New Tunes

Hey guys, back again! I know, I post here a lot but it feels really good to express myself so I think I'm going to keep it up.

Today was a really fun day. I went to a party with a bunch of people from high school, it was crazy! So many people that I hadn't seen in years, everybody talking about what they were doing, where they've gone and are going, old times and new times. We drank tons of beers and wine and got to know each other all over again. It was really cool to see some friends from high school that I lost touch with but the best part was the people I wasn't friends with and, now that we're older, finally have the chance to get to know each other.

The real reason the party was so fun was this girl Jessie. She was an alterna-chick back in high school and so we didn't really hang out but I knew her from having classes together and stuff. She was super anti-establishment and "punk" with her doctor martin's boots and plaid shirts, she even had pink hair one semester! Needless to say we were in different worlds back then but now she seems pretty cool so we got to talking. We ended up having a good time and she even lives in SF! She totally got me psyched about this band she likes, called Reggie and the Full Effect. We listened to a few songs in her car and when I got home I totally downloaded their whole catalog. I'll probably see her again at Spring Break and I'm gonna totally burn her it all on cd's.

It really makes me think, you know, how like all the clicks in high school kept people apart when we should have been hanging together. Every Friday night there were like 4 parties with 20 people going on and if we'd all been smart we could have had one huge party (at Ted's parents house or something, that place is huge!) with like 100 people all shootin' the shit. So anyway, since we didn't do that before I think I'm going to do it now, in my own way, by trying to hang out with different people. The truth is I don't fit in with a lot of the people I know in Russian Hill and I think most of Shannon's friends think I'm not cool enough for them. Oh well, life is short so there's no reason to dwell!

Here's to a new year of meeting different people (all over again) and maybe changing myself up along the way. You ready to come along for the ride? Thanks for reading!
