I instinctively slapped you across the face and have kind of felt bad about it ever since. Kind of. Now I defend my friends with words, not violence.

Okay wait, when did you slap Shannon?
Must know.

It must have been freshman or sophomore year, because it was something in relation to you. I don’t remember exactly what, but…
It was in the Commons, right outside of the drama room. (Did we really call it the drama room and not the auditorium? That’s what’s in my head.) It was crowded – probably right after school – and I slapped her and her glasses flew off her face. It was a totally instinctive response, which delighted the onlookers and made me feel like a bit of an ass.
Or am I revising history? High school is kind of a blur. Not the happiest time in my life. :-) (I’m having a really hard time not making all of these entries about college and work. Mostly college.)

You’re revising history! That wasn’t Shannon! That was Buttass!

Also it wasn’t in the Commons, it was outside. At least, that’s how *I* remember it.
One of us has to be right.
But I know it was Buttass because it was right after he broke up w/ me (a good thing, in retrospect) ON MY BIRTHDAY. After getting a free Olive Garden dinner, natch.
Also, Shannon didn’t wear glasses, as far as I can remember.

What the fuck kind of timestamp do you have on this blog? It is NOT 3:01 a.m. Stop trying to pretend you live in Europe.

Yikes. Good lord, woman!
Okay, first, I’m glad you remember my life because, clearly, I do not. This was definitely inside though. Unless somewhere in my youth and childhood I was a tad more aggressive than I recall and have multiple incidents of slappage.
…Which is probably entirely possible, come to think of it. I used to be one angry, angry girl.
And this is the first post with comments and thus the first to show a timestamp. WordPress defaults to GMT. Cut me some slack!
Besides, if I was going to pretend I lived in Europe, I wouldn’t go GMT. I’d go +1. That would put me in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic or Italy. Infinitely happier than the UK.
And now you’ve just depressed me. Why don’t I live in one of those places? Oh, wait. I have to campaign for Obama this fall. After that, why won’t I live in one of those places?
(Timestamp should be fixed now.)
Now, what the hell to do with this post…?

You could keep the post and just edit the title and put an asterisk saying “see comments.” Or you could do nothing. :)
And even if you felt like an ass after slapping him, I still maintain that it was one of your finest moments.
