I was chatting with a few acquaintances from high school over
facebook the last few days. It all stemmed from one girl talking about a singing dancing group she was in and then I referenced friends dancing to Thriller in marching band and then...the dreaded comment. One girl (I like her shes wonderful) said I should bring video of the Thriller dance to our 10 YEAR REUNION....ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 10 year reunion? I have a small child...I own a home and I don't feel like an adult. I don't feel old. & then out of no where those three little words sent me into adulthood. 10 year reunion. I spent 10 years away from these people...honestly it feels like much longer I feel like 20-30 years ago (heck I'm not 30 but I'm being dramatic) I was sitting in the high school cafeteria looking a few tables over at my boyfriend who was sitting with all the other football players. Skipping out of lunch early to go hang with my friends near the library and be a general waste of space. Goodness maybe I really do miss high school?
I was always one of those people who said they would never go back to a high school reunion. I'm pretty sure I'm still one of those people. But the fact that this girl just assumed I would be there was sort of touching. Made me think maybe it would be fun to see all those people.
I think part of the reason I never felt the need to go back was because I was never part of a group. I didn't have that babysitters club group I wasn't one of the athletic people who hung out with the softball players or the basketball team. I had a lot of friends I just wasn't 'in a group' I always imagined that my high school reunion would be odd for me because I wouldn't be able to walk into the room and find my old group. I was in the band (insert commentary) and I did have a few groups I mingled with but I wasn't one of the essential people in a group that allowed it to function.
All my social psychosis aside....10 YEARS? I'm blown away....and apparently old.
