So I was sent an email asking if I would help plan my high school’s 10 year reunion. The guy who is in charge of such things at this point is apparently someone I was mean to in junior high. (His dad is a professor at SJSU in the credentialing program and when he discovered I went to LGHS he asked his son about me. We did a project in 8th grade together, I remember none of this, and I was mean. Uhm…. ok. I guess it made a much bigger impression on the guy.)
For no good reason I am really looking forward to my 10 year reunion. I barely attended the high school. I’m barely even allowed in. Yet the reunion will have the potential for putting me in touch with people I went to school with starting in kindergarten or junior high. That part’s really kinda neat.
Hmmm. I’ll have to think about this more at a more civilized hour. 🙂
At Los Gatos?
yes
I went to my 10th knowing it would very likely be the only one I’d attend. I figured most everyone would be done with college (at least one round of it), their military stint, out of jail or out of rehab by then, but it would still be soon enough we’d all still recognize each other. Ours was a two-day affair. I took my husband to the first, less formal night. I took my girl-crush to the second night and confused everyone quite nicely. I also wore a tight, short red dress that second night, one that when I raised my arms up, the tops of my stockings showed. Plus she and I made out towards the end, while people were dancing. It was fun for us, I visited with the three people I wanted to see of the people who actually showed up, and that’s about all I cared about.
plan a reunion?
ack!
so you know….
you’ll do your best
*nobody* will be happy.
*everyone* will bitch about it.
i’ve gone to each of my reunions – every 5 years.
each has been a unique experience.
it’s fun to go see how everyone is running to (w)rack and (b)ruin.
