10 Year Anniversary

Ten years ago today — May 27, 1999 — I graduated from high school in what is considered by many to be the biggest miracle of the twentieth century. Here I am pictured with my mother on the day; a lady who has been my rock for these very changing ten years which I have to say have flown by. As far as I know there is no reunion, not that I would've attended.

Our high school had a long-standing tradition of graduating its seniors on a Friday, but some idiot double booked the "church" we graduated at, so we were forced to break tradition (who cares) and graduate on a Thursday. Where I'm going with this story is: so Friday with everyone in my house being at work or school I woke up with no job, no school to go to, nothing. It was the strangest feeling. I felt as if I had an empty page to start anew. And did I ever go out into the world and do I ever have a lot more to see.

My best friend from high school and I are supposed to meet-up for dinner tonight, but I haven't heard from her and we haven't been on great terms in the past few months. So it looks as if I'll spend the anniversary alone. Reflection is an absolute part of future-planning. If I had a VHS-player I'd watch the graduation ceremony that I have on tape. LOL.

REFLECTION UPDATE: After reflecting on it, I decided that if there were a reunion I would go only if Nathan went with me.

PHOTO UPDATE: After reviewing it I've realized that that is the only photo of my mother and I in dresses and she doesn't look like that anymore, she looks younger now, and that that gown I'm wearing makes me look fat and like I have large thighs when in fact in that photograph I weighed 98lbs. Also, I still have that cap & gown.
