les savy fav: what would wolves do
this weekend, i’ll be attending my ten year high school reunion.
i know, it’s weird. I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM 28 YEARS OLD. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
but ok, actually, high school DOES feel like it was aaaaages ago, doesn’t it? i mean, playing apple roulette at lunch time in the senior commons? going to sleepovers? crushing on skater guys? a FAR CRY from the things i do now. a far, far cry.
so i’m pretty excited about this whole reunion thing. GEEKING OUT, thank you for asking. i’m sure it will be hours and hours of “so, what are YOU up to!” and “WOW! you look so great!” and “wait, how did you have all of these kids already?”
but the big question is: will there be hit men involved?

funny story, grosse pointe blank actually came out right before i graduated from high school in 1997. i remember going to the theater with my friend emily and thinking about how the people on the screen would be me, in ten years. emily and i were like, we are gonna be so old and growed up then! we’re gonna be so sophisticated and worldly! in short, WE WOULD BE JUST LIKE JOHN CUSACK AND MINNIE DRIVER.
except:
1) i have not killed anyone, as far as i know.
2) even if i got ten perms in a row (sweet fancy moses), my hair would never be as curly as minnie driver’s:

however, i did volunteer at a radio station, so, YES!
3) rather than disappear off the face of the planet, i have kept in rabid email contact with many of my high school friends and forced them to get together during all major holidays.
4) the house i grew up in has not been replaced by a convenience store. HOWEVER, my college dormitory is now a field of green, green grass, and my old apartment is about to be bulldozed for condos. so, yeah, kinda close.
5) unlike john cusack, i plan on holding at least ten babies during the course of the reunion.
6) i don’t know dan akroyd, but i really wish i did.
it awaits to be seen if i’ll get into a bloody fist fight and then stab someone to death. probably not, but some of those drill team girls were preeeeeeeetty annoying.
stay tuned til fifteen years from now, when i’ll be writing about the differences between my life and kathleen turner’s in “peggy sue got married.”

best music video of the summer will be determined by what you think is better: tractors (kanye) or trampolines?

becky recommend that i check out this site yesterday, and she was right. i LOVE IT! they call their message board “MY PANTS”!!!! that is awesome! and i’m pretty sure that harry potter songs will now get you into heaven.
speaking of HP, wanna know more details about what happened to harry and the gang? jk rowling, a.k.a. Queen of My Existence, tells all!
i’m really tired of lilo, but this spoof of her newest movie trailer is so double true, it’s almost sad. but it’s lilo, so, yeah, i don’t feel sad at all. just adequite.
this kitty predicts death. sounds creepy, but it’s actually pretty sweet.
and in not so funny and actually terrible news, texas sucks for kids.

















Do you think that Texas has the highest rate of uninsured children because of it’s location to the border? I figure that many of my kids whether they are legal or not are uninsured, especially while I was at Stafford. Arcola and Manvel are not exactly rolling in the dough either. Up until 10 years or so ago, it was not manditory to wear shoes to Manvel Jr. High. BTW, there is no McDonald’s in Manvel, so that is probably one more reason that Texas sucks for kids if you ask Mason.
i feel that movies such as GPB (remember how we took a photo on our girl camping trip near the Point Blank, TX sign- i have it somewhere) and Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion have given us an inflated expectation of what our reunion is going to be. but i’m still crazy excited anyway. especially since it got seth’s ass back to texas in for how freaking long?
i really wish james was home for this.
Califonria apparently has some immigrants too, and their infant mortality and uninsured children rates are nowhere near as bad as Texas’.
Yeah, I’m actually surprised there were no Romy and Michelle’s references (until Talena’s comment). Hello, TIME AFTER TIME? Post-It Notes? Quick-burning cigarette paper? ALAN EFFING CUMMING???
I went to mine about two weeks ago. I hope more of your friends show up than mine did. A lot of people still looked the same. Have fun!!
