Day 22: Meet in Ten Years

Today we were supposed to go up to a stranger or someone we didn't know very well and ask them to sign a contract saying that we will meet each other in ten years at a designated place and time. I was thinking about it, and I really did not think that a stranger who I chose at random would agree to sign a contract like that, unless they were very trusting, very open minded, or kind of crazy. I don't know what I would do if someone just came up to me and asked me to sign a weird "contract." It sounds terrible, but I would probably say yes/no based on what the person looked like. I would probably also think it was a joke.

So anyways, I came to the conclusion that I needed to ask someone who I know. I would probably get a better reaction, and it would mean more to me to meet that person again in 10 years, you know? Obviously I'm not going to go and ask my sister or something to meet me in 10 years, but I wanted it to be someone who I'm friends with but who I might not keep in close contact with for the next decade. So, I chose my good friend BK. We're reallllly close, but as sad as it sounds...I just don't know how many I'm going to really keep up with after high school. Especially for 10 years. It really makes me sad to think that I wouldn't be in contact with him, (and maybe I will, you never know) but 10 years is such long time. I did end up asking BK to do it though, and he thought it was awesome. I typed up the contract this morning and printed two copies out, one for each of us. Here is what it looks like:


Sorry it's so hard to read. We had to do this really fast because the bell had just rung, but it says that we are going to meet a 12:00 pm on September 5, 2017 (BK put accidentally put 2007) at his house (or what will be his parents' house then). In case he has changed beyond recognition, he is going to wear all red. I said I would wear a pink shirt and jeans. After that it says, "In case we have nothing to say to each other, here is a list of current >>hot<< topics to reminisce about." We didn't have enough time to fill that in, but I'm sure we will have TONS to talk about. And then of course, we both signed, and I don't care that you can see my last name...it's barely legible anyways. That is the ugliest signature I have ever done. But anyways, I'm really excited about it and so is BK. We're texting about it right now actually. I just hope I remember.
