I miss 1999. It was the last year I lived in Michigan, and it was probably the best year of my life. I don't remember so much about it anymore, and I'm sort of tired of living in memories. I love the people I knew there, and I miss them a lot, but my relationships with them, though based on memories, are nothing like the way they used to be.
I was talking to Lana the other day, and she said that she was looking forward to the Union Board reunions. I didn't say anything, but I'm really not looking forward to them. I'm sort of looking forward to my high school reunions, but not so much the Union Board one. It's apparently every two years, and I don't know if I could endure that so often. I really hate Bloomington, and I hate Bloomington people in general, but it remains to be seen how my relationship with Union Board people will turn out. I can't wait to see how fat HS people have gotten, and how many babies they've made, but I'm not sure I really want to see that with Union Board people. They're a different kind of species than I'm used to. The people that I thought I'd be getting along well with has sort of turned out to be the opposite of reality, and I'm not able to predict the office drama, like I often can elsewhere.
I just don't think it's such a hot idea to live in the past. I've moved over ten times, and I don't like leaving stuff behind. It hurts too much to hold on to it. The memories are great, but to live in them is terrible. Also, it's hard to maintain relationships with so many people when you're so busy. I sort of wish that I didn't know so many people, because I feel like I'm neglecting them all. Anyway...this turned out to be a big rant that doesn't really make any sense.
