There are far worse things...

Let's begin with a little background, shall we?

Aside from the 52 or so pounds I have put on since high school, I look pretty much exactly the same. Oh, my face looks older, sure, but my hair is the same length-ish, same basic style (brush and go), etc. I am very easily recognizable to those who knew me in high school. In fact at the last reunion I attended I was in the running for the "hasn't changed since high school" recognition or some such.

So recently I finally joined the Facebook. Mainly I did it to connect with my regular friends, rescue friends, family, etc. I hadn't really considered that I would encounter people I went to high school with. So I became Facebook Friends with an actual friend from high school I still talk to. Before I knew it, I had Facebook friend requests from people whose names I recognize from high school, but have no real clue who they are. What the hell? Not to be bitchy, but we weren't friends back then, so why now?

At any rate, I have had fun using their pages to find all kinds of people I knew from high school (note I have extended only 1 friend request to someone I was actually friends with back then).

Let me just say. There are far, far worse things in life than looking almost exactly as you did in high school. Trust me.
