Dang! You think you know a guy...(HS graduation dates & concert redux)

That is all.
No, I've had some friends reveal some intense surprises. I have a close friend, one who many people thought had it all together, etc., tell me he had cheated on his wife multiple times with prostitutes. He's worked through it, etc. but I think of him every time a politician gets busted.
I think all of us have secrets. I don't like explaining goodreads to most of my friends...so I guess this is a secret. Shh.


RA - when i tell someone that my new social network is a book readers cult they look at me with a look that i misinterpret as envy but i think must really be disbelief

But yeah, I take a long time to get really comfortable/close with someone, so I have a lot of people I'd almost consider friends, who I don't actually know that well. I have one very close friend, though, who I think once in a while tries to keep a secret, but they almost all eventually come out. My last ex, though, is now one of my best friends. We became very close very fast and had a pretty intense relationship. I know he trusts me more than he trusts most people, and still, every once in a while he'll mention something that makes me go, "I can't believe you never told me that!"
I don't think there's any such thing as full disclosure. Sometimes people intentionally hide things and sometimes they just never come up, but between the two, it's a pretty sure bet that there will always be some surprises.
I don't, either, but I sure did in 1995! See my shirt:

On the back it said, "9 out of 10 children prefer crayons to guns." I have no idea if that's true or what, but I sure loved it at the time!

The crimper was a throw-back, of course. We were at camp, so we went crazy! Watch out!
I love my huge glasses.

How old were you in 1995 Montambo? You look young here, but I thought you were the same age as me. I graduated high school in 1996.
Danielle, I'm like you. I have many friends, but few who are so close that there aren't many things they don't know about me. My two closest friends have seen me through my darkest days, and I just couldn't not tell them some things. In general, though, the people that I know only know me from the outside, and I let them believe what they may about me. I used to go around telling every new friend I met all that I could about myself. But in the past ten years I've discovered that people come and go, and the more I disclose about myself, the more they take with them about me when they go.

I graduated in 1994, Sally. So I was almost 19, here.
You're my sister's age (pat, pat).

Yay KD! Now, everybody share!

My printer is an all-in-one.

Me - '91. I'm older than youse (so far). :)
Our class song was Garth Brooks' The Dance. Thank god it beat out Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All. The Dance is way cooler.
Well Kevin, I was out of high school in 1980, and Mindy 1989 don't make me laugh.
I'd take it, but I can't see it.

Heidi, have you been talking to my wife again? She loves to call me an old geezer.

Montambo, I saw Pearl Jam in concert, too. I was in college... prolly around 92ish.

Before that, I saw Joan Jett at Riverfest Amphitheatre (she was awesome) - an outdoor concert venue.


OH! I forgot about the Blue October concert... I saw them after Joan Jett. They were great, too.
