OK, there were a few very cool girls who I've kept in touch with/reconnected with over the years, but the rest of it... crazy town. Lots of cheers and lack of testosterone. You're going to be in Ecuador?! Hells yeah we need to meet up! Yay, I need me some sweet Kerri lovin'! Gener, I never said I burned copies of The Maroon. I actually saved more than I should have... many copies of the "Knoth Resigns" issue, in fact. It's my favorite. Kerri- for reals!

That shit should have been burned upon arrival to the silly event. I still have nightmares of doing Girls State cheers in a crowded auditorium of over achieving neurotic high school girls.

Remember when you and Margaret and I were emailing each other our victories of the day? It was a cool exercise to focus on all the positive things from one day. I would like to start doing something like that again. Heather, just go crazy with it! Birth certificates, marriage documents, childhood drawings-- I'm sure Grant doesn't really need that favorite blanky anymore. Embrace the power! Melia, I love the “100 Days of Happiness” idea!

I love it. I want to go home and burn everything right now. I can see it now, Grant comes how to me throwing things into our gas powered fireplace. "Honey! Seriously, that is our marriage license! My boxer shorts! And, my pillow? What are you doning???" "I can feel it!!! I feel the POWER!!!" Amazing. I love it. I want to go home and burn everything right now.

You described perfectly how liberating it was to burn the evidence of the people we used to be. When nothing's left, everything is possible. :) I hear you on just jumping into new projects instead of waiting for the right time, or the ability to do them perfectly. If I'd taken that approach, I never would have started playing guitar. It's amazing what you can teach yourself in a short amount of time. I kept a list for a while called "100 Days of Happiness." At the end of each day, I'd write down an activity or two that had made me happy. Laughing with Carol in the parking lot of our swing dance hall. Watching Grey's and eating homemade nachos with you. The point was to look at the list regularly and commit to doing these things more often. I wrote down maybe 60 items, so it may be time to pick up the list again. And Darren, now Gill's SAT scores will forever be a mystery. An unsolved mystery that would stump even the best TV detective. Oh, does that bother you? So inspiring.

Darren they'd burn for about twice as long as yours would. Are you still on this mission after eight years? Dating Melia should have taught you standardized test scores are not important.

Mine are still in the hall closet (there isn't even a twin bed at my parents house then fit on)!
