I don't know why....

....But I'm pretty awake today. Not too tired but functioning pretty well..... I will say though that my mind is pretty much a cluster-fuck of thoughts, words, numbers & ideas! My dyslexia is in FULL swing! I can at least say that I do remember how to write 2's though! <--(inside thing.) It's busy here but not crazy. I like it like that. Just have to do a few more things after lunch and I'll be pretty much caught up with everything.



Last night I hung out with a friend from Kindergarten. We went to the infamous "Corner Park" that I go to brown bag it at. It was such great conversation that we didn't realize the 3 hrs. had passed by as if it was 30 mins! It was crazy!!!


One thing I had to point out to my good friend was how, even if we don't see each other or even hear from each other, we can always meet up & talk as if we just saw each other yesterday. The thing that really blew my mind was the fact that most of my truly great & meaningful friendships are the ones from the people I met in Elementary school. It says alot when I didn't even go to the same school as them after 6th grade! I was still invited to get-togethers, functions & even their High School graduation!


It was really hard going to that though cuz I felt I should have been down there with them & we should have been celebrating together. Instead, my graduation consisted of us dressing in white gowns, wearing a full & half slip, white panty hoses AND heels & then taking about 45 mins JUST TO WALK IN!!!!! My graduating class had about 175 girls (remember, all-girls CATHOLIC school) compared to El Modena's 700! We had to walk as if we were getting married, no joke! AND!!! No one could cheer. At all! They even made the announcement TWICE that if you were caught cheering, you would be asked to leave or be escorted out by security.... It was ridiculous.


Anyways, I truly do treasure my friendships from Prospect Elementary, especially since it seems like most of the people I met afterward were assholes. Ok, let me be fair-- I met my best friend of all time playing softball, one of my best friends in the world I met by taking dance classes in L.A., another one of my friends is from high school & another was met through a mutual friend. Other than that, I have friends/acquaintances that I'll speak to ever so often. But the saying that it's all about "quality over quantity" is SO true!!! Took me about 24 years to realize that!


I know there's so much more to say but I must go! I'll be back, hopefully same time, but definitely same place!


Hasta Manana,
yo =)
