thirteenrocksI can't help but start singing "Reunion" by the indigo girls. Even with a headache, its running through my mind.
our five year reunion wasn't bad. The people who showed basically said "I don't care for my life right now, but I am going to make it better". Which was basically where we were in our lives, none of us were established, most just got out of college or were still in, and that o.k.

auryn24, stated to be ready for a whirlwind of emotions, I didn't 100% believe her until tonight. I'm still riding the rollercoaster.
The problem being is last night, the small group of us that went to the bars (our big dinner wasn't untill tonight), seemed to be established (lack of a better word to be discussed later), and happy. We have all changed since H.s. but remained friends, and were "adults".
That all changed tonight after the dinner. The dinner was quaint (about 30 out of 150), and I got compliments from people on my speaking. Which was good. Downtown, the "townies" came out, in mass numbers. I just dont' feel at age 30, you should A) act like you did in H.S., B), be a drunken stupor sloppy mess (like falling down on your ass at a bar, C) be a skank.
The same people who were a clique in H.S. still hang out, live near by (within an hour drive), and have not changed the same. The bar was playing mid 1980's music (stuff concidered old by the class of 1995), and these "skanks" were dancing to it.
Maybe I'm being to harsh. If they had the cash to get sloppy drunk before 10:00 p.m. downtown, they could of made an appearance at the dinner. To me, there was No excuse to show up downtown, when you KNOW the dinner was going on, and be sloppy drunk.
What are they hiding behind, what's there damage, can't they move on?
The more I thought about it, the more it came to me.
Very simply.
We have GROWN up.
The select few have GROWN up, and live with our differences. The others are hung up on high school bullshit, and may never take that next stepp. Its sad.
Definately felt out of place, (I was in a suit), in some red neck bar, that i am not used to.
Btw: I classmate of mine (male) frenched kissed me. At it seemed alright 8-)
Photos to follow in the am.!
