You've got a friend in ME!!!


There is not a measurement on this plant that can measure my horrification, and humiliation! In high school I thought I was funny...little did I know that I was also RETARDED!!!
Last night I couldn't sleep, I don't know why, it could have been the crazy book I am reading that I couldn't put down, OR that I felt like I was going to throw up because of all of the wild cheery pepsi I drank! Regardless, I found myself awake at 3:00 in the morning watching family videos. I came across some footage that me and my friend Kami made in our "younger years" aka HIGH SCHOOL! My first thought was "wow, I was so skinny, why did I think I was so fat", my next thought was paralyzed my fear that this really did happen, and that it really is on video!
I don't even know what we were doing, all I know is that we were screaming, and I was saying retarded stupid things, that should never be said, that I was dancing around, and kami was in the corner doing jumping jacks!
I was DYING! I couldn't even laugh I was just so embarrassed! We used to wonder why no on wanted to hang out with us...I now know! We were in our own little world, just just went around dressing crazy, and saying and doing whatever we wanted (and video taped it)!
Kami and I have been best friends since 8th grade. We have gone though really great times (china, high school, swim team, track, student council) together. We have also gone though REALLY REALLY hard times, but have stayed true to our friendship, and are still BFF's.
I point is, that I am totally mortified about myself...basically from 7th grade till present. So if you are thinking "jami is crazy still, and she needs to grow up"...just know that there has been MAJOR progress, and hopefully I will continue on this path!

HOW funny is this? I used to do the same things with my friends! We would make "movies" all the time!

I'm pretty sure that everyone thought that were super cool in middle school, when in reality they really weren't. This post gave me some bad flashbacks to that same time in my life. My friends and I used to hang out in the courtyard of our middle school at lunchtime and sing show tunes and dance and we thought we were so awesome! No wonder, we weren't popular and everyone thought we were totally lame. So just know, you are not alone!

Ha ha! Seriously you were hilarious! I often thought Back in the day That I wanted to be more like you. You were always so fun and fear less. You didnt care what people thought and I was so worried I was going to make a fool out of myself.

I have that very same 'THE CHASE IS ON' shirt with the rabbit that looks like the playboy bunny! Haha! Who knew! Don't worry, when I met you and Kam I thought you were in your own world too, but I still wanted to be your friend!

No, you WERE funny--no doubt. I wanted to be your friend. I was the same way. Camille and I did whatever we wanted and just didn't care...
