Nox posted something recently about going through her high school yearbook and reading some of the comments. Naturally, this made me do the same with mine. Not that I'd actually post the comments people wrote in mine, because 98% of them are random phrases that make absolutely no sense except to me and the people who wrote them, but -- since that was the year I got my first radio gig -- it was interesting to see how many people wrote about listening to me on the radio and how sure they were that I'd turn up on some station somewhere. More than 10 or so years later, it turns out they weren't too far off... The thing that, of course, hammered it home for me was reading my own senior profile. Yes, definitely filled with nonsensical phrases that still (at least) make sense to me, but the kicker was my senior quote: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." This was frequently said right before I inadvertently caused something to blow up or catch fire. And more than 10 or so years later, I still say that right before I advertently cause something to blow up or catch fire. It's almost comforting to know that despite the maturity, I've just become more of who I am over the years. And the funny thing is, when I told the line to one of my co-workers today, she said, "Wow... you really are pretty much the same person you were in high school, aren't you?"
