Have you ever been curious about what the people you went to high school with are doing? Well, there's a website for that. There's a website for everything, these days...

So yes, I've visited this website... caught up with the lives of many people I was in school with just 8 years ago. Just... it seems like forever ago.

And truly... it's sickening. The majority of them are married, or at least engaged and/or living with the significant other, and so many of them already have children too. I can't imagine some of those people as actual adults, let alone having their own kids and living responsible lives.

And then, I start to panic a little and wonder if I'm wasting my 20s. But then... I realize I'm really not. I'm really, really not. I've done what I've wanted to do and very little I haven't wanted to do. I've lived in a couple of different places and absorbed new cultures (and realized I have so much more to see). I've gotten out of Texas and stayed gone long enough to appreciate coming back, at least for a little while.

On a pretty much completely unrelated note, last night I went dancing. But not just any type of dancing... this was country & western dancing... like two-stepping. It was a lot of fun! And I don't exactly listen to country music, either... but I had a great time anyway, and I managed to step on a lot of feet (including my own).

And now, I'd like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes of all time. "There are easier things in life than finding a good man... nailing Jell-O to a tree, for instance."
