back to school, back to school, have to show i'm not a fool...
i'm so excited:) i thought i had to work on friday, in which case i'd have had to miss my great friend lonna's senior chapel (as a senior at my school, you're given the opportunity to sign up to plan and speak at a friday chapel if you want. this was the thing paul stripped to his boxers during, apparently). anyway, i haven't been to school since the last time i visited paul, which was early october (mid-october? i can't remember anymore).
this is gonna be so good for me. i've been feeling testy at work lately. singing in the chapel and seeing old friends should be just the thing for me. i hope lots of my old friends are there. i especially hope scott's there.
i had a crush on scott from the moment i first layed eyes on him, summer of '97, while i was lifegaurding. i still remember that:) anyway, we got to be good friends that summer, and i definetly developed a sizable crush on him.
my blow-my-cool moment with him didn't come until that fall, so i managed to hold out a while with him. my friend hilary and i drove to visit him one saturday. i wanted to go by myself, but i mentioned it to hilary and she decided she'd go too. i was kind of a pushover:)
it was mostly a do-nothing, hang out day. we went to a coffee shop. we sat around scott's room. the highlight, now looking back, came while we were driving between the two places. we were in my car with my car tapes, one of which was the soundtrack from the brady bunch movie (still one of my favorite driving tapes--nice mix of original brady music and early 90s grunge craziness). hilary and i were in the front, scott in back, and we up front decided the music needed to be turned up really really loud when "sunshine day" came on, with the windows down, while we were sitting at a stoplight:) and while we sang along obnoxiously. scott, one of the wackiest, most outgoing people i know, slouched as low as he could in the back seat, covering his face. this is a good example of why i didn't date in high school:)
but it's all good in the hood with him now. we wound up at the same college, although he started a year late, so he hasn't graduated yet.
he's probably one of my college highlights. while i haven't had a crush on him since high school, knowing he thinks i'm cool and funny makes me feel like... like i wish i could tell 17-year-old me this would happen:) the night that scott ignored his other friends and talked to me for an hour or two instead, ending up by telling me that i'm the funniest person he knows was maybe the highest high point, followed by the time he a year ago that he gave me a hug, looked me up and down, said "you look great," grinned, and said "and you SMELL great!" but it makes me feel so good everytime i see him, cause he always looks positively like i've made his day by running into him:) ego-boost:)
i haven't seen scott since those five minutes or so back in may. if i don't get invited to his wedding, i will beat the crap out of him. seriously. he invited me off-handedly via email or something, i think, but i'm watching the mail.
i'm SO EXCITED to be sociable with my old friends again. work people just aren't quite the same, and you all are fun and exciting and new, but again. not quite the same.
