collect the world

not like the movies.

If you are anything like me, you avoid high school reminiscing at all costs.

I think part of me fears that if I think about it too long, some Freaky Friday incident might transport me back to those days of awkwardness, compulsory uniforms and the endless politics. Oh the terror.

However, Hollywood would appear to want to remind me of my experiences by consistently dreaming up increasing ways to make me feel that I did not live out my teen years in a satisfactory manner. There was certainly no singing in corridors, people weren't forever walking into each others' houses unannounced and no one hatched wacky but amusing revenge plots that ended in a dramatic self-realization.
