Reunion Reflections

So last night was my 10 year high school reunion and just like high school I survived! It was fun, mainly because I was with my bestest friends from high school and caught up with other great friends there. Here though, are some of my brief reflections of the evening.
Unlike some of my former classmates I did not need to have alcohol to have a good time (OK I did have half a glass of wine to help take away the butterflies in my stomach). I don't know if people from HS were using the reunion as an excuse to drink a lot or maybe they are still in the partying, drinking kind of mode. One guy said to me " 4 hours of open bar and you are sober. Not a good thing," and I responded, "No, it IS a good thing."
I do wonder how many people, possibly due to heavy drinking or maybe just to relive high school were going to hook up with former classmates for the night, just from observing how people were "dancing" on the dance floor.
I did want to mingle, but found that people from high school intimidate me. People I didn't talk to in high school I STILL couldn't talk to 10 years later, even though I knew them back then and did want to see what they were up to. (However, the people I did catch up with, Barbara, Alex, and Cheryl, so, so, so glad that I did!)
In the memory book some people said high school was the best years of their lives. However, these are the same people who said their favorite memories were skipping classes, and taking extra lunch periods!!!!
