High school has been stalking me lately. In odd ways.
Today was the latest episode of that - I was on the B train heading for home when I looked up from my magazine in time to notice a few people barrelling through the just closing doors. One of them looked somewhat familiar, so I said his name. He turned around and turned out to be a guy I knew (and yes, had a small crush on) in high school. It took him a minute to recognize me, but he did! We conversed for awhile, talking about what we were doing and had been doing in the amount of time since we had seen each other. He also has a younger brother at our old HS, so I got to hear about all of the changes going on at Murrow. He's a bit pudgier than he was back when he was a guitar God with half the senior class in love with him, and dating a girl I never would have expected that he would date, and the significance of the hookup will be of no consequence to anyone but the other friend from hs I recently got back into touch with. Still, it was odd- we swapped email addresses and after checking a few minutes ago saw that he wasn't full of shit when he went on about keeping in touch. One of the things we talked about were people we knew back when, who we were still in touch with and all of that.
Last week I got to have dinner with a pretty good HS friend that I had fallen out of touch with over the college years, who just happened to start working in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quasisonic's place of business. It was great to see her, but also supremely weird - in some ways, it was as though she hadn't really changed at all since high school. Which is a good thing, mind you, as she's one of the most honestly and effortlessly cool people I've ever met, but still bizarre that she was still so very much the same. The other people I've known from HS, like whtegrlwthehair (and angelicillusion, even though she's technically from elementary school) have changed in certain ways that I've noticed over the years, but maybe I'd feel differently if I hadn't seen Catherine for 5 years (perish the thought!) and then just randomly ran into her again on the street. She's still as awesome as she was in high school, only she's not 16 anymore. All the cool things that made her who she was are still intact - sense of humor and style, impeccable taste in coats & music, etc, but the something different I can't put my finger on has to be maturity of some variety. It's odd how things, and people change.
My high school has an entry on friendster...and a disproportionate number are all people from my year. I'm going to post this and see how everyone has or hasn't changed. And I think I just found another person I regretted losing touch with on friendster...and she just might have an LJ, too.
Small world after all.
