High School Reunion...

Ok...ok...so I missed another day of blogging...I am already a slacker...I was going to try to post every day, but my days are getting busier and busier and my brain tends to forget a lot of things if they aren't written down...ugh...getting old here (my 38th birthday is on Saturday, can't believe it, inside I still think I am 14!).

Speaking of getting older...being 38 this year marks the 20th anniversary of my graduation. I can't believe it...20 years! Where did the time go? I FINALLY found a site that has my HS Reunion info on it and I am super excited! Now I know a lot of people don't look forward to Reunions, it all depends on your experience in HS.

Mine was good...could've been better...but I attribute that to my own stupidity...I tended to hang out with the "older" crowd, ever since I was in Junior High I was that way, and you know what happens when the "older" crowd moves on and out of school...you are left with people your own age...and by then they had my number so I wasn't in the "in" crowd much...but I WAS friends or friendly with almost everyone or at least tried to be...I was kind of neutral...like Switzerland...

Although while looking on the site with our Reunion info, I am surprised to see that I don't remember a lot of my classmates...we did have a big class, but I really thought I KNEW everyone...it blows my mind...

You know, I was a major "goody goody" in school...didn't drink much or smoke or party...but I had my "bad" moments too (my parents have the link to this blog so I refuse to disclose too much here, but you can read the book soon! LOL!). I thought everyone liked me or was indifferent to me and I was nice to EVERYONE...or so I thought.

My bubble was burst a few years after graduating, I was looking for a part time job and my boyfriend at the time's sister was working for a local pizza place. I thought it would be a great 2nd job so I asked her to put in a good word for me. She came back and told me the manager went to highschool with me and said he would NEVER hire me because I was a snobby B#@*&! WOW! I couldn't believe it! I asked her several times if she was sure he had the right person and she said yes (although sadly I knew he must becuase my maiden last name is one not too many people forget). I was soo shocked and dismayed...I had always thought I was being soo nice to everyone and here I missed someone...The funny thing is, I didn't even recognize HIS name, so he was someone I apparently didn't even know very well...oh well...can't please EVERYONE! (I keep trying to tell myself that, but it doesn't always work...that's another one of my diseases...People Pleasing...but I AM getting better at that one too!)...

Sadly I really haven't kept in touch with many of my HS friends...one or two here and there, but not on a regular basis...I am a bit of a loaner you know...but it would be nice to reconnect, especially after 20 years, we all probably have more in common now than we did back then.

So I did join the group that the HS Reunion Committee formed and will wait and see what transpires...they say the end of November...which is great for me since I just started my diet (again!), but it will give me a lot more time than if they hold it in the summer...in this day and age people post pics of themselves and you get to see what they look like now...back in the day you had to actually GO to a reunion to see how people turned out...hmmm...that's a thought...what a great surprise that would be! But then again, I was never great at waiting for surprises (I used to find most of my Christmas presents BEFORE Christmas, sorry MOM!).
