Flashback

This is a picture of the Thespian Society of Levelland High School, circa 1998. That's me, third from the right, second row. I still wear my sunglasses on my head, still color my hair a shade called Ebony Mocha and am still partial to horizontal stripes (even if they aren't flattering). Perhaps I haven't made as much progress since I was 16 as I thought. Hmm. The good news is that I no longer paint my fingernails black or have braces. (That may be changing.)

The guy I'm touching was my best friend. I haven't seen or heard from him in something like 8 years, but I remember exactly how that sweater felt. I'm posting this mostly because I know that Amanda (and probably Whitney) will get a kick out of it. See the guy, bottom left? He was totally in love with Amanda for years. (You did know that, didn't you Amanda?)

No, not David... in love with Amanda? Who'd have thunk???? This picture is hilarious. I can't remember the kids name to the left of Billy. And, who is in the jersey next to Christy? Everybody else is at least ringing a bell. Keep 'em coming if you've got them!

Oh, and I think Bill is on myspace or facebook one. I talked to his mom at the nursing home in Levelland last year.

Yes, David, in love with Amanda. He probably still is. The guy in the jersey is Nick Taylor, who I crushed on for months. The guy next to Billy is Kyle something, I think. Bill is on both Myspace and Facebook. He's on my Myspace friends list, but never replies to anything I send him. He made his feelings pretty clear the last time I saw him that he didn't want contact. I was shocked when he friended me on Myspace. Okay, the comment is now officially longer than the post. :p

Where's Amanda? I was looking forward to her thoughts on the David matter...

I'm looking forward to them too. I don't know where she is. She hasn't posted a blog or comment in weeks. I'll email her.

HA! :) Memories!!
It's so much fun to look back at old pictures and remember those crazy high school times. I didn't get in on the Thespian action until I was a junior. I still remember initiation! lol
Do you seriously think Amanda didn't know how head over heels he was for her?!?!? :) Everyone else did.
