Our Own Devon Sawa
Ever wonder where you're going to be 5, 10, even 20 years from now? It's a common wonder for many people, and for some, a common fear. Many of my friends fear that in 10 years we won't even know each other. That after our school days are done with, so too will are knowledge of each other be done with. Though for some it may seem true, for me it seems more Now & Then. I picture that in 10 years I'll have another bogus sleepover with a scary movie, nachos, music, gossip, and of course-- the ouiji board. Though in 10 years from now I'm sure there'll be some electronic ouiji board, and my cds will be outdated, I know we could find a way to have a good time.
I guess it was a year ago when I thought that it'd be cool if all my friends and I wrote about where we thought everyone would be in 10 years. Just recently I read it again, and it's funny how even in a year things can change. It'll be really funny in 10 years to see if any of it was right at all.
But anyway, back to my point. Me and my good friend Jill, who tends to have shared most of my memorable experiences with, were talking. (Imagine that). And I mentioned how our lives will be like those in Now & Then and we'll have a great reunion and reminisce of summers past. But in Now & Then there was a certain boy that we all love; a certain Devon Sawa. I used to dream that when I'd play basketball in the cool summer night he (or some astonishingly handsome young guy) would walk up and steal the ball, tell me how I shoot good (for a girl), and then kiss me on the swing. Well so far, it hasn't happened. To any of us. Could be that we don't play basketball that much, but that's really not the point here.
So what we want to know is this. Where is our Devon Sawa? Where is our cute guy that throws balloons full of pudding at us? Where's the guy that rides his bike with his ugly little brothers? Where is our Devon Sawa asking us "Can I kiss you?"? And most of all, where is that young little blond that goes skinny dipping in the lake??
