I LOVED my 10 year reunion.
The Earth had tilted off its axis and I was suddenly the cool one. People who were horrible to me before actually apologized and I had a way, way more interesting life than they did.
The sad bit was how the popular kids peaked in high school and had never left town.
Haven't been to one since.
If sj isn't cool, then I never want to be.
Awww. Thanks, Sean. How's life been treating you?
It's had it's ups and downs. I got screwed over by another temp assignment, which in turn screwed me over as far as getting an on-set job (I passed on the on-set job in order to not screw over the temp assignment, who then screwed me over).
Then my clutch went out, turning my car into a giant paperweight.
But other than that, things are fine.
Ugh, sorry about the temp agency and the car. I hope things start turning your way soon.
cool = relative thing
Being cooler can involve micro-degrees. But still, I was happier than I'd been in school and really enjoyed people who weren't so enjoyable before. It was a nice cross-dimensional kind of shift.
My ten year reunion was fun, if a bit on the underplanned side.
So many of the guys were balding. It was scary.
The guy I'd photomanipulated into baldness for the April Fool's edition of the school paper senior year looked just like the manip. (He was one of our editors, as well as being Senior Class President, and thus the body responsible for the underplanning.)
There was a lot of drinking, a lot of catching up, and Ron Jeremy got mentioned (Back before his stint on the Surreal Life), which earned me points.

This too. And the head cheerleader had 4, count them four kids by then. Phew.
I'm really hoping to make it to my 10 year reunion. If it happens (I haven't heard yet), it's going to be in the super crunch time at work, so I'm hoping it's Saturday night so I can fly out in the afternoon and fly back Sunday morning. Cause hey--I'll be able to say I've just flown around the world! That'll sound cool! I'm hoping that the fabulous single life in the city will sound cooler than the lameness I'll feel when everyone is married with kids except me.
