Reunion?
So, my reunion is coming fast. It's 3-weeks away. Ran into a classmate of mine, Kori at the mall. She's not going to the reunion. I suggested that we have an anti-reunion. Just invite the people we actually hung out w/in high school (what can I say? I'm a snob).
I've often wondered about reunions. They seem so fake. You get to act excited to see people that obviously weren't important enough to stay in touch with you over the years - people you would soon forget in a few weeks until ten years and 20 pounds later. I guess it's a last chance effort to grasp at wisps of fastly fading youth. To feel young and immature for one more day. To realize that even though you long for "the good old days," you would rather live an eternity in purgatory than relive the angst of adolescence.
Will I go the the reunion? Maybe. Probably. The trio of myself, Musson and Trini will probably make an appearance out of curiosity. We have the advantage of still being best buds, therefore even if it sucks, at least we can ditch and go to Zippy's or something.
My music: To get me in the mood, I looked up a website with songs from the years I was in high school, but I guess I was not a huge top 40 song listener (my favorite bands were R.E.M., U2, the Violent Femmes, and the Beatles), except I really loved these songs: Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me); Tears For Fears - Everbody Wants To Rule The World; U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For; Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
My mood: nostalgic
