How To Age and Still Feel Young

I never thought it would come to this, but i'm going to my 15 year high school reunion in September. I was definitely in NO WAY outgoing or even remotely cool back then. Hell, i'm still not...maybe just a touch more openly gay! I was pudgier and looked like a lesbian. :) It should be interesting as i've only had sporadic contact with two people from school and they are the fine folk whom i'm attending with.

In typical fashion, it starts with an icebreaker at a local bar which i'd never heard of until I got the notice but it turns out I drive by it everyday. Just goes to show how perceptive I AM! Then the next day is a dinner at Twin Oaks Country Club. I remember going there once for a wedding reception when I was about 8 years old and REALLY loving the carrots and dip. Amazing the small memories we latch onto but forget the big things sometimes.

I have no doubt it will be a good time. There are so many great people whom I haven't seen in years. But at the end of the day, i'd much rather go to a grade school reunion. I was with those people for 8 years time and we all knew each other before things got cliquey. It will be 20 years next year for that.

Woo! You know I'm rooting for you and hoping the reunion goes well! Now I realize it's a few months until the big event - plenty of time to get nervous and sweaty palms and other things you needen't worry about...

15 years huh? You're just a kid! :)

I hope your experience is different than mine.

I only went to the school I graduated from for 2 years and most of my friends were a year older so there wasn't anyone I wanted to see and I didn't recognize most of the people. There were no name tags so you couldn't tell who was a student and who was a guest. So we had a beer and left. I didn't even talk to anyone.

I too wish I could go to a reunion with the kids I went to grade school with, now that would be fun. Maybe I'll see if that's possible the next time a reunion rolls around.
