Thanksgiving is this week and I'm going home. This visit will serve as sort of a reunion. I'm going to see people I havnt seen in YEARS (I'm talking 7-9 years). I'm so excited, I have a feeling there will be lots of drinking and laughing..something I'm in dier (sp?) need of. I recently ran into a girl I went to highschool with, we both moved to SD shortly after gradutation. We saw eachother today for the 2nd time in 4 months.. I think the universe is telling us something, that maybe we were destined to be friends.
We got to talking about highschool friendships and animosity. We wondered about growing up (and never moving away from) a town like Sacramento. When all of your peers are the same age, you all turn 21 at the same time. With a max of 30 bars (and even fewer hip ones) your'e bound to run into the people friends (and enemies) you went to highschool with. Do those relationships carry over into the 20 something's social life (ie bar scene)? If so, are the bars just an extension of highschool? Feelings cannot be turned on and off like a lighbulb. If you do not move away from your hometown, at what point are you able to just let go of harbored resentment?
