Good Times On The Highway To Hell Part 6

Looking for the Light

My Wild Journey

I always wanted everything my Gramps had, so when I was still in the bottle, he put a small amount of coffee in it. I slurped with joy and still do. 

In high school, I was not interested in being popular or joining a sorority but somehow, I got talked into rushing for a sorority. During rush week we had to go a week without washing our hair. It nearly killed me, but one night we all spent the night at the so-called leader’s house and it was the last straw for me. They spent the night talking about their boyfriends, drinking, sex, and how they were popular at school. I couldn’t care less and left and turned the page on that experience.

I was naive in high school, thinking the cheerleaders were all goody-two-shoes and virgins. Not so much! One night while hanging out at the library, our hang spot, a cheerleader I only knew from class asked me if I would drive her around to smoke a joint. SURE! I hadn’t smoked a joint in years. We parked not far from the library and stoked away, the whole time she talked about how all her boyfriend wanted was sex. Sex and smoking a joint, wow my eyes were opened. 

The high school football quarterback wouldn’t even speak to me, I was friends with almost everyone but not him. He was above mere mortals. At the 20-year high school reunion, I looked very different than in high school and all he wanted to do was dance and get me to leave with him. It was funny. I was there with my future husband. Men tend to think with the wrong head. 

I’m keeping this post short since the other topics were too heavy for this one. You can look forward to topics like agoraphobia, dementia, driving my husband’s truck the size of an aircraft carrier, and forgetting how to drive.

    1. Hi, I’m so glad you stopped by. My grandparents kept me gounded in what was important. They were both from poor families so thing about being populat would never have crossed their mind. I’ve had times as an adult where I was popular probably because of my personality and lack of censoring but it has never been a goal. My intrest if making genuine connections for however long they lasts. I hope to see you again soon. I’m headed over to check out your blog. :)

  4. Good for you for walking out on the sorority rush. I never had any interest in those groups. It’s interesting how people who were so popular in high school become more ordinary over the years.
