ARGH! Woe is me! :(

I love reading the local paper & seeing articles & blurbs on people I used to go to school with or just people that I know. Although it sorta makes me sad to realize that all of us are still living in this area. I personally feel the need to get the hell outta here.

As fun as it is to read about what people are up to now, it really irritates me when facts are WRONG. *Especially* when they involve me. This is going to sound petty, but I really don't care, it sorta threw me off when I first read it. One of my fellow high school grads has been performing on a improv team ever since we graduated six years ago. The group made the paper once again because now they are touring with some type of program, etc. So what this bugs me? Nothing. I'm not jealous. What bugs me is the fact the paper pointed out that he was student council president before graduating from our high school in 1998. Umm… how about NO HE WASN'T!

I was.

He didn’t stay after school two hours a week working on student council stuff. He didn't sell one single dance ticket or Spook-a-gram etc. Hell… he wasn't even on student council!

I know that this is an incredibly small thing to be making such a big deal out of it. However, it bugs me because I had invested so much time into my role, only to have it "taken" away from me by the local rag. :(
