school days... schoooooool days
i've been looking at a lot of childhood pictures lately and have decided that i miss st.james (not the person...my old elementary school).
i miss pretending that a telephone pole was a time machine and that an ugly block of concrete was the calling rock for all of the cheetahs. sometimes i think that some of the funniest improv that i have ever seen took place in the parking lot at recess. geez- we pretended to be sperm searching for an egg to fertilize!! (typing that out today- it seems so clear why my parents thought we watched too many soap operas)
i remember when we first were allowed to have real lockers and we decorated them with morrors and pictures (just like we saw everyone have in saved by the bell). i remember running across the kickball field, terrified for my life- and trying desperately to organize the lines on our way to church so that i didn't have to sit next to any of the "weird" kids.
i wonder if people didn't want to sit next to me because they though i was weird?
i miss living at katie and kristen's houses...just that feeling of knowing that you had three families who said (and really meant) that you were always welcome. i miss making up clubs for all different occasions. i miss writing songs about exotic pets, not having to worry about how much pizza i ate, and being in charge of the milk stand.
is it weird that of all my memories before i came to college- the ones at st. james seem to be the clearest?
