So my 10 year high school reunion is in 3 weeks...
*sigh*
I always thought I'd attend. Never did it cross my mind that I would not be there to meet up with old friends, catch up, and have a grand ole time.
However, most of those people that I would have wanted to run into I have already re-connected with thanks to Facebook and/or MySpace. It's great! I see pics of their wedding, their kids, what they're doing with their lives. Again, it's great. I was commenting to a friend a while back that it's sort of a mini reunion being able to get back in touch with people from the past, especially from high school.
However, I'm torn. And when I'm undecided, I make lists:
Reasons I would not attend my 10 year high school reunion:
1. I'm single. Which means no date. Which means I would be sitting there looking like a loser while everyone mingled with their significant others. (I did ask my go to guy friend to attend and he was game. That is, until he found out that he had a wedding to photograph that same evening. Such is my luck!)
2. I don't really have anything significant going on in my life. Most people are married with kids - I think that's significant. Me? I just work. I'm single and I work. I went to college, I graduated and I've worked ever since. Big whoop!
3. I've asked the people that I would have wanted to see if they are in fact attending (I figured I could sort of suck it up) and they have all said no. Some have out of state weddings to go to, some don't think the 10 year reunion is as telling as the 20 year would be (which, I sort of agree with), some are living out of state, some are just busy with life, and some have actually agreed with my theory in that the people they wanted to get back in touch with they already have - via Facebook or MySpace.
Reasons I would attend my 10 year high school reunion:
1. I can see myself looking back two or three years from now and regretting not attending.
2. The country club where the reunion is being held is literally 10 min away from my house.
3. That same weekend, my cousin, her hubby and my favorite 5 year old munchkin are coming to visit. Ironically, they'll be in town for the same wedding my go to guy friend is photographing. So I'll have that Saturday evening free anyways if everyone is attending the wedding.
*Sigh*
What to do. What to do.
