Re: Shake N' Bake

I haven't written on here in a while either. Hopefully that changes, because I changed my e-mail verification to one I use on a regular basis.

Anyway- it WAS great seeing everyone.
I know some of you went away to school and some of you didn't. Some of you came back and some of you didn't. Some have jobs and new friends.

Coming home was wierd for me at first. You were all great friends to me, but the truth was- it wasn't high school anymore, and things had changed.
I'd spent two years with a group of people that spent their lives doing the same thing I did everyday- journalism. Not that they replaced you, but for the time- they were in the same position as me.

What WE all have in common isn't as prominent as it was since we all graduated high school- but we do all have some things that remain. And all those memories I have filling photo albums and VCR tapes can't just be erased with time.

I know many people went their own separate directions. My little group weren't waiting there for me when I got back (which of course, I could not have expected to happen, but was a shocking revelation nonetheless).

So I got the idea to get everyone together one weekend. We didn't have the best turnout ever, but I had lots of fun, and I'd like to continue doing it every once in awhile.

Even though we've changed in our own ways, Emily is right. We are technically, deep down inside, the same people we used to be no matter how we've changed on the outside. And not to sounds mushy but I still love all of you guys, and I plan on trying to keep in touch for a while down the road.

Thanks for that weekend, and for putting up with me in the first place :)
