Sometimes I find myself, sitting back and reminiscing. |
Yesterday I had a pretty surreal case of deja vu. So I was at our work meeting, and everyone was just standing around in the back room. Then suddenly, a classmate from primary school wanders in, and I was literally gaping for a whole minute. I don't know why it was so surprising; our school was in this area, so it shouldn't be unexpected, but maybe it was because she looked so.. old. It just made me realise how much time has passed.
I didn't get a chance to say anything to her because it made me speechless for a while, and by the time I recovered the meeting started. Plus I was kind of intimidated - she was so tall and looked heaps old - and I wasn't sure she recognised me so I could've ended up embarrassing myself in front of everyone. But next time I see her I will definitely go and say hi.
I feel so old. it still hasn't really sunk in that we officially graduate from high school in about two months, and I'm constantly having these sorta weird nostalgic reveries whenever I think about it.
Ok I'll stop.
There is something wrong with my brother. He just said 'fuck'. And not by accident either like when he makes up his own unintelligible songs, because he then went on and said, "ha I just said fuck, as in f-u-c-k." I swear it's not me, because I've been extra careful in front of him ever since he got in trouble for saying 'shit' in kindy. I mean, when I was in year two, 'stupid' and 'shut up' were already bad words, and 'fuck' was like the end of the world. Maybe I was just a bit naive?
