From Cool To Dumber

1. 
   Quite recently a person very close to my heart acquired a significant other. I was happy for her and everything, but eventually the thing I perpetually feared happened. I lost her. The defeat was more bitter because I did not even know who I lost her to. I’m sure he’s a nice boy. But I’m just happier hating him.
   Things reached a point where I thought our friendship was in joepardy. So I confronted her, she guilt-tripped me (another thing I predicted) and now we’er back on square one. The situation on square one by the way is such: she’s frolicking with that buster, while I’m reminiscing about the days when she was still my serene-faced, quirky, essentially non-soppy, forever on the phone with me best freind.
   While I was listing out things to her that have changed since we hit adulthood, I started realizing just how much I have morphed into an idiot. Then I felt sorry for her as she must have gone through the same thing. Though I certainly feel the same towards that ill-fated blighter, my feelings towards her have slightly mellowed. So, I made a list if things I think have changed about me that really shouldn’t have. Everyone knows how I am now. Here’s how I was when I was 13-
   
   1. I wore over-sized shirts that covered my hips, sometimes my thighs.
   2. My dad often confused my wardrobe for his.
   3. I was blissfully over-weight and kept at it. (I still am fat but not very happy about it)
   4. I had no idea eye-lash curlers, pimple zippers and nail filers existed. I had heard of lip-gloss though.
   5. I wasn’t in a relationship with a computer screen.
   6. My idea of fun was definitely not taking random quizzes on social networking systems (read: whatflavour ice- cream are u?, what Disney romance are u?). Even if I did take these tests, I wouldn’t have displayed my results. I had my pride.
   7. If a boy I liked did not notice my new dress, it did not mean that he thought I was a pug-face. And it certainly was not the end of the world.
   8. I wrestled boys and enjoyed it in a non-sexual way.
   9. I only had one pair of shoes, in black so that they went with everything I owned.
   10. I used to step out of the house with oil in my hair. Yes, I did.
   11. I didn’t give a damn about a lottttt of things.
   
   So there. What I would give to revert to my old self? Every bit of the very little I own today.
