OK, now there have been several High School reunions that have come and gone and I never attended any of them. I don't know why but I just never had any interest to go. It may stem from me not being very sociable at times but that's another story. Anyway, this past Sunday I decided to go to a High School reunion that combined the three different High Schools of Pasadena (PHS, Muir & Blair) and also combined several different graduating years. One big event all rolled into one!
I was a little nervous on the way over there as all kind of thoughts ran through my head. What if I don't know anybody or don't recognize anyone? What if no one talks to me? Will I look older than everyone? Be fatter or balder than everyone? And on and on my imagination ran, all the way over to the park in Altadena.
When I got there I saw a small group of older people that just couldn't be the reunion I was looking for, could it? As I got closer I started reading the name tags and yes, I was in the right place! A couple of girls I remembered right away and they remembered me and a few other people came later that I also remembered. Several girls were looking at me and giggling like, well schoolgirls so I walked over to see who they were. Although I vaguely recognized their names there was no way I could place a face with the way they looked now. No way! Sorry! Anyway, they seemed to know all about me in High School and asked who my plastic surgeon was and if I use botox. HAHA! I guess this was a compliment as I can honestly say that I felt that I looked much younger than most of the people there. It was an odd feeling seeing people that you hadn't seen in years and really don't know anymore. Very odd indeed.....
