tell me if you’ve ever had this happen to you. i don’t know how it happened, so i won’t try to explain what lead up to it at all. but i had this random urge to look up the names of people i knew way back as a freshman in high school on the google. this is especially strange to me because i changed schools my sophomore year, and haven’t seen any of the people from that part of my life since i lived it. is this a creepy thing to have done? i hope not, i’m not creepy, just bored with an always-on internet connection.

so not one of them had a web page. i looked myself up, and I have a webpage, sure enough. and i felt as if they owed it to the world to leave some cyber-representation of themselves out for the public eye somewhere, even though that’s not true at all. i found a few archived articles in the local newspaper about them being Ilinois State Scholars at Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School and that sort of thing, and one picture of some people i used to have classes with looking exactly as i remember, but that was all.

so i’m not supposed to bridge that gap, it would seem, with even the least bit of information. but what can you do. it did make me remember something else though. two of these guys were in my freshman year french class. it’s so strange, i knew i recognized those names from somewhere, and i finally realized it. so i find their blog from a link on a blog on the page of a band i like, and they end up being people i sat next to in class about five years ago. tripped out man. crazy style.
