Goodafternoon.
So the post reunion show starts now.
It was interesting. There wasn't that many people there. Of a class of 100 there was maybe 30 people there. I think there were place settings for 56 people and there were some empty spots at some tables and most people brought their other half... so only about 30 people. Sucky. On the other hand, it was nice to talk to some of that 30. I found that the majority of the people there were friends with the one who organized it, which isn't good. I think that there will be some very disapointed people who didn't know about it because they didn't associate with the right crowd in highschool. But I can't complain. I didn't organize it, if I had then I would have the right to make comments.
It was really nice to see some people that I have lost contact with, and it was just plain nice to see some other people. It was all really surreal. I know that I have let go of some of my hangups from highschool, but when I was around all of these people (some of who helped to perpetuate those hangups in highschool) I started to lapse into my old shy self. That was really weird and hard to shake. I was able to for the most part. I made a strange realization. Most of the guys there came up and said hi and gave me a hug, not many of the girls did. Hmm weird. There were a lot of married folk there, and some pregnant folk there. And some not married and no perspective folk too. I am somewhere in the middle of all that. There were some good jobs, not good ones and not working people too. I am a good job one. So I realized that I am not doing all that badly, there are a lot of people that are in the same place as me. Granted this wasn't a full reunion, but a smattering and I am in the middle on most things. I found that I have done more than a lot of them. Which is fun to think, and I was happy to listen to their stories and not gush on all of mine, I am happy to know that I am happy with myself. Happy Happy Happy....
I think reunions are great if you are in a good place, not so great if you are not. I think that if you aren't happy with who you are, a reunion will make you feel worse. Unless you get strength from the people you went to highschool with. I don't. I have maintained 2 friends from highschool; although I hope to rekindle a couple more.
I think I have grown as a person since highschool, and that person was happy to see everyone, but happy to leave earlyish before the hard core reminicing started. I liked to talk to everyone and see what they're up to, but I didn't want to talk about the time when....
Someone did comment that I was bitter in highschool, which was intresting, because I was. I don't think that I am now.
SO that was the reunion post game show.
Monday.
Remember I hate Mondays? It's Monday, I offically want to die. I have had 2 custoemrs yell at me for policy things. No we won't give you a bigger loan, why? We don't want you to declare bankruptsy. Duh.
Stuff like that.
Blah.
I got to play with my baby neice this weekend. She is such a doll, makes me happy to see her. She is quite the little diva. So cute. She loves her pretties, hates getting her face washed and will growl at my dad when he chides her for something. She calls Adam, Dum and can't yet say Auntie. She loves Adam to pieces and will curl up in his lap to play, but comes to me to read, funny.... She loves it outside, and loves the flowers, and will push your buttons and just touch them even though she knows she's not allowed too.
I can't wait until she has a little cousin!
well I should work,
have a nice day!
