Not sure how we ended up connected, but noted that only one of us has ever initiated conversation. Not surprised.
We've known each other since grade school, but were only "friends" for part of sophomore year in high school when I experimented with sitting at the Mean Girls table. You know, the pretty, rich, and popular girls who treat everyone like shit.
What an awful dynamic. Having infiltrated the group with an eye for studying group dynamics, I noted that the Mean Girls always keep a few "lowlies" around to use as scapegoats and target their aggression toward. (I was not the lowliest, but probably third or fourth from lowly.) The lowlies were hand-picked and groomed by the mid-level girls to boost their status, and to keep them relatively safe from the scorn of the queens.
I don't like cliques. At all. And I couldn't tolerate watching how the lowliest was treated on a day-to-day basis. So I went rogue, and became the loner-butterfly that I still am today.
Interesting to see that you're "friends" with that girl you tormented so many years ago.
Anyhow, it's been something to have a peek into how your life is going, and to see that you married and had kids (twins+1!) with a guy from high school. Hope that hometown hierarchy you set up so many years ago worked out for you... and glad I got the eff out. Ta ta.
