High School Reunion
10 years! Holy smokes!
So, the (still) motivated folks from all those years ago are planning a ten year reunion for my high school, probably for late August. I always thought they took place around when you graduated for some reason? Weird.
I cannot decide if I would actually go or not. It seems obvious to say yes! because of how interesting it would be. Buuuut…I have some good reasons for not going. And you know I love me some bullet points, so they are:
- Facebook. Most of my curiosity of “How fat did Ms. Priss get anyway?” are easily solved by this delightful social networking site.
- While I knew a ton of people in high school, I didn’t know a lot of people, ya know? I wasn’t unpopular, but I certainly wasn’t popular. I was one of them wallflower types who hangs out with the weird kids, but is cool to talk to in class. If you’re a fan of the Teen Girl Squad, I can relate best with “Whats Her Face” though I was slightly more liked than that. haha.
- Clique, Clique. I have the feeling that it’ll be like a high school pep rally. I’d feel inclined to go because the friends I usually ditched class with were elsewhere (probably ditched the class prior which I had to be there for) and upon entering the gym experienced whothehelldoisitwith? syndrome. I’d sit next to a group of people that I talked regularly with IN CLASS (but rarely outside of) and just kinda sit there. So, unless some folk that I can truly talk to (Heather, maybe Meg) are for-sure going, I just might pass because of this reason alone.
Some people are very “OMG WHY WOULD I WANT TO RELIVE THOSE TIMES?” and it makes me thankful that I didn’t hate high school. I never really gave a shit about being popular or Ms. Social Butterfly. In fact, during my senior year I totally avoided that. I think it’d be quite entertaining to go as my newfangled self. I am a lot less shy and definitely more talkative. Basically, I don’t give a shit in entirely new ways. haha.
We shall see.
