My 20 is this summer, too. Except I have absolutely no intention of going, so I don't have the whole do something fabulous & get in shape issue. I live about 25 minutes from where I went to high school, and of all the places in the Greater Cleveland area they could have the damn reunion, they're having it at a hall less than 5 minutes from my house. And yet, I still have no intention of going. There is a small handful of people from school that I wonder about - how they are, where they live, etc and so on - but I find I don't care enough to drag myself there to find out. If I knew for a fact that Matt, Scott, Michelle, Jeff, Dave, and Robin would be there, it might change my mind. Or not. I know everyone always says 'it's not like high school at all' and 'the cliques don't exist anymore, everyone is really friendly and the football captain is paunchy and balding and the head cheerleader is the size of a house now', but I don't believe any of it. I remember what these people were like 20 years ago, and have a hard time believing any of them changed that drastically. Bitter, me?
it just hit me, hard. 20 year reunions are for old people, No kidding. I can't believe it's been that long. At the time of my ten year (no, didn't go to that one either), it was like, 'ten years, no big deal - but twenty years? AUGH. Makes me feel really old. Also makes me look and wonder what I've done with my life in that time. Yes, I went to and graduated college, became a good(ish) wife and good mother, but what else have I done? Not much, and that bachelor's degree is proving to be a waste of time and money. Maybe that's part of the reason I don't want to go. Bah, who knows.
Regardless, I hope you have a great time, and post afterwards and tell us about it. Maybe it'll change my mind for my 25 or 30. Heh.
