Lo and behold, Rachel at Totally Ovar It asked us to "list the top ten pros/cons of attending your class reunion" for this week's Listicle.
This is a good example of zen blogging. Just sayin'.
Why does it feel so heavy? Seriously, thinking about TWENTY whole years since I was a kid feels heavy. Like, ooph, LIFE.
Not that I'm not happy living life. I love life, my life. It's all good. It's just, that's a pretty long time. And I guess I'm just really feeling that passage of time right now.
OK, so. I did not attend my 10 year high school reunion, and honestly, I highly doubt I will be attending my 20th either. Mostly because I no longer live in or near Lake Tahoe, where I went to high school. But there are other reasons as well.
9 reasons I'm not hip on attending my high school reunions, or CONS of attending them are:
1. The 10 year reunion was held over Labor Day Weekend. Holiday weekends in Lake Tahoe are insanely busy.
2. At the time of the 10 year reunion in 2002, I had a 2 year old and Mark's transplant had failed in February. It wasn't a great year.
3. We still lived in the Bay Area in '02, just 4 hours from Tahoe, so getting there wouldn't have been hard, and my mom lives there so I have a place to stay, but the reunion itself was going to be pricey.
4. My BFF from high school, J.Ho, didn't want to go either.
5. I still don't feel like going to the 20 year reunion.
6. I don't think J.Ho does either.
7. I now live in Washington state, so travel will involve flying, which is very expensive.
8. I just visited Lake Tahoe last summer.
9. Those I liked from high school are on my Facebook anyway.
The one PRO I can think of:
10. Dancing to '80s and '90s music all night! But then again, the Rock of Ages movie is coming out this summer too.
