Oh, an interesting thing... Meghan, in spanish, asked me if I went to Sagebrush Elementary. So, I say, yeah, for two years. But, apparently, she was going through some pictures of her girl scout troop (back then they called it brownies) from first and second grade, I guess. And she has a photograph of me in there, and she made the connection. Alas, I can't remember her. I remember Nicole (S., who attends Smoky, I think) and Nikki (my first best friend, who moved away) and, to a lesser degree, Hannah (the quiet one) and Kimberlee (the bossy one) and Carrie (the hyper one). But I don't remember anyone else. Oh, well. It's odd that, halfway into my junior year, I'm still finding people I knew when I was really little. I remember when I first came to Smoky it was really odd because all of a sudden I had a strange nostalgia about 5 or 10 people, and I had no idea why. Turns out I remembered them from Sagebrush. I never really placed all of them. Nicole, I remembered right away. Christine and I remembered each other but we couldn't quite place it. I have this odd feeling she might have been the girl who called me "Rothenbird". Joel seemed oddly familiar, and my mom says she remembers him because his mom, at the PTCO meetings, was abnormally pale. Shivani, although I didn't really remember, has always reminded me of an Indian girl who once came to school with a bindi and traditional dress for show and tell, and who was a level above me in spelling.
