I went to my 10 year high school reunion this weekend and had a lot of fun.  This is probably surprising to most people, particularly people who did not go to their own 10 year high school reunion, but I enjoyed high school, was neither homecoming queen or class dork, and thought it would be fun to see what people were up to.  It was.  Luckily two of the people I’d really wanted to see were there, my roommate from college, Christi, and my theatre friend, Lara.  We were in all the plays together in high school, kind of the ruling class of the theatre department (Lara more than me), but still we’d been really close and I’d wanted to see what she was up to.  Tim and I wound up closing down the reunion, we were having so much fun talking to Christi and some other friends.  I think we’d all forgotten how much we enjoyed each other’s company.  See Christi and I had a big fight and she moved out, and then we’d only seen each other once (where we made up) since then.  It was definitely nice and cathartic for both of us to hang out with that behind us.  I wish more people had shown, there were only about a quarter or so of my class there, but luckily most of the “honor class” kids were there so I had a lot of friends to hang out with, even if they weren’t my “best friends” in high school. Everyone has done well for themselves, and everyone was completely over any hang-ups they had in high school and was talking to everyone.  Of course, I was fortunate enough to have a school that was NOT straight out of a John Hughes movie, and I’d been friends with folks of all stripes, from homecoming queen to class burnout, in high school, so I was not expecting trauma drama.  But I enjoyed myself immensely and can say whole-hartedly I’m so glad I went!  If you have a reunion coming up, my advice is to go, you’ll probably enjoy yourself and you won’t have to worry about having any regrets!  As an added bonus, some folks from my reunion who live in Austin and San Antonio said they’d make the show this weekend (we’ll see if that actually happens).  And I got lots of compliments on my appearance, and who can’t use those from time to time!  (I’ve gone from having hair half way down my back in high school to having it quite short).
