I'm hearing my ole bones crack as I remember times with you and Chris back in tha day. (Getting drunk in a rowboat on Gold Zima by the UW?) Oh, the days gone by. It's radical (my fave new/old word) that you went to the reunion, and the writer/gossiper in me can't wait to frickin hear about it! Wowza! I love to see the evolution, baby!

I didn't necessarily go because I just SO adored everyone I went to school with, but because these are people who's story arcs I've watched for 23 years, in some cases, and it's facinating to see characters evolve. Maybe that's just the writer in me talking (or the gossip) but I don't think LIKING the people involved has much to do with it at all. Perhaps I'm too much of a social scientist for my own good, but I didn't see this as an opportunity to mix 'n' mingle as much as an opportunity to observe and be facinating by the process of aging, personal development, adaptation, etc. Remember: this was a high school on an ISLAND. You want to talk about isolated and sheltered? It's really interesting to me to see how people from an environment like that have adapted to the world...I know how the process went for me (bumpy, awkward, exciting, etc), but I'm curious to no end about how it went for others. Now, does that mean there weren't some people I was excited to see? No, it was good to see some folks. I just find it a little short-sighted (not to mention arrogant) to assume that you're the only person who's evolved since high school. PS: Also, don't discredit your rack, Brodie. I'm sure it's quite lovely. Hmm. I have a very different perspective.
