Sudden Fits Of Nostalgia

NP: Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins, Sluggo!

I'm about to attend my 20-year high school reunion. This has led to some curious introspection about my relationship with the past, especially with the Rush and Fish shows a couple of weeks ago.
Normally, I have an almost disdainful ambivalence about my own past, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe I've been so programmed to look forward -- mostly by a socially tough time with the people I'm about to see for the first time in years, but much of that was my own doing -- that I'm notoriously "here and now" in my approach to both myself and others.

This has made me appear a bit aloof and even uncaring at times, in that I don't seem to want to get to know people, or have them get to know me, but I think it's deeper than that somehow.

Anyway, wish me luck dealing with my repressed youth. It wasn't really all that bad, and it was a long time ago anyway.
