where are they now?
i was shuffling through my high school's alumni site and found out many interesting things about my friends and former classmates.
as for occupations, many of the women are now "homemakers." many other women are "moms." some are even "mommies." they all like scrapbooking. i didn't see any who claimed to be "oprah-watching couch-warmers," alas.
one male classmate is now a fitness model. one female classmate is now a public health bioterrorism training officer. we've found the anthrax killer!
a lot of them play golf. next to "children," more than one of them has entered, "none that i know of."
one of the classmates i passionately loathed is now a venture capitalist. i would have been happier to see "shoe salesman," i confess, but i guess the vc shoe fits.
shari got married with eight bridesmaids. susan's a stay-at-home mom who likes scrapbooking. colleen is a primary school art teacher. harold is a doctor, mason sent e-mail giving no clues whatsoever, and mindy is a table-dancer in juneau, alaska.
okay, i made that last one up, but it's entirely plausible, all things considered.

the event went unrecorded. but we can re-enact it as necessary; i still have those jeans. i'm hoping one day my daughter will want to be married in them.

that whole scrapbooking thing kind of scares me. do you know what they have whole "parties" (think tupperware, not rave) to sell that crap? me, I'm going the digital route.

the thing about scrapbooking is that i find the stuff very seductive. i mean, who doesn't like paper and stickers and ribbons and SUPPLIES? when you get right down to it, i can get behind any hobby that requires a massive investment in raw materials (see also quilting).

I'm going to my 16th HS reunion this summer (no, we couldn't get our shit together for a 15th, which tells you all you need to know about our class and why we are called "Slackers"), and I'm REALLY hoping for some table dancers.
What does one put in scrapbooks? I have one with movie ticket stubs, for some pointless reason, and photo albums.

It's not the what, cori, it's the how....with scallopped edges, stickers, special glue, cute captions done in calligraphic fonts, etc.

I somehow did not believe you, thinking that we might have had different standards of dirty. Apparently not, I should have listened.
