The Nostalgia Is Real
I just finished reading the last of my journal entries and it brought back so many memories! There are a lot of thing I clearly remembered and other things I had forgotten. One of the cool things about doing this was placing some events to an exact time! Also, I actually remember who most of the screennames belong to!
There are some posts that really stood out to me! All of the mentions of my nephew Parker being expected and then born because he is now 17 and a senior in high school! That is unreal! Since then my sister has had two more kids. She married Michael Clements in 2010 and I have a 12 year old niece, Amberlyn, and a 5 year old nephew named Ryker! My brother also married Kristen Morel and they just had their first child last weekend, Oliver !
All of the posts about my friends were heartwarming! I miss these times and adventures with Calon, Ellen, Kira, Kendra, Ross, Priscilla, Cassie, and so many more! Everyone has scattered to the winds but I still talk with some of you on Facebook and texting. And a few who I've lost touch with I still think about often.
Some of my posts were so whiny and needy! I haven't changed too much lol. I still complain a lot and get angsty about life and work. I still love pizza, sushi, buffets, music, theatre, reading, movies, tv, hanging out with friends, and more! Funny note, I make a comment about Family Guy returning to air in like 2005. I said I hope it lasts. it's 2023 and it's still on the air! LOL And I still watch it! And I still love Star Trek and my dramas. The book hoarding was gotten out of hand and I love thrifting!
Work has be something over the years. After the last post I worked at St. Alphonsus Catholic School for 4.5 years, Lott Furniture for .5 year, Parklane Academy for 8 years, and now I've been at SMCC for 1.5 years. I'll talk more about those later. I've also played piano at several churches and taught a lot of private piano and voice lessons.
I think this is going to be good for me, getting back into journaling. And hopefully getting some friends to pick it up again! Maybe my creative juices will perk up too! Here's looking at you NorthridgeVT!
Later! :)
