIME!!! WooHoo. Yup it was silly me because I chose the job. Told the friend, over the phone. Apparently big mistake because I got hung up on and we've never talked again. Guess i shouldn't have taken the job.

Funny all these thoughts from scanning a few old pictures.

Still wondering where the heck the post-it went to.
