H.S. peeps seeping into my dreams
My dreams have been full of dangerous escapes lately (probably due to the book I'm reading)... but oddly enough almost every one of my dreams have been full of people I went to High School with.Coincidentally, I was downtown meeting a friend for lunch yesterday and I saw Andy Wilder from High School, crossing the street. At the time I was on the phone w/ my brother, Max, too - who knows this person as well - so it was funny to stop him, say hi and say "guess who I've got on the phone!?".
Then, shortly after I got home yesterday I received an email from an old friend. Actually, more appropriately an ex-boyfriend from my Freshman year, who took me to my first prom! Boy I wish I had those photos around to show you - they're so funny. Dan & I shared, what he recalled in his email: puppy love. I think he was the first person that I thought I was in love with. He made me one of those hippy clay necklaces and made me mix tapes with Led Zepplin and The Grateful Dead.
Dan was a senior and I was a freshman and we had some really good times together... one being prom night where some serious partyin went down. All his friends had rented a condo, and a few highlights of the night (that I can remember) were people snorting tequila through a $20 bill (ouch, right? ha!), Dan jumping off the 2nd story to the first story hot tub in his tux (I actually don't remember this, but that's what he emailed sayin he remembered), and someone driving us blocks away from my house to get me home "at a reasonable time"... which by that time I think we were way past anyway! I ended up waking up at the crack of dawn and walking back to my house and slipping into bed just praying my parents didn't notice I never made it home for my 1am curfew.
Next thing I knew it was around 1pm and my parents were knocking on my bedroom door... Apparently Dan had come by with flowers to apologize for getting me home so late :) Which probably saved me from getting grounded!
Anyway, it was nice to hear from an old friend. Now can the rest of you High School peeps stay outta all my dreams already!! :p
