Looking back
I've been in a super nostalgic mood lately, looking up people I haven't seen in years. Is it age (I'm going to be 30 in April) or is it the fact that everyone is now accessible through My Space?
In other news, my high school reunion is this Saturday (we set it up ourselves this 12 year, 5 month reunion) and I am really looking forward to it. I went to a small school, only 32 people in my graduating grade, and I'm curious to see how everyone turned out.
My high school boyfriend (who extended into my first and half of second years of college) won't be there as he moved to Romania and then Greece something like 5 years ago, so it won't be that kind of reunion (get your minds out of the gutter, I mean the kind where you see a lost love and your eyes lock and ick, ok, I'm grossing myself out). But yeah, I'm really excited, which I hear is not the usual state of mind when attending a high school reunion.
So, did you go to yours? How was it?

No, it's because you are a running dog lackey of Norquist, Abramoff, and Delay.
Power to the Sheeple!

Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at November 9, 2006 05:18 PMJay, hahahahaha. Yes, that's true. I only feel what they want me to feel.
NDS, Why disappointing?
Posted by: Karol at November 9, 2006 05:23 PMMost of my class apparently was in jail or over seas. Even the four officers of the class didn't show up. For the most part, it was fine though my chances for picking up the one time cheerleader were dashed since I kept talking to her former high school sweetheart about Braxton Bragg all night long.
Posted by: Von Bek at November 9, 2006 05:51 PMI didn't go because I had already schlepped to NJ the weekend before. Plus I was tired of my ex-gf and didn't want to travel with her.
If it was this year, I would definitely go.
Oh well. Timing is everything.
Posted by: Joe Grossberg at November 9, 2006 06:22 PMI think there were five or six hundred students in my graduating class at Murrow, probably more.
I guess I'll have to wait a few more years for my reunion, which might be interesting.
I have at least one friend who is a quasi-notable radio personality on an FM station on Long Island.
We'll see whether he's achieved Rocky Allen-type stardom by the time it rolls around.
Gee, Karol, old log of 30...I can just see you, gotten to my age, all shrinken and lined, weeping sentimentally over suddenly dug up memory card...
I'm going irreversibly date myself now.
My one and only reunion was 5 yrs after school. Half of the girls were married, one of my best buddies - divorced with 2 kids. The most popular guy in class was has been killed in Afgan. My ex-BF showed up in newly acquired uniform and with a very unpleasant girl (who, as he told me, looked like me - I was offended). All teachers looked shorter and shabbier, all classmates - pretending to be someone else, like on carnaval.
That was the only reunion I went to.

Posted by: Anwyn at November 10, 2006 12:06 AMI went. The organizers thought I had died in a wreck 2 years before but were unable to verify, so I didn't get my picture on the memory board with Kenny who got electrocuted. They were happy enough to see me alive that I didn't have to pay to get in.
It was 90% preppy, and Derek was still concerned with who he was standing next to at the party. All the guys who called me a fag because I was skinny had gotten fat, and their wives who ignored me for being skinny were paying better attention to me after all.
I'll skip the next one.
