Reunited and it feels so good.

**Ed Note** I typed 2 paragraphs worth of shit when it all disappeared for no damn reason! This is take 2.

I had my 10 year high school reunion this passed weekend. I went to an all girls catholic school. They did not extend the invitation to significant others so I had been dreading it for a while. You see, about 85% of these girls are married or engaged and all that. For some reason I had been imagining that everyone would be flaunting their new fancy lives while I stood around with very little to report. That being said, I was petrified to walk in alone. The only person that I kept in touch with is one of my best buds now and she was refusing to go. I finally convinced her and she even bought a new outfit, only to back out at the last minute citing a cold sore. Now, although I totally can't blame her, I was still totally freaking out.

In the end, I went alone and you know what? It went great! I was 3 feet in the door when I ran into someone I knew. She was nonchalantly playing with her cell phone so as not to look too alone. It was funny to see that we shared the same look of relief when we saw each other...even if it was only for a minute as I relized she was ll dressed up and I was in a pair of jeans! Anway, we walked around and found a ton of people that, much to my horror, were all in dresses. Everyone looked the same, it was so weird. Even the pregnant girls looked so much the same...and no they weren't pregnant then lol. Eventually, I found my clique and they were all in jeans (praise the lord!) and we had a blast catching up. We even ventured out to the secret cigarette smoking spot to take pics of our formerly delinquent selves. lol. All in all, I'm glad I went. Nobody even asked me if I was married!

One thing I did notice is how we all knew about what everyone was doing even though we never really speak. Facebook is a wonderful thing lol.

Mine will be in a year's time. Dreading it. So won't be married or engaged by then.
