Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I sat down with a friend today and discussed how our high school lives came and went, and I remembered this website.

I remembered all the fun, the drama, and bad grammar that came with it.

It was funny how we had spent almost 2 years on Gaia, and yet we could only remember bits and pieces, never the entire experience. We then moved on, talked about our (rather embarrassing) WoW careers, our exploits in our different high schools. Generally, we spoke about how far apart we had distanced ourselves.

We're both attending the same university now, taking yet another of our numerous trips down memory lane.

It's amazing how the brain consolidates memory, really. By seeing my old friend's face again, I was able to remember everything I've experienced with him, including this site.

Maybe that's why I came back, why I always come back: for the memories.

(And I guess to see and laugh at how horrid my writing was 5 years ago.)

I don't think I'll make a return trip, however. A lull in my lifestyle is a rare commodity these days.

I wouldn't mind revisiting my childhood, though. smile
