OMG! I think I finally found someone who was my best friend my senior year of high school on Facebook. It’s hard to be certain, but I sent her a message asking if she’s who I think she is. Over the years, I have missed this girl more than almost every other person I went to high school(s) with. Odd, since I only went to that particular high school for one year (my senior year, her junior year). But she lived two blocks from me, and due to the happy error of me going to her bus stop instead of the one I was actually zoned for, we usually rode the bus to school together. And we were in Spanish V together. And I dragged her into that nightmare traveling Christian teenagers singing group. Also, I have very fond memories of her family. And scary memories of when I would watch their house and dog when they vacationed, and how spooked I always was going into their house knowing about the suicide in the basement, and my overactive imagination.

Anyway, ever since I moved away from Auburn, NY in 1996, I have missed this person and wanted to track her down. And now I think I have!

I wonder if she still has that video tape I left at her parent’s house. We had a project in Spanish class where we had to partner up and make a television show. That school had a television studio that I stupidly never took advantage of. Anyway, she and I made a hilarious show — the funniest out of our entire class — and we used to watch that tape over and over. And like a moron, I left it at her house. I’d love to have a copy of that to embarrass myself with. Then youse guys can taunt me for the rest of eternity with fun lines like, “Ay! Mi pelo azul!” And I’ll laugh and remember not all my high school memories were horrid.

So, I hope it’s her. I hope she remembers me as fondly as I remember her. I hope we can reconnect. And then, I hope she has the tape.
