Reunion

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Jorge

Eee!

Last weekend was the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the high school that I went to (well, the one that I went to for most of my high school career, as my family moved at the end of the summer before I was in grade ten).

Jared: LOL!

I am such a sympathetic person.
