I think of high school as "back there". Part of the movie which is my life, a movie I am making. This is something everyone is doing these days - making their own movies. ;) This was a great piece. I liked the clip and I'm kind of pissed I missed out on those snugly fitting skirts and quaint little blouses. Not to sad about those pointy bras though.

I was kind of a late bloomer in high school as well. I'm a bit younger than you - Van Halen was hot when I was a junior, and I used to have a crush on this girl named Rae Marie Bonacci, and I used to think about her when "You Really Got Me" came on. When I went to the twentieth reunion a few years back, Rae Marie and some of the other hotties from back then start fawning over me (my wife thought it was kind of funny!). So you never know how people will turn out or remember you! It's good to get our own dark decades out of the way, as well. Have a great night! Hope you're keepin' cool. I was in NY last week, and boy was it hot! Nice post, Pia! I was kind of a late bloomer in high school as well.

I understand your isolation. I grew up in Alaska. Remote and cluster-fucked, and I do wonder if things would be different if I had grew up in a proper, exciting place. I also think its weird how high school is this sort of prism, in which the rest of one's life is to be divined from. Fuck, I hope nothing I did in high school makes the permanent record. Anyways, love the page. stickpaste http://stickpaste.blogspot.com As your lawyer I advise you to pump the dosage.

I still consider myself really lucky for that. With both of my parents in the music industry we never lived in one place long enough for me to ever get comfortable or to form any lasting friendships, until I started High School. We moved to Maryland the summer before I started High School and it just clicked. The girls I had met over the summer were, and remain, dear to me. I was really lucky that my mother was willing to turn down two promotions (a death sentence in the music biz btw, thank God she was so good at what she did. Turn down a promotion and you may as well kiss your career goodbye). It allowed my to graduate with people I actually knew. That means a lot now looking back on my gypsy youth. I haven't been to a reunion yet though. Just distance. I hope you had a wonderful evening! I had a very close knit group of friends in high school. I still consider myself really lucky for that.
