I avoid facebook like the plague………
Rick has made some great points – and my last reunion (I only ever went to 1! HA) I discovered:
Geeks and mechanics like me are NOW more happy than the straight-A most popular kids.
Several who were flagged for greatness are unemployed and/or divorced. The “popular” ones were constantly griping about work, family, you name it. Man, those people were really sad right now.
Several (of us) who were known as loners, failures, no one will ever amount to much are quite happy with life, we smile a lot, joke a lot, etc.
Some of those who THOUGHT they were number 1 spent most of their time with their drink, head hanging at the bar.
So what – I’m a happy geek, oh, AD/HD means I have my days, and I’m really scatter-brained (yeah, I was known as that, too – NOW I know why, though, and am a bit proud of it!) but over-all, comparing myself – I feel for those people, including the ones who picked on me!
How sad – I may not forget, some of my memory is waaay too sharp for that, but I’m not against walking up to them and saying hi and getting them a drink or something. I will NOT stoop to the level they once were.
Life is just too short – I’d rather collect friends than dwell on the others.
LOL – Rick, pretty can disappear – but what’s inside the girl, that’s forever. We need to keep that in mind as we get old and gray – very few can keep up “pretty” forever.
Ed if you ever travel I80 through Iowa, give me a shout.
