Dakota

I moved the couch upstairs... put some bookshelves in their proper places... books in those shelves... Before all of that, I vacuumed the floor... I got sidetracked for a good 30 minutes staring at my yearbook. Lots has happened since 2002. I kept going page by page and thinking "Wow, they look familiar." With good reason... I saw them a few hundred times each for more than four years.

It wasn't even the expected "nostalgia." I was more curious about the people that I wasn't really friends with... Sorta-friends with... People I kept away from like they were wasps.

I am insanely curious about some of them. Who else is gay? Who got pregnant? Any STD's or drug possession charges? Got married, even? Hit the bottle right after graduation? Botched plastic surgery? Best friends who now hate each other? Has a really boring, uneventful life in retail? Most importantly: do they wonder what happened to me?
