But the point of this week's YA Indie Carnival is a blast from the past, from high school! Oh dear! Us Carnis were tasked with finding something that we wrote down in high school that we would like to share with our readers. Now, therein lies the problem for me, I never kept anything from school... no school books, no note pads, no stories, nothing, zip, zilch. So, what to do? Well, I could tell you about the notes that I probably wrote down all the time: S hearts M (cheesy, huh?).
S of course stands for Suzy and M stands for Michael... my husband! Yes, I met my husband when I was just a wee lass of 16, still in school, and we stuck together through thick and thin, got engaged on my 21st birthday and married when I was 22 (that was... errrrm, 13 years ago!). He's a fantastic bloke, very supportive and extremely hard working. Yes, he can be a pain in the ass sometimes but then so can I! So, almost 20 years on, and I'm still scribbling down S hearts M. Okay, maybe I'm not physically writing it down but I am mentally!
Now, if you'd like to read about some proper genuine, high school blasts from the past, then check out my fabulous fellow carnis...

Brendan Fraser... huh! Has he been in anything lately? You never really hear about him.
ReplyDeleteI think your blast from the past is awesome. Congrats to you and Michael on being together for 20 years and I think it's sweet that you guys still have the kind of relationship that still makes you want to doodle S+M :)
Thanks Dani!!
ReplyDeleteI love Brendan Fraser... well, I used to but you're right, we don't see that much of him these days do we?
Thanks for your kind words... we do have a great relationship! : )
I actually had to dig to find something myself... most of my teen writing is long gone (fortunately!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Patti! It wasn't an easy task was it? lol
