Having attended eleven different schools before graduating high school is a sure way to have no one remember you ( ... )

That must have been so difficult when you were a child, particularly. As children, so much of our maturation is dependent on interaction with peers, and building relationships with them. And apart from that, (!!!!) that's an awfully lonely existence for a child. Kudos to you for surviving!

I am sort of in touch with a friend (that's one) close friend from grade school. I say sort of in touch because we talk two or three times a year. There's another friend who writes once a year. But my friends from school are few and far between.

I think surviving is all I did really. I certainly never really got to form the sorts of relationships that last. Yes, I'm in touch with a couple of people from previous classes, but I feel more connected to some LJ users that I have never met than I do with them. I don't think this makes me unique but it does help explain the world view I have. Thanks for your thoughts about it... and for sharing a bit of your story.

I haven't a clue what other people remember about me other than I loved the Bee Gees. Although we moved a lot, I always made friends, had people to hang around with, etc. Still I was never that social. I liked reading and writing and daydreaming, not really group activities. :-)

In the yearbook I was 'weirdest conversation starter' I think that pretty much sums it up :)

Probably that I was the odd girl who wore her t-shirts upside down. I could talk to everyone but other than the drama folks wasn't really a part of anyone's group.

Hi GR. I am finally back home from two weeks away. I have been reading, but unable to comment on entries. Hopefully, I can comment today. Some are really good.
