I'm really depressed right now, and it's because I've just been plunged into the past. I hadn't realised just how far behind me the legion was, and unfortunately when I think of all my times there, my major impression is a bad one. It was a wonderful thing, though, and I made some amazing friends there. Some of which I hope to keep for a long time. Raymond and Dave want a big Legion reunion, with everyone from the original legion there. I think this is an obviously ridiculous notion, but they thinks it could work. For saying I didn't want to spend the day with people I dislike, I was told I was immature. I don't see how though, for all the other things I could be doing, I choose it reliving the past with a group of people I have no interest in repairing my friendships with. Is it so immature? In economics, we learn about something called "Opportunity cost". The opportunity cost is what you give up to do something else. For example, I could spend the day with the old legion, or I could study (hahaha). If I chose the legion, my opportunity cost would be studying. And to be honest, studying sounds more fun.
When I look back, I feel so sad. I only just realised how distant and old the memories are to me, I've been through so much since then, and I feel a lot older. It's strange how much a few months can do to a person.
I should forget about the past again, like I did before, and continue the way things are going. There's no point in getting depressed about an old life.

If that's immature then I'm the greatest lover in the world ever. For god's sake, I'd rather hang out with my sisters for the day, while they're high on sugar and driving me insane. But that's just me...
Lol, you're not the only one!
Personally, I don't really mind it, but I don't think the meet will be a roaring success when it happens. I'm too stuck in my ways, I'm not very good at striking up conversations with people who I haven't spoken to properly since last summer, and they trying to hold it the day I get back from speaking French for a week. Not brilliant.
More to the point, i think everyone has sectioned off into groups and are now sticking to them - the 'Legion' meet will break apart because everyone will just section off as always. It happens every day at school - us drifters in 6th year are willing to talk to everyone, but there are now two distincts groups which drift apart by lunchtime and force you to choose. I'm willing to bet that, if we don't stick with either group soon, we're going to become a group of our own. So, I don't know, a big meet's a nice idea but I don't see it being a roaring success.
Dammit, I said 'roaring success' twice. Talk about an extensive vocabulary.
Extensive or expensive?...No sorry, you're right, extensive.
I agree that it won't really be successful. You've got a lot of people going who have completely grown apart from each other. I think the point was to get everyone in the legion together again, but I'm not going, as a few others aren't. And as much as David tries to convince Harrison, he is steering well clear! I don't know, it seems pointless to me. Leave the past in the past, it was fun while it lasted but it won't work anymore.
Ahmen to that.
AH!! MEN!!!
Couldn't resist.
Is that the anonymous I think it is? Because if it is, I still have some ear-bending to do!
So everyone hates each other. Let's eat fudge.
Fudge sounds good. And of course we all hate each other! We're a group of disfunctional ex-friends, one of which happened to delete me from myspace for reasons beyond my ken!
There's a mistake in there somewhere.
Happy Halloween folks.
