One of my classmates from undergrad published his first novel. He started it when we were Juniors so 1996 probably. It is a serious work of literature. He went to Iowa for an MFA right after we graduated in 1997. I'm really quite pleased for him. I didn't know him that well even though there were only ~62 people in my graduating class.

But tooling around and looking at old classmates prompted me to look for old boyfriends, something I have almost never done before -- mostly because I don't want to remember most of my old boyfriends. Poking about I found my last ex before David, sort of. He is a therapist, which worries me. The guy I was madly in love with and therefore refused to date who still makes me a little giddy, probably because I never dated him. There are two I never lost track of and they have the most hilarious photos. I saw the two I would most like to pretend I never dated in NYC last year. Both of them got fat, but hey so did I. One looked happy and I was glad for him, the other looked miserable and I was also glad about that. And I found a random hookup in college who I refused to sleep with again when he drove 1,800 miles to see me (without telling me - just showed up in my dorm) because I was in love with the guy I refused to date, even when he asked me. I love my current boring love life so much.

My first boyfriend? Nobody knows where he is. I can't find him. I don't think I actually want to find him, but I am kind of curious where he is in every sense of the word.

I did all this with my husband sleeping on one of my feet and Wooster cat sleeping on my other foot.

I think I have my old boyfriends on the brain because writing through Allie's (my main character, not [livejournal.com profile] sundancekid!) refusal to see the point of romance is dredging up my past in funny ways.

Censorship if nothing else. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Not as angry as about other things. And I am sure their song and dance will be that this is to OMGPROTECT TEH CHILDRENS!

Whatever.
