Blast from the Past

I was cleaning out the drawer in my desk, and I found a letter I wrote to myself at the end of my sophomore year in high school. My english teacher had us write letters to ourselves and she told us she would send us to them when we graduated. And she actually did. I had forgotten about it. It really made me laugh.

"May 29, 2003

Well, that was it. Haha. Let's see...Brandon was this guy I dated most of my freshman year and into part of my sophomore year. He was a jerk. I won't get into it, we'll be here all day. The whole double trouble thing with Amanda goes with being her twin too. At our high school they have spirit week the week of homecoming, and one of the days is to be someone else's twin. That year I was twins with Amanda. We made t-shirts. They said "double trouble" on the back, and on the front it said "2x the fun" and then we each had a number on the back of our shirt that when we stood together it said "20-02"...since it was the year 2002, if you couldn't figure that out. Hehe. It was great :-D Dating Josh was just...I don't know, it was right after Brandon, I suppose he was more of a rebound than anything else. Dan had a crush on me for a while, and I gave him a chance, and that didn't work out at all. It lasted less than a week, he's just more like my brother, so it was too weird. Sean...it didn't last too long, we didn't see eachother at all...and it was before he went all...like he is now. Amanda moved that summer to New Orleans. :-( I got good enough grades to get out of all of my final exams. I of course still had my braces. I didn't get them off until the beginning of my senior year. Ugh. I sat with Andy, Tony, Josh, and Larry in biology. They liked to tease me. *shrugs* Jillian came back to America! We befriended eachother. Haha. I met Megan Murphy too. She didn't stay in Blacksburg too long. Amanda and I threw Dan a suprise party. We got all this pink stuff, because we always teased him about hanging out with all girls all the time. Hahaha. Matt asked me to Prom, and I went with him. Not such the best time in the world. Graham had asked me out earlier in the year, and I said no, and then I started dating Josh. He was all, JOSH IS SHALLOW!!! And wrote me some pretty rude things, and I got mad, and we didn't speak to eachother until the end of the year. "Cutie" actually was my current boyfriend...aka...Kevin. Hehe. She had a crush on him (she might actually get mad at me for writting about this, but it was like YEARS ago). I don't know what I confused Jillian about. Haha. Um...the movie bunch thing, we just saw movies a lot. Haha. French II was actually probably my best year in french. But it still sucked. So glad that's over. And Dan and Ornela falling...haha, poor kids. We went there to take pictures of flowers for biology. They were okay though, I think there might have been a few scrapes and bruises. Then that whole birthday thing, Amanda and I filled Pauline's locker with that pink ribbon stuff and hid one of those candles that play "happy birthday" over and over so she couldn't find it to turn it off. Then we went to each of her class rooms and put a balloon and a happy birthday note at her desk. (well, we asked her teachers in her later classes to put it on her desk for us) It was pretty funny, because she hated acknowledgement of her birthday. Though I think she appreciated the thought. Too bad she likes to just throw away friends now.

Sorry if this was boring...but I'm bored. Kevin had been at work for like 6 hours now, and I have nothing else to do. Haha.
