So I had my 10-year High-School reunion this past weekend! SUPER AWESOME!
I swear, I had been waiting for this since graduation day. I am probably the most sentimental person of anyone I know. I was BAWLING at my graduation; a wreck! I am also probably the only one who really liked High School out of everyone I know. And there was even an anti-me club!!
Yes, that's right, some douchebag probably couldn't handle the fact that he LIKED me, and so, decided to have a club based around HATING me. They didn't really do anything except write their little symbol on stuff. Real mature, huh? The members just consisted of this kid, and a few freshmen (this happened in my junior year) that thought he was cool and would have done anything he said.
Anyway, aside from that, I thought High School was great! I knew then how much easier it was compared to what was coming ahead in my life, so I enjoyed it. It's also where I became the person I am today, where I gained confidence and started to finally like myself. I stood out from the rest for the first time in my life, and I was friendly with almost everybody. My school was pretty tame (public, but you had to be accepted, so less douchebags...though obviously not NONE), and the amount of kids in each year was pretty small. My graduating class was approx. 180 kids, and that was the largest class in the school's history. So, I knew almost everyone in my class. In fact, I remember, senior year I went through all the kids in my class and figured out that I had talked to everyone in my class at least once, except for like, 2 of them, which I then rectified before graduation.
So the reunion...AWESOME! :-) The turn-out was pretty good, I'd say 40 gradutates, give or take a few (plus some significant others). It was almost surreal being in the same room with these people. Everyone looked mostly the same, it almost felt like no time had passed. It was fun talking to everyone, even people I never really talked to during high school. But everyone remembered me, even FORGETTING that I had a mohawk, which makes me feel good because they remembered ME and not my hair. One of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE teachers from high school was there and he waited for ME before leaving! It's so damned nice to feel loved! :) I also got to impress everyone with my job, which felt great!
We had so much fun together, we hung out waaaaay past the reunion's official end. I think I got home around 3AM (after dropping off McEats and another high school pal I see sometimes...let's call him...Grey! haha). Everyone seemed to be doing well, a few couples, a preggo, a few new parents, most doing things they enjoy. I really like seeing the twins again, who shot up and bulked up, but are still as sweet as ever. We reminisced about our "Church of Satanism" project...man, I wish I could just replay those moments of my life and watch. The memories leave out so much...
Anyway, I loved it. They all seemed to enjoy it. And I can't wait for the next one!
The End.
