Facebook Stalkers Anonymous

Procrastination... It starts when I dread doing work. I welcome any and every distraction, and even while I study, my mind wanders until I get up and do something else. Somehow, every minor distraction seems worthwhile. That was the case yesterday, as I tried to read for my Church History class. Name and dates, nothing too interesting, and then..."Ooo, I should look up Bedford High School's facebook class of '02!" (I attended Bedford schools through third grade, after which my family moved to Bainbridge.)

I scrolled through "Beford '02" and vaguely recognized a few names, but I wasn't certain that I knew them. Then I came across my kindergarten crush, a name that I definitely remembered...

So I wrote:
"Hey, I know this is totally random, but I was looking through the Bedford class of 2002 because I went to Bedford through 3rd grade. Your name was the only one I recognized...probably because I used to chase you on the playground or something. Anywho, I hope you're having a nice life! Later, Libby"

And he responded:
"I can't believe you found me and I remember you distinctly. That's crazy. Kindergarten right? I guess you already know I am going to school right now. I live in Kent. I am engaged to a girl who I met at Akron. I am getting married January 7th! What about you?"

First of all, why are so many people getting married? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for my friends who are engaged. But when I think about the sheer number of people my age who are soon-to-be husbands and wives, it weirds me out. I can't be this old. I don't want to be. But anywho...

I was so bold in kindergarten. I chased this kid on the playground a lot, and one time on the bus I blocked the aisle and told him he had to sit with me! He was actually in my class for a few years. If my memory serves me right, he was always the fastest kid in the class, and I came in second. I think that inspired the playground chasing. I was one of those girls, the type that mothers shield their sons from for as long as possible... A playground chaser.

Well, thanks for tuning in. Leave a comment.
