Has anyone noticed that I'm a little obsessed with high school? I mean, it really does not matter how old I'm turning on my next birthday; I am perpetually 14 years old. Except for the times I’m 15…or 16…or, well, you get the picture.
I’m not really stuck in the past. Yes, I enjoyed high school (for the most part) and have mostly forgotten (suppressed) the bad things about it. And I do like teeny-bopper movies. Annnd...I’ve been known to read a young adult novel or two. But honestly. It’s not like I want to go back to that time in my life.
I think it’s just that the high school and college years are so overly emotional and dramatic that they automatically create distinct and potent memories. At least they did for me.
And so, when I think of my favorite stories, they often come from that time in my life. Maybe I should spend some time telling you stories about my 20s, though. Just so you don’t get together and do an intervention or something.
Although…I haven’t written it yet, but I’ve got a big Young Photo post coming up in a couple weeks. So, look forward to that. That, and a review of the HSM movies, should I ever give in to my inner 14-year-old and watch them.
What about you? Do you have an age that you revert to, even if just in your mind or your prominent memories? Or your movie choices? It could be that, too...
