"Friend" in the term I think of would be an inappropriate name to give our current status but in the Facebook terms I'm sure it perfectly fine. I had a look at the profile of this person and the photos they have and I can't find the person I went to school with. This person is completely different.<br /><br />One photo allowed me to see their smile is sort of the same but the face has changed. It's so odd. <br /><br />It got me thinking about the girl I was at school and wondering if I have changed at all. I don't think I have. I always knew I was vanilla and my life has reflected that really! I don't mean that in a negative sense but some people have done things and been places I have never thought of. How did the skinny girl who smoked instead of eating, who had theories about the death of Kurt Cobain, who hated Home Economics, who was bullied, who thought she wouldn't be able to cope without Mel and Claire and who didn't have a boyfriend, become Mrs David Parkin?<br /><br />I hear people talk about books I have never read or discuss philosophy and I can't follow it sometimes. If I had taken a different route would I be the same person now? If I had stayed on at 6th form would I have gone to University and become a writer, living in genteel poverty with 16 cats and a leaky ceiling? If I had gone to college and studied Art would I still be living with my mother at 25?<br /><br />Do I need to read these books you "should" read before you die? Do I need to know what Nietzsche said? Do I need to know the periodic table? Some people say you do and look down on you for not.<br /><br />If I had done any of these things or learnt any of these things would I be sitting in this house right now with the man I love downstairs, the books I love on the shelves, the smell of incense burning on the windowsill and the bouquet of roses and lillies Dave bought me for no reason at all?<br /><br />I think I did ok. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bethybabes:45008 2007-09-19T15:43:05Z 2007-09-19T15:43:05Z Got the date for my ultrasound. 2nd October.
