So, Esther and Tobey came over yesterday. We haven't seen eachother in a while but luckily we were able to keep the catching up to a minimum since 2/3 of us have blogs. We got to talking about how this coming spring is our 10 year anniversary of graduating high school. We started reminiscing and we (specifically Tobey) remember the oddest things from high school. We were able to remember what shoes people wore with their uniforms in 12th grade. Odd that we probably can't remember what books we read in English (OK, I am speaking for myself since I wasn't in honors English- I only remember Hamlet) but we can remember such tiny minutiae about people.
For the record- I thought about it at 3AM last night and besides the Keds with the blue stripes, I also had Bass Bucks-light brown suede with the red rubber soled bottoms. They looked splendid with knee socks. Tobey- I remembered, you had converse all star high tops. Am I right? I officially open the comments up for reminiscing about the BY Class of 94 and our various styles (or lack there of). Now that I know at least 4 people from our class read this- you can not be silent. Thanks in advance. (oh, and feel free NOT to send this blog site to the class in entirety- you know there would just be too many questions to answer to some people)
Posted by peninah at November 30, 2003 02:22 PMHmmmm.... 10 years already. I feel old. I remember wearing button covers on the uniform oxfords. They were rather horrendous-looking, but at least they jazzed up the uniform somewhat.
And of course there was "the bump." I never gave into that beautiful hairstyle. Of course, I was ahead of my time because I'm totally fashionable now, and I wore my hair the same way then. :)
Wow, a blog comment. Peninah, you should be honored!
Posted by: Lara at December 1, 2003 09:47 PMI am truly honored. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Those button covers (not yours specifically) WERE pretty awful. But they seemed so cool at the time. It is scary how our perspective changes, isn't it?
Posted by: peninah at December 2, 2003 07:41 AMnope... no converse hi-tops. that was the ilana-tammy-shana o-toby m click's shoe choice. but good try.
yup. it is amazing we can remember all those little details. & it's even more amazing that we cared enough to notice in the first place. that they stuck with us is confounding.
i wonder if we noticed because we cared a lot or because things were moving slower in life back then. but i don't think i felt like things were moving slowly. do i notice as much now? i'm going to have to think about that. hm.
i really like your new blog.
later hon,
t
Honestly, I think we noticed that stuff becuase we sat with eachother day in/day out for 8 hour stretches. There are only so many notes you can take- eventually you will start staring into space, or at the floor and at people's shoes and clothes.
