Class Reunion


Posts: 1892

So... my graduating class just had a reunion.  I didn't have a clue it was going on, but I more than likely would not have attended.  Only becuase of the inconvience of gettting to the reunion site.  The invites were posted via Facebook and since I don't fb I didn't know.  Mrs. T does the facebook thing.

She just showed me a picture from the after party for the renuion last night.  It was a druken feel good photo of nine people I knew in a dive bar... I KNEW.

Mrs. T asked if I wished I had gone... I can not say I do, well... maybe a litlle.  But, the thing is what do I have in common with them?  We were a very small class.  Less than 50... None have lived the life I have and the last time I spoke to any of them wassssss.... a very long time ago.

In the very center of the photo was a dude that at one time in my life could be called my best friend... I haven't talked with him in more than a decade.  People that I USED to know.

I had one this summer as well.

Last time I went I took someone who glared at every man I knew from high school and couldn't stop grabbing my ass.

Reminds me of every time I go back "home"...

I'm from a very small rural town... When I go back I see all of these people who did nothing with their lives but stayed there... perpetuating the small town life... working at fast food, or on farms... of the ones that did stay the lucky ones had jobs at factories...

That small minded mentality... just resonates a feeling of giving up... acceptance of being nothing more than a rat running in a wheel... most of them got fat... the pretty girls all got knocked up and turned less than mediocre...

Going back home is a humbling reminder of how far I've come in life... and how thankful for the life I have now... I consider myself very blessed to have gotten away from that place...

I know some very down to earth intelligent farmers, but other than that I get exactly what you are saying.  Although I can't say blessed... more like destined.  I would have died years ago had I stuck around that place.

There was a reunion that flew over my head awhile back. The only reason I would go, is to find this one girl I miss terribly much, even up to this day. When asked, no one was able to point me out to her.

I did go to my ex's highschool reunion though. It seemed to me as though a lot of people were putting up plastic smiles, while listening to other peoples success stories. I've concluded, the only thing that would make a reunion worth while, is if people got what they wanted, and that thing is love. On that note, some people did enjoy themselves, but when it was over, I could only assume a majority of people would gossip about others.

Oh yeah, gossip. I heard that even if I didn't go. This person went crazy, this person slept with this person, a few went to 12 steps, a few more are addicts.

 

I still talk to several people from back then, so I didn't feel the need to go. Also, I find my life worthless and depressing.  :)

I can imagine some people come back with the "all or nothing" approach. They blew it before, and decided maybe they should fall in style this time. It may or may not work. You know how it is when all grown up. Too many people we don't have time for, but when we let someone in, it's because it's good for both parties.

I've been thinking about your name, and I came to the conclusion that your name is 13circe not 13 circles. It's a little confusing because they are pretty close to each other. Can it be that you typed your name wrong?
