Or something, darlings. Anyway, to give you an idea of the 50th high school reunion I went to last weekend, here are some of us seated in the renovated and very different from our time high school auditorium.
This was the culmination of a tour through a building most of us had not stepped in within 50 years. Yes, half a century, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!! And we are still here.
Going through the school, I felt like Alice going through Wonderland. Had I just been dropped in the building from space, I would never have known where to go.
I am seated in the first row, second from the left. See my orange cap? In that row are all of my favorite classmates; others are seated behind. This is the group that bonded quickest, both at this event and Saturday night. I want to thank all seated for your company and being so warm and friendly to me. I had been so nervous about this, because of the number 50. It is pretty daunting.
I don't know when, if ever we will see each other again, or where our paths in the future will take us, but, as per this picture, I was glad to see each and every one of you.
I learned two things from this event.
That my adolescence was not as shitty as I often made it out to be.
Never to judge those still living in the town or nearby area they grew up in.
Auditorium seaters, I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I said I’d never go to my hs reunion but, now I am curious!
Sure it was hell, however there WERE two people who were kind to me!!
I’ve never received an invitation, or ANY correspondence at all; how did they contact you? Online??
Victoria,
It turned out to be more than I expected it to be.
