Stalking my Past 5

I am a stalker...the FB, instagram type.  

I realized last night that I use social media to:

a.) keep track of my family and current friends 

b.) to see what all the people from my past [high school] are doing, or not doing, with themselves.

I was not one of those people who loved or enjoyed high school   I in fact almost hated it.  I wasn't popular nor was I unpopular.  I would, for better terms, say I coasted through the social status.  I had a few really close friends, some of whom I still would consider my best friends,a lot of acquaintances, and a lot of people whom I never spoke to.  

I was always curious about the popular people.  

I never really knew what made them climb the social ladder.  Most of them weren't above average on the looks, brains, or talent scale - but they still were the coolest people at school.

This brings me to the present.  I use FB and Instagram to stalk see what these aforementioned people are doing with their lives.  

I find it thoroughly entertaining to see what they turned out to be.  

Some are super successful, living all around the world and having the time of their lives.

Some are still in my hometown, dating/married to their high school sweethearts and starting families.

Some are just as they were before - nice, snotty, smart, just plain dumb or somewhere in the middle.

Some are absolute train wrecks.

Some have changed and turned into some pretty amazing people.

I don't know what it is that makes me enjoy this so much.  Maybe I feel a little bit of pleasure when I see that we - the coasters - are a bit more successful, a bit prettier, a bit more anything than them.  I know it isn't the most flattering picture I'm painting of myself, but it is the truth...sometimes the truth isn't the most attractive!

I don't think I'm abnormal with these stalker-like tendancies...am I?
