It’s been all about high school the past few weeks.  Gi sent me a book written by someone who went to our school. I am shopping my book–largely centered on high school, and I read the YA phenomenon which shall remain nameless but has gotten me thinking all about that time.  And the few landmark crushes I had are coming up too.

A high school crush can never be repeated.  As sucky as it was at the time to have an unrequited longing for the guy two years older than me who was all too aware of the puppy dog following him around campus, I look back now and think about how fun it was.  Crushes are just not the same after one leaves teendom.

The weird thing is all this high school crush stuff has me thinking of one in particular and all these recurring themes related to him are coming up.   I saw some guy on the bus who looked just like him.  So I thought, “I wonder where he is?”  I was prompted to facebook, linked in, and google him–and he is nowhere to be found.  Oh well.  Then, last night at a house party, the song I made out with him to at some guy’s basement after a school dance came on.  All in the space of a week.

So what is this blue ribbon high school crush up to now?
