I still love you, Jordan Catalano.

An excerpt from a comment I posted on Jenelle's facebook:

I've been reading everyone's blogs from 2003-2004 nonstop for the past like 12 hours. I love reading all of the things that we thought were important when we were still teenagers. We were so poetic and concerned about the smallest things. (...ex: "I 'fell asleep' on the way home so I wouldn't have to pay toll. They made me "toll bitch" but I didn't think I should have been; I paid for a lot of the dinner.") Oh yeah, did I mention that I think we've lost a lot our of eloquence over the years? I fully do, I also loved our sense of humor. I think we're funnier now, but in a more finely tuned way. Our humor was so silly and different, that when I read our quips from back then it's like a breath of fresh air. It's like when you make a new friend who is slightly younger than you who has a cool sense of humor, it makes you remember what it was like to be that age and have a completely different view on everything that came your way. I'm going to try not to lose all of this.


Another thing that I liked about re-reading all of these was that it gives specific dates of events that are still in stories that are told today. It was great to reminisce about things that I forgot about too. There were many instances where I read about something and had to sit for second to try and remember whatever it was that person was talking about. All in all a totally wonderful experience that I am going to take advantage of.
