PREORDER I THINK WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

{schmaltz}

last night i was hanging out in the living room thinking about something, when my thoughts derailed and crashed right into the pile of yearbooks on the bookshelf beside the piano. i picked up the one from my second year of college and skimmed through the scribbles on the inside covers. and then i was laughing so hard i was crying a little.

it would seem that all of my friendships centred around mean nicknames and inside jokes involving injuries i sustained in embarrassing ways. {example: GB = garbage butt, because of the time tim stuffed me in a garbage can and then knocked it over. you should have seen my back after that. rusty legs, sloth fingers, apple cheeks, cold fish hands, the list goes on--we're talking physical scarring, you guys.} also, can you tell none of us were very big on given names? {dirt, foster child, heinrique, etc.}

anyway, it got me feeling pretty nostalgic. i long for that time when my friends beat me up and laughed at me.

here's all of us. can you find me?

I found you right away! Can you find me?!?! Rach and I are both kinda staring at the ground...I think the sun was hurting our eyes...either that or we were hanging our heads in shame :) LOL...good times!

PS. Not all your fiendships revolved around mean nicknames...although we do have our fair share of inside jokes :)

I found you immediately! And may I say you look very confident for it being the first day. Ah, Bible School...so full of inside jokes and made up names...such good times. Some of the best times of my life, hands down.

Your post reminds me that these old year books are worth keeping, and not to be thrown out in one of my "clean out the clutter!" moods.
thanks

hahahaha "I guess that wasn't a good way to start the year. Anyway have fun going to Warped Tour" Awesome. I should dig around for my yearbooks, I think my mom has them somewhere.

Don't throw out your high school ones - someday your kids will get a huge kick out of them and you truly know how to do 90s (or early 2000s) hair when they have theme night at youth!!!
