there are still a few fluffy snowflakes falling, but now it's so sunny i almost can't watch tv. almost.

The mean girl from my Jamaican high school denies being stank, and swears she always liked me. Which, really, is what I'm mad at. I'm not mad at anyone for what they did to me during school. Just don't pretend as an adult you didn't do it. That's rude. You don't have to bring it up, but don't lie.

I have one person that I really badly behaved to, and...I'm not bringing it up. We've caught up on FB even though we stopped talking in school. We're good. But? If she asked me, I'd admit to my cold behaviour. Which coincided with her father's death. Ouch.

I wonder if the guys who threatened to kill me, persistently and aggressively, in high school are on facebook. I should look!

One of the guys who spent most of high school writing rape threats on my locker tried to friend me. No message or anything, just a friend request. So much no.

Yeesh. Why are kids so awful?

I bopped over there, but then I couldn't remember their names, and figured, yeah, probably for the best.

I need to apologize to a male friend from hs I totally ditched for another guy who wouldn't give me the time of day. He's married with kids now.

Anybody write press releases? I'm trying to craft one for a fundraiser we're doing for the Village on Mardi Gras. It's kind of slow going.

I find that I have no animosity for the guys who used to bully everyone in school, me included. Because when I see them now, they are among the people I've know the longest, and we all went to the same school, and somehow everyone who went to that school bonded pretty closely. And even during the rough times, they were my friends almost as often as they were my foils.

Scrappy, I think that was very classy and cool.

Having been on both sides of the bullying, I find myself in a weird psychological dichotomy. If the bullies who aggravated me came to me and apologized I'd be half "Whatever, we were kids" and half "EAT SHIT, SCUMFUCKERS!"

But I wish I could find the one or two I bullied. It bothers me to this day. I know, like you, that we lacked the experience then that hindsight gives us now. But I still feel "I should have known better." Especially since I was being bullied even as I bullied them.

Kids can be dumb. But it doesn't make the smarter adults they become feel any better about it.

I think your gesture was amazing.

Anybody write press releases?

I do.

Ginger, would you mind looking at what I've got so far, see how it sounds, see what's missing?

Sure. Profile address is good.
