rampaging kong
so i'm having one of those days yet again where i reflect on the aspect that i am getting old. i think it's cos there's been a sudden increase of birthday's and weddings that will be happening soon which triggered this sudden vulnerbility of old age seeping through the cracks of my brain.
BUT....
as olga can probably attest to this, i have on many, many occasions uttered the phrase...
"that was high school. that happened over 5 years ago. people should've grown from then, matured from that time."
but in a recent conversation with a friend, it jogged my realisation that the above phrase, is in the majority, just really a theory for some. it seems most have hung on to their childhood/high school neuroses, naivety, behaviour or what not. it would seem plausible that in the years that has passed we would've gained some insight, some experience to handle "adult" situations better.
i think what i am trying to get at here is that people change, situations change, life change. why are we so intent on not changing with it? it seems that this streak of stubborness and aversion to change leads to bad feelings and bad things said.
the 2001 macrob graduating year has their 5 yr reunion coming up this april. i wonder exactly how many of us have ended up not changing much from high school and how many of us have.

wow. i'm shocked that you have this level of depth. kidding. my boob size hasn't changed since year 12...does that count?? [olga]
oh and our reunion is NEXT year (2007), not this year. apparantly the 5 years have to have passed fully or something like that.
