Happy to know that others have the same ambivalent feelings about h.s. Good for you for moving on. That hepatitis commercial was skeevy! I wonder if it was local to Phoenix or what? Wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Wash your hands after changing baby too. Cause we don't want to spread hepatitis. And we don't want hepatitis to catch you (who?) you!

Given that we're the same age, both from Phoenix and share about a million interests in common (mid-century design, vintage Disneyland, music, tons more) I'm stunned that we haven't somehow met before. (As a kid who watched too much television in the 70s, I presume you still remember the lyrics to the hepatitis song.) Anyway, hello, and I'm really glad to have found your blog. I went to my 10-year reunion in '97 (I graduated from Deer Valley HS across town, which may explain how we missed each other)...I was amazed at how tedious and kind of sad it was. Paunchy, bloated, balding former football stars in golf shirts and desperate, overtanned, recently-divorced former cheerleaders on the make, drunkenly dancing to "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight". Sigh. Though I suppose they probably had equally unflattering opinions of me, given my entertainingly atypical life choices. I have no plans to go this year but if I'm in town, I may stop by and see if any of my fellow oddballs show up. We had the outsider/geek table at the 10th, but it was pretty sparsely populated. Really enjoying catching up on your blog (the 1970ish drug store photo was especially exciting--reminded me of Revco up the street from my childhood house. I want to jump right in...being careful not to disturb anything of course) Glad to meet you. :) A friend of mine directed me here from your Last.fm page.

I've never heard of any of the other people listed there. You were cute--I would have dated ya! But I am a chick, so maybe not ;) It most definitely *is* a mullet! :)

Yuck. Yep, they had a 10th reunion too. Both were/are held at fancy resorts with a high price tag for attending. William, I couldn’t imagine having to stay stuck on campus all day. Yuck.
