What?
Not long after that a fellow geek from the same class invited me to a private 'catch up' chat list and told me I was one of the coolest guys in the school due to that style and my general rebelliousness. Being a lifetime geek, I wish someone would ave told me than five years sooner so I could have at least enjoyed it :/...
School reunions are always a bit strange. However, they are an opportunity to reconnect with people you liked anyway but have simply fallen out of touch with.
I hope you were joking. That wasn't the best thing to say to someone who doesn't know you in your present state.
This isn't really a *strange* tale, more like a sad one. I was at my 20 year high school reunion a few months ago. I had very little to talk about with any of these people, even the ones I recognized. I felt rather miserable. I don't think I'll go to any more reunions (of course it did not help that very few of my friends were there, so I didn't have much company anyway).
It also didn't help that one of the people I ran into on the way out was the drummer for 311 (three of the band members are classmates of mine). He proceeded to needle me relentlessly about my job, and how I was wasting my life, etc. Well, ex FUCKING cuse me, asshole, we can't all be multimillionaire musicians you know.![]()
I just shrugged it off and left; didn't feel like arguing, and also I didn't want to wind up as a song topic on their next album.
