tbs shows re-runs of dawson's creek in the mornings right before i go to work. i caught the final episode this morning and it totally brought me back to my high school days. the show started my junior year and all the gang from high school (boys included) would gather at our friend angela's house for dawson's creek night. the boys were into it more than the girls then. we would be studying and they would be shushing us. at that time, dawson's creek kind of mimicked my life. and everyone i knew agreed (at least the girls that i gossiped about it with did). i was joey and my friend mike was dawson. we were best friends that maybe should or shouldn't get together. one of us liked the other and then the other way around. actually, maybe it was me who only held that tiny flame for mike at that time. but that is beside the point. mike even looked like dawson. we never got together, and that, in hindsight, was a good thing. high school crushes don't ever end up the way you think they are gonna.
it is funny to watch that show again now. it brings back funny memories. then you watch the last episode where they all haven't seen each other in years and they are all still friend and happy and then jenn dies and joey finally chooses a guy. blah blah blah. but it made me wish that all my friends from high school could get together and catch up. made me miss the times when crushed were the biggest drama you had to deal with, along with the history exam that, looking back, didn't really matter if you failed or not.
i always make fun of dave because he still is so interested in what happens at his high school. how the football team is doing and stuff like that. i think it is because i am kind of jealous. i didn't like high school as much as he did. i don't miss it. but i miss those little things like a good dawson's creek night.
