time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'...

The other day, my roommate asked me if I ever ran into anyone I knew from high school, since I grew up here. I told her I rarely did and that I don't really keep in contact with many people from high school.

Tonight she and I went out to eat, and a group of four or five people came in and sat down behind us. My roommate remarked that two of the girls were twins, and as one of them walked by me, I saw that the twins were girls I had gone to middle and high school with. A few minutes later, a couple walked in. It was a former high school English teacher of mine and her husband (who also teaches at that high school). And as if that weren't enough, we went to Wal-Mart after dinner and I saw my former high school "guidance" counselor.

I find this all very strange, considering there's supposedly a five-year reunion for my high school's Class of 1998 this Saturday. I wrote for information about it a couple months ago but have received nothing, so I don't know if it's still happening, but it was scheduled for this weekend. My mom says this happens to her a lot, where a bunch of people from a certain period in her life will suddenly appear around the same time, and that the "karmic reason" it happens is because you are supposed to look back at your life then and compare it to your life now. This is the second time in the last few months that I have been hit with a high school blast from the past. Hm.
