I was "SO POPULAR" in college

A college acquaintance just emailed those words to me. Too funny. Too surreal. I'll never get used to it. Ever. Really. I really don't think ANYone grasps how wildly UNpopular I was before college. Painfully so. Like to the point where I understand where the Columbine killers were coming from...how their rage originated before they went off the deep end. How's THAT to make it clear? And yet I became SO POPULAR. Absolutely amazing. Still.
