Interesting story. I went to my 10 year high school reunion Saturday night. Originally they were going to have a dinner at a nice hotel. Many people complained about the $80 per person ticket (rightfully so!). The venue was canceled and it ended up being in a small bar/club in downtown San Diego called Wet Willies. It was a slushy bar. What is a slushy bar you ask? Just see for yourself.
So over loud blasting music, I got to see people I had not seen for over 10 years. It was one of those awkward movie moments where I remembered everyone and hardly anyone knew who I was.
I was one of those quiet shy girls in high school (well...I still am at times). You know, the kind that didn't make a big impression on people because she never talked to anyone outside her group of friends. I did see a few people that remembered me, but out of our 500 graduating class, only about 30-40 people were there. And the majority of them were those who were considered the "popular crowd". Some people looked the same, others looked really old. Luckily, my husband was also in my graduating class and we went with 2 other classmates, so we were not totally awkwardly alone. As everyone else started drinking and dancing on the empty dance floor, we stayed outside on the patio area and were thankful for who we turned out to be.
Another movie moment that made my night was when a few of those pretty and popular girls remembered my husband from elementary school (I did not go to that school). One of them said to him, "You're the one with ants in his desk."Then the three girls started singing their middle school's theme song very loudly at that round table you see in the picture above. I was thinking, is this for real?
Although there were some awkward moments, I am glad I went. I knew I would have a great story to tell about my high school reunion and I'm glad I got to see some of those people.
Look what my wonderful husband got me for my birthday.
He took the time to look on craigslist to get me a really nice tripod at a decent price. It has a level on it and a handle so I can turn the camera up/down and side to side. I love it!
Summer has returned to San Diego. It's been in the 80's and 90's this week. I guess I should be grateful, but I really hate the heat!
I'd love to hear any reunion stories you have!
