Confession

I'm having second thoughts about going to my 10-year high school reunion this Saturday. I've already paid for my ticket, so I'll go no matter what, but suddenly the prospect of being surrounded a bunch of people who couldn't have cared less about my existence when I was 17 (save for a small handful) and who will probably not remember me now is not that appealing.

Maybe I should just accept my inevitable role as a wallflower, and realize that it's unrealistic to expect people to notice me when I give them no real reason to do so.

wallflower??? what wallflower??? i don't see one!!!

seabird, minha querida, you are only a wallflower if you choose to be one!

it never occurred to me to go to ANY of my reunions. why? i don't remember them, or even care to. if they were people i cared to remember, they are still in my life.

obviously there are people who HAVE noticed you!! look around and find THEM, forget that you bought that silly ticket, and have your OWN party with those who mean something to you, and vice versa!!!

big HUGS and little kisses!!!

You're right, Tes. Can I package you up and keep you in my pocket so I can consult you for sagelike advice at a moment's notice? I need it a lot. :)

Ditto to what Tes said.

Have your own party.

Life's too short to deal with the bullshit left over from high school. I went to one of mine, can't remember which one, and the thing is, the ones who were assholes then are STILL assholes.

It's not worth it.

I didn't go to your high school, but I'd sure go to your party~ :)

I guess I'm just too damn masochistic for my own good, huh? ;)

We can party when I'm in Eureka if you have time to make it up there! I know there are a few Caribe margaritas with our names on them!
