Reunion Night

Showed up for my 11th year highschool reunion tonight.

Someone dropped the ball there eh? Actually, we were the first graduating class for our fine arts school, and we only had 40+ people in our grad class, with about another 50+ in the next years class. They combined the years, or it'd be a very small reunion. Very small had it just been our class. Out of the 40+ students of our grad class, only 15 showed up. Not so bad, the few people I didn't care to see show up, didn't, which made things easier.

Over the course of the night, my voice became a bit hoarse due to retelling my "story" of the past 11 years, and trying to talk over the ever increasing volume of the music for the "dance". We assumed they were trying to get people on the dancefloor, but only a few people did. Most people were just trying to catch up with each other and weren't interested in the dancing bit. Besides, the music jumped between 80's to 90's to 70's to 90's etc, making it a bit silly.

Besides the nitpicking, it was great to catch up with some of the people I remember from school, see where they've gone with their lives. Most are married, with kids, with few singles. Many look exactly as they did back then, some with a little more weight (me), some shockingly even looked younger. Typical reunion stories I guess.

Tomorrow, there is a BBQ in the local park, which I will probably show my face at for a bit, though I have to wake up before Noon, so that'll be a small stretch for me. (hehe)
