2009.09.14 (17:02): Reunion..
Saturday September 5th was Day 2 of my 10 year high school reunion. I opted against Day 1's festivities of our school's foot ball game, a tail gate party, and a thing up at the Prestige. It sounded too family orientated. Day 2 was the binge drinking during the husker game. Whoo hoo.
I was fairly stoked going in and glad I went. Many people were down on the idea of going.. but hell that's what reunions are for. See who's changed, what's up, and provide a good reason for people who may or may not have known each other ten years ago congregate.
I was pleased by the turn out and who I ran into. Dave Neilson/Nelson got me up to date on a trio of guys I used to hang out with in school and junior high. Houser was amusing because she knew of people I still hang out with... Folley for calling Houser out as being a debater... Gainey for not changing.. Boyscout guys (3/4 of us were there).. Gatewood for keeping me up on Higgens and a few other folk. Grosskopft was great and just as insanely funny. Only one guy was really a dbag which was unfortunate since he was a decent guy back in the day. Oh well.
I do have to say I was a bit enamored by a few of our class girls. Unfortunately they were not moving too much and I had a hard time getting to one of them in particular before she up and left. A later cursory internet search turned up little information. Drat. Now that I am more sober I might try again.
Towards the end it was getting a bit annoying.. the pity look for not being married nor having children was grating my nerves.. then (probably with the helpful hand of a keg of beer) I was becoming annoyed at even BEING annoyed. Either way I wandered out at midnight to head home. 7.30 to midnight was a good stretch. Now I need to start acquiring some facebook people from my grade.
Tally ho!
