Ren Faire and GHHS 10 year Reunion.... Round 1

Aug 05, 2009 02:42

Well the first weekend of renfaire came and went. Along with my 10 year reunion. It was okay. I kinda understand now why they only have them every 10 years. I am still sortign through all the emotions taht events stirred up in me. I think over all it was good, and I know that those who put on the reunion events busted their asses, but I was still a little disappointed at how few turned out. A lot of people I had hoped to see never showed up. Dave Avramovich, Reid Foley, Wes Henson, Preston Gallegos,  Paul Hobson, Dillon Larkin, Dan Hutson, Jannah Lilly, Sydney Nance, Brandon Porter, Nathan Watts, Cari Tower, Matt Brickles, Kody Ague, and Matt Wendling being some I can think of off the top of my head...Sadly a couple that did show up I didn't get to talk to, Liv Fode, being one of them. Mostly, I just realized that many of the people I called friends back in high  school really weren't. At least by what I define the word friend now. Most would be better be descibed as aquaintices or associates.
I found out many people are living in the immediate area ( Gig Harbor/ Tacoma).  Which in a way pisses me off because, that just shows the lack of caring they had towards me. With the fake smiles and plastic politeness of most the people there, it makes me understand how things like Columbine happen. Out of all the people there that I saw, and whom I hadn't had contact with in 10 years, there was only one person I want to reconnect with and hang otu with, and that's Star Paddock. He's interested in the heavy fighting and other SCA stuff. He was the ONLY person who seemed interested in what I had been doing the last 10 years.
There is still more to come on this. but it will be a back-dated posting. because I will be writing it on renfaire site and then post it online here.
laters,

faire, reunion, life
