Old Skool Friends



I thought I'd catch up some of my old classmates on what I have done since graduation day in 1993 especially since I have been adding many of those fine people to my Facebook.
After graduation, I began art school in DC as planned, but at the end of the second semester I had an odd experience. I was shooting some photos for Photo 1, an assignment about capturing the architecture of buildings. This landed me in a seedy neighborhood in the south east DC. There was a curious old factory that looked pretty nifty with it's barbed wire and "STAY OUT" sign, I snuck in the fence and looked thru a filthy window when my eyes were burned by an intense light. I was overwhelmed by both gamma rays and X rays causing me to be overexpose to ionizing radiation and leaving me with a few spiffy super human powers such as the ability to fly and I can breathe under water.
As you can guess the government tracked me down pretty quickly and I worked for some very covert operations around the world. I basically became an international spy with go-go boots.
On a visit back home in PA in 1995, I met Ian and we were hooked on each other. I wanted to lead an average life of anoniminity. I sought for my powers to be reversed sacrificing the sweet pay check, but love is just right like that!
In 1998, we added our first baby to our family, we got pretty hooked on babies and now we have FOUR AMAZING CHILDREN(three boys, one girl.)
OH, after the super human power reversal process, I began to have rare sensitivity to all carbon based life forms(sucks for me). This is intensified by beer.
:)
Wasn't that way more fun than saying I dropped out of Art College, got married and had four kids, and work part time at a gas station at night to reflect Ian's hours so we don't have to put our kids in daycare?
-that in my non-mom time I write songs about a Harry Potter character and that when my oldest was 7 he wrote songs and performed ALOT. My family is in two documentaries, I've only seen the one We Are Wizards(wearewizards.com). That I am currently writing Harry Potter and non-Harry Potter folky/punk stuff and play out as much as I can?
I believe my real story is full of super power, as I am sure your stories are too- even if they aren't as glamorous as being an international spy!
Hmm I don't know, but something is really cool about learning what you guys are up to. We came from such a small town and school, we saw each other almost everyday growing up and in that, maybe we are each part of each other's puzzles, these puzzles are what bring us to an online social network, right? yo!
