Reopening an old chapter.....

I had one of those jaw-dropping, oh my god moments this morning. I got a myspace
message over the weekend and finally got a chance to read it. Now, I only have a
myspace account because a piece of software I am testing links to it. But of
course I did fill out the basics, including a picture. I got a message from a
person who only uses their first name and I know that there are only a handful
of people that I have mentioned my myspace account to. All of them are TGs or
GGs that know about me so I naturally assumed that this message was one of the
many SPAM messages I get through myspace. Here is a quote from the message that
I received:

"OMG, you are beautiful! I'm jealous and I hate you :) Seriously, other than
buying great clothes what have you been up to since HS? I suppose that if I had
gone to a reunion I would know. Looks like you are happy. Glad for you. The
world is tough enough, it's good that you found some joy."

Now, after I re-read the message for the umpteenth time and picked my jaw up off
of the floor, I have to say that this is very typical of a reaction from women
of my generation (I'm 34 in case you didn't know). It turns out that this
message is from the old crew from high school. This is a girl who I used to hang
around with in high school, one of the outcasts like myself that banded together
because we were different. Of course I sent her a reply this morning. I can't
wait to read her reply.

to be continued.......
