Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I only went to my 10 year reunion because my dear dear friend wanted to go. I found it, well, tedious. But at least I can safely say I'm over the whole reunion thing now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Here's Annabel's birthday cake, showcasing my lack of anything resembling cake decorating skills, and another picture of the birthday girl herself: [link]

Mostly lurking...

I did not go to my ten year reunion. I kind of wanted to, but I also didn't, so it worked out in one way or another.

Susan, the cake is adorable! Pshaw at your decorating skills.

It's 5am and I'm wide awake. Stupid drugs not lasting all night.

What is even happening?

I went to my fifth reunion, and found it tedious. I skipped my tenth, because I was 7 months pregnant and in the process of moving. I went to my 15th, and had a surprisingly good time.

I missed my 10-year reunion, and am now only four years shy of my 20-year. Someone get me my cane.

My 20th is this year. Getcher paws of my cane, or I'll club ya with it.

Timelies, oh youthful ones.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My fifth would have been last year, but I think no one actually organized it, so it didn't happen. When it comes time for the tenth, if there is one, I might go.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

my 10 year college reunion is coming up in a couple months, I'll likely go to that- thankfully I live locally to the school.

Having a dashing new husband to show off certainly isn't any motivation, oh no.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

For y'all with questions--yes, I am in fact going around the world--DC to New Zealand (Auckland, and possibly Christchurch), to Sydney, Australia, to Vietnam, to Cairo, to Frankfurt (just overnight), and home.

Wait. What? Was that a mention of, mayhap, Australia?

Our wings are not tired.

I didn't go to the 10th, 20th, or 30th HS reunions. Didn't care what happened to any of them. It wasn't that I had a bad HS, I just wasn't really involved. I left town shortly after that time and don't remember any students that were in my class. Most of my friends were older.

My 20th college reunion will be coming up (yes, it took me 16 years to finish my BS). I could go to that, particularly since Brendon was in the same class.

Puffs up chest. We were given a joint Distinguished Alumni Award a few years after we graduated. That was cool.

Thrive to spite them

Annabel is so cute! She's got the cutest nose.

My 10 yr reunion was 3 years ago. I didn't go even though I wanted to see how people turned out. But three years go I wasn't working and still coming to terms with the bipolar diagnosis, and struggling to find the right med combination and I didn't want to deal with explinations and reasons for my "failure"* in life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, NovaChild! A friend of mine got her Master's in Librarian Stuff (I don't know the real name for it) at Teacher's College, she loved it there. And I think eyeliner is almost always a good move for guys it looks good on - perhaps a surprising opinion since I don't wear it myself, but that is only because I am lazy, not because I don't like it.

I missed my 10-year reunion, as it happened when I was utterly broke and a couiple thousand miles away from my high school. My 20 year should be next year, if it happens, but it probably won't. My high school doesn't have any sort of alumni association and I don't remember having class presidents. The last reunion was an ad hoc thing organized by a girl who didn't even graduate from our school. I'm missing my 15 year college reunion the end of the month because a friend of mine (who I met while in college, but she didn't go to my school) is getting married that weekend. I'm really not good at making it to reunions. I have this idea that I'd like them if I could get to them, though. I'm all nostalgic and stuff.

I like Annabel's cake, it's happy looking. So is Annabel. Conclusion: Susan makes Happiness.
