Okay folks here’s the scoop.
I get ready to get off line and check my email on my my AOL accounts.
Now, I have registered with gradfinder.com with two different schools.
I grew up in C Springs and went to a Jr. High School where I pretty much learned about myself. There’s something about 7th-9th grade that gives you a sense of self.
My mom was diagnosed with cancer before the 9th grade ended. (this was a school of 7th - 9th, not middle school) I was dealing with a lot of issues within the last few weeks of my jr. high school experience.
I ended up moving in with my father and step-mom that summer, my father thinking that the end was near and I needed to make friends for my new school.
Well, I made friends that summer at the country club. By all accounts I was no longer a stranger. My mother died about two weeks before school officially started.
The school year came around and the people I 'sposedly made friends with pretty much blew me off. Well, in light of that, I totally hated the school I was going to and combine that with the fact that all my real friends were going to another high school in the city I was pretty miserable.
I resented my father for three years because he wouldn’t let me go to Palmer High School where there were people that knew me and had accepted me from first grade. Sufficed to say I was a bitter little bitch for many reasons.
Well, I registered my name twice in gradfinder.com many moons ago. One for the actual high school I went to, the other with the one I would have attended.
A hell of a shock to me, two people that I loved and cared about have emailed me in the last two days! These are people from my jr. high school not high school.
These are the people that I really grew up with, knew like my family (a few men I could have seen been with during high school). These are people from happy homes but little money, something that taught me a lot since I was known as the “rich bitch” even though I never conveyed that. 'Sides my mother never bought me anything nice…but that’s a different story. My high school years were intrenched in rich little fucks that cheated and bought their way through school. This is something you could not have seen in the high school I would have gone to had my mother not died.
I am in shock! I haven’t seen these two in almost 18 years. God we all were so close with our little freaky cliques and the life…but when it comes down to it, they were my real friends. My high school “friends” knew I hated being there and knew I longed to be back with those I had been around for three-nine years.
Oh I feel so happy, I sure hope that there are more of my jr. high school friends that sign up.

Sheesh, I have a warm feeling in my heart now!
