As a matter of fact, that would be why I left high school!! I totally understand the avoiding people. I have to do it all the time and I live here! haha, I hope you have a safe trip and it sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I definitely do believe life would have been totally different if I know what I do now. Homecoming queen??

For reals?? Oh dang... yo...Homecoming Queen Crown? For reals?? Oh dang... you were soooo much cooler than I was. But who knew even the homecoming Queen had anxieties and dissapointments. I guess we all really are just human though I could swear that some of those kings queens princes and princesses were part extra-terrestrial with what seemed to me to be super-human social ease and popularity. Awe well, pardon me, I know that I may be getting off track a bit with what this post is really about. I actually really like your writing in this post. I think it is very relatable (except for the homecoming queen crown part- haha). I'm happy for you that you have such a fun adventure coming up that I know you have been looking forward to for a really really long time now. Is Bakersfield really far South? I'm wondering how far it is from Placerville. Anyway, I am sure you will be really busy with so many people to see.laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373453555422710972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36770392.post-10623653974605634202010-07-08T11:37:20.654-10:002010-07-08T11:37:20.654-10:00I am glad I am not the only one that gets embarras...I am glad I am not the only one that gets embarrassed when I think of my time there (although I do love it).

After going there this last week I realized I could totally live there because I really truly actually enjoyed it! I never thought I would feel that way...but I did and I realized that I love Bakersfield! haha Bakersfield pride all the way! But you are right, there are funny awkward memories that will always linger....but there are good ones too that just make it more exciting to go back to the good ol' home town!Anna K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06825114539641019541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36770392.post-91320053372299254422010-07-08T09:12:47.474-10:002010-07-08T09:12:47.474-10:00i can't decide if this post makes me wish i ha...i can't decide if this post makes me wish i had a hometown or glad that i don't have one. well, which is it!<br /><br />but seriously, parents with a pool! that makes up for any discomfort you may find there.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685736814419737593noreply@blogger.com
