I was going to set a reminder to post this on June 12th but I got caught up with the move and other things. June 12th 1998 was a big day for me for two reasons. First, it marked the release of Can't Hardly Wait, which in my opinion is the ultimate 90's teen movie since so many prominent 90's teen actors are in it. Also, I had a huge thing for Jennifer Love Hewitt at the time but it was thanks to this film that I discovered the beautiful Lauren Ambrose. I was also impressed that a teen movie from 1998 used a Yaz song in its big closing scene.

June 12th 1998 was also the day I graduated high school. The picture above was taken the next day. I remember the day I graduated very fondly. I slept in a bit and my friends and I skipped graduation practice in the morning to go see Can't Hardly Wait. We had lunch together then went to the ceremony and then bummed around our various graduation parties, collecting presents and eating until we could eat no more. I honestly felt like I was on top of the world. I guess a lot of people do when they are 18 and have their whole future ahead of them.

10 years later, here I am. I feel like I've come a long way since then in some areas, not so much in others. I'm starting to get emails about the big reunion coming up. I'm kind of freaking out about seeing certain people again. I'm also excited. I keep asking myself where all the time went. I've also become super nostalgic, hence the renting of Can't Hardly Wait and browsing old friend's profiles on MySpace and Facebook. At least in this digital age we live in hyper-nostalgia is easily cured.
