Just unloading some thoughts and events before I turn in for the night.

I joined Facebook last month, and didn't really start using my account until recently. Imagine my surprise when I checked my email last week and found that a boy who'd been in my 8th grade Math class sent me a friend request! I haven't seen Scott since I was 13. And yet he not only remembered me, but found me on Facebook despite the fact that my name and appearance have changed somewhat since he last saw me. Well OK, in the face I look pretty much the same, only now my eyebrows aren't freakishly bushy anymore, I've learned how to apply makeup properly, and my hair is dramatically shorter, less straggly and more highlighted. Plus, I don't have my first name listed on my profile, just my middle name (Anne) and my married name.

And I also got a friend request from Jennifer, this drop dead gorgeous girl who graduated a year after me. OK, so she used to be my hairdresser, but I guess I was still kinda surprised by her friend request due to the fact that we used to be on complete opposite ends of the social ladder; Jen was part of the "in" crowd and I was a social outcast. I can't believe that after 14 years, I still tend to think like a teenager sometimes, lol. I mean, really. We're in the real world now, where there is no "in" crowd

So anyway, I was searching facebook this weekend for other people I went to school with. I was browsing the list of names when I came across one name that stood out: David Ziegler. I had a crush on David in high school...for a little while, anyway. He wasn't exactly good-looking or popular or what have you, but I fancied him for other reasons; he was smart and ambitious, a straight A-student who was well-rounded and seemed like a nice guy.

So anyway, when I saw his name, I immediately sent him a friend request...and the next day, I saw that he'd accepted my request. So I was browsing his profile, and got a big surprise. Under "marital status", he stated that he was in a relationship with another man Back in high school, I never even considered that he might be gay. In fact, he had a girlfriend at the time...who coincidentally looked like a boy, LOL! In retrospect, maybe I should've sensed it. David and I used to participate in our high school's "Medieval History Fair", and he didn't seem to mind wearing tights I remember my mom commenting that she thought David seemed a bit "feminine". Oh, whatever, I'm happy for David. If he found a nice guy and they're happy, then that's what matters.

And getting off that subject, I got my hair done today, and I feel purrty! My hairdresser took pics of me to use in her "look book" that she's making for customers to flip through. That little photo shoot was fun. But I hardly ever like the way I look in pictures, lol. But she said she'll do any necessary photo retouching and that I'll be able to make prints of the pics if I want to.

Tomorrow I'm going up to my hometown to spend the afternoon painting with the local art league. That'll be fun. And plus, it's a great way to keep my mind productive and occupied. As I've said before, idle minds are the devil's workshop.
