The Verdict

I went to my school reunion on the weekend.... and it was........ fun! Honestly! Apparently there were about 100 people there (30 or so were the 'other half') which was a pretty good turn out for this kind of thing. (note: I may use the word 'apparently' quite a bit whilst describing the night as 'apparently' my memory is a little fuzzy...)

But anyway... yeah, it was fun. There were a few people there who I didn't hang out with at school, so obviously we weren't going to become instant buddies just because we were in the same room together that night. But there were heaps of people there who I hadn't seen or heard of in 20 years and when we caught up it was just as funny and as crazy as it was 20 years ago, though this time we didn't have to worry about getting busted by the teacher for being 'disruptive' lol.

It was interesting to hear someone say that the previous 10 yr reunion was all about who was the most successful, who had done something since leaving school etc and that basically everyone was there to prove themselves. BIG difference to the 20 yr reunion! Most of us were married, have had kids and were living a normal,happy,fulfilling life. We all had travelled down different roads (some bumpier than others) but essentially we all arrived at the same destination eventually, some faster than others.

Some funny memories were recalled, love interests were confessed, teacher/student flings outed (hey, it was 20 yrs ago,the laws were a little lax back then!) and generally everyone just relaxed and remembered how life at BSHS was back then.

And as for who is now fatter/skinnier/balder etc, well you'd have to ask the 'in' group (yes,they still believe it exists lol) because honestly, I didn't notice. Maybe I was too busy discussing the price of wine with the barman (apparently), maybe I was busy trying to avoid a wardrobe malfunction of the Janet Jackson kind, maybe I was too busy bustin a move to an 80's tune, or mayyybe I just didn't care!

So, thanks to all that went for making it a great night and for reminding me that those high school years were some of the best.
