In Which I Discover [the General] You Can't Go Home Again... Or Something

[serratia]

When I was 14, I joined the Mormon Church. Some of you may already know this. I was an adolescent convert, introduced to that religion by a junior high school friend. No one else in my family had ever been a Mormon before, and no one else in my family converted along with me.

heh heh, you said "Mormons," heh heh

Did I tell you that we have Mormons under the floorboards? Yep, a real-live infestation on the first floor. First a pair of "sisters," and now two of the male-type.

I turn up my TV and stomp on the floor just for fun. ;)

Ha! Now I'll stay up even later and try to google up MY old best Mormon buddy, Joe - but just to stalk him, and maybe be appalled at how badly he's probably aged... :b

I never try to look up old friends...I wouldn't know what to do about bridging that gap between then and now, and I'm such a recluse that writing or talking to even my grandparents is a chore. Eheh. But I understand your frustration - if I did reach out, I'd like there to be -some- reciprocation. Feh.

I had a similar experience last year with my high school best friend. I moved heaven and earth to contact her because I heard she was having a horrible time in her personal life and wanted to be there for her. We were supposed to meet up when I went to NC to visit my folks, even had a time and date planned. She never showed up and we heard not one word from her as to why or wherefore. I was disappointed, but not terribly surprised.

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with past friends. It is a shame that people can't just accept and love each other as they are, without fitting into some sort of preconceived mold, including (*gag*) "the save list."

Well golly, this was a masterpiece.
