I knew a guy in high school who was really musically talented. Since we were both on the same competitive percussion ensemble I was glad to have him around, and he was a nice enough guy one you got to know him. But sometimes he could be kind of arrogant about his abilities. We all thought he would go on to maybe do drum corps or teach somewhere, maybe pursue a career in music or even write music for a living. But after graduating in 2003 he sort of dropped off the map and neither myself or any of my friends kept in touch with him. Well a few months ago I remembered the guy and reached out on Facebook to friend him. Doesn't look like he's doing much with music anymore, but guess what he's into now? Roller coasters. He posts like 3-4 selfies PER WEEK from the top of a roller coaster hill and in just about every picture he's wearing that roller coaster's official shirt. He mostly goes to the theme park down the road that has a pretty large coaster, but I've seen posts where he takes extended trips to theme parks around the country to try their roller coasters as well. Not only am I surprised to know someone in my life who's super into roller coasters like Kimmy Schmidt's mom, but I suppose it's equally as surprising that it was this particular kid, this upperclassman I used to look up to as a musician, who we all thought we'd be hearing on the radio one day. What sort of weird things are some of your acquaintances from high school into these days? Is it surprising because of who they were in high school or is it a weird thing to be into regardless? Or both like my coaster buddy?

One girl is really into guns. Like you know in Tremors, where you see Burt's basement and it's all filled with guns for comedic purposes? I think she saw that and decided that she should emulate that. She had a gender reveal party for her upcoming baby and the cake was a giant gun, to show it's a boy. Which doesn't make sense considering HER love of guns, but I guess a gun really is a penis substitute deep down. A guy I was friends with is REALLY into drugs. I think he took some experimental stuff right after high school that fundamentally altered his brain chemistry, because every post is just "Smoking weed today - hell yea!" or "MDMA Party tonight, Rick and Morty BITCH".

It sucks that we won't meet up and go on a 3 day bender in Chicago ever again.

I've seen this happen before. Be careful that you don't get swallowed up your own rear end yourself.

I've seen more "dark" wizards vanish using analmancy spells then any other dark magic. drat shame they were not taught the dangers early on from an experienced Analmancer.

One of my best friends from highschool is extremely anti-muslim now and constantly posts things from that religion of peace website with isis beheading videos when those were popular and just generally calling for the eradication of islam. Also she had a son and named it Kefka. We don't talk much anymore. Another guy is totally obsessed with herbalife and I hate reading about his son that he calls a herbababy all the time and how when they lost their house and had to sell their herbalife out of his wife's parents place it wasn't herbalife's fault, in fact they are the only thing that is keeping them going etc.

Jose Mengelez posted:the rollercoaster guy( while extremely lame) is significantly less lame than you.  Just to clarify, I'm not hating on the guy or anything. Dude looks legit happy in these pics and I'm honestly glad to see he's doin alright. It's just that I've never known a single person to get so excited about roller coasters who wasn't under the age of 16, and it's literally the only thing he ever posts about. And again, if I had to pick one person from my past to get really into roller coasters, I probably wouldn't have guessed it'd be this guy.

 After sending him this meme on Friday, a type of thing I have sent him many times before without issue and getting the expected 'lol'/'idgi', instead saying something about it being suspiciously Marxist, escalating to a weekend-long increasingly disorganized stream of texts about Marxism and memes and societal destruction unprompted, culminating last night in him thinking I was some kind of imposter and not actually me, revealing ongoing weed and amp use which are absolutely not for him and very destabilizing having apparently tricked his doctor into giving him those instead of stuff he actually needs which is extra bad bc he has an infant son, detailing a conspiracy against him by the justice of the peace, and making up seriously damaging rumors about a mutual friend and actually texting said rumors to said friend's family.
