the things that come in the mail, part ii

[elsajeni]

On the same day that I got the prom-dress catalog, I got my invitation to the T.H. Rogers Homecoming. Jesus. This is all a bit weird.

I wonder what it's going to be like. I wonder what everyone else is like now. The only people I still see ever are Jesus-Stephanie, Jesse, Elizabeth, Linda, and Ben. I wonder how many people will show up. I wonder if Todd Bilderback will be there. (I hope he's caught a disfiguring venereal disease.) I wonder if Kevin is still as lovely as he was when we all came back in 9th grade. I wonder if Rachel has grown up yet. I wonder how many other people have turned out to be non-straight in one way or another. (If it's ten percent, then there should be 7 or 8 besides me.) Jeez, I'm really kind of freaked out about this. It's not as if I actually liked more than 2 or 3 of the people in my class. Why am I going?

Although of course I've just answered that question in the paragraph above.

Your icon makes me smile.

And I thought you decided you just wanted the guy to catch a plain old disfiguring disease, cause you didn't want to think of him doing the things required to obtain a venereal disease.

I don't know. A venereal disease is more satisfying, somehow.
