10 year high school reunion just around the corner
Just got an email mentioning that my 10 year high school reunion will be over the Thanksgiving weekend. This only two days after coming back from Bmore. I am pretty sure I am going. The movie Grosse Pointe Blank comes to mind, except I am not a hitman. High school reunions are supposed to be those occasions where you measure yourself against your former classmates, where are they now kind of stuff. I am not sure if I really care that much about outdoing anyone, I am still trying to outdo myself. I have only seen a handfull of people from my class since graduation and leaving Bmore. Plus there were alot of assholes in my class , usually lacrosse jocks, most of whom I could care less to ever see. Also a lot of spoiled rich kids, or upper middle class.
I wonder if I should bring a date. In the movies the date you show up with is like a big fuck you to the people who thought they were better than you. At the same time I don't think I have to impress anyone there. I am not anywhere near those people you see on Maury or Jenny Jones who want to show someone in high school who they now have become. I wasn't a jock or some geek who got picked on, just someone somewhere in the middle who did his time. I haven't gone through any major transformation, I don't think. On the otherhand what if I see some attached or unattached classmates who I would like to hookup with if the opportunity was to arise, wouldn't a date get in the way. But if I do take a date I have someone perfectly in mind, one of the sisters at the celebration this weekend. I guess I will have to start laying the groundwork for that right now.
Now I will have to to continue going to the gym, I was going to take a break so it wouldn't interfere with my studying. Usually women worry about coming back having lost a whole bunch of weight or not being geeky no more, but I have been putting on too much muscle and now I guess I have to focus on slimming down, inspite of the bulk. But the bulk might be a good thing since I was kind of slim back then.
I wonder how being in medical school will go over. Usually something like that would go over well but if I did it in a straight shot I would have been out of med school as far back as 1 or 2 years ago. Who knows, plus I am down here in Nashville. I can only imagine the response when I say I am living in Nashville. But then again that doesn't really matter when that is thrown in the face of some of the people who really fell off as soon as high school ended, I can think of a few people. By falling off I mean drugs or simply being locked into some 9-5 they really can't get out of because they didn't go to college or whatever. Best I can hope for is that one or two of the really picked on guys doesn't try and pull a Columbine. As far as I can tell I was never in the picking on someone else crowd so hopefully I'll get a pass if anything goes down. Believe me, there are plenty of jocks to knock of before ever even thinking of me.
I left Towson basically right away except for College Park where I was in touch with only two former classmates. One big problem though I can forsee is some of the classmates who I new forgetting which black guy I was. Caucasian's memories are like that. I am sure I will get a bunch of "hey Neil." I mean Neil wasn't even in our class, he was a year behind us for God's sake. I mean you are in a class with someone for like 4 years and they keep calling you by the name of one black guy they new in grade school who was never in their class. I used to get that while we were still in high school, I doubt it could get better. Hopefully name tags will solve that issue.
But if anything can good can come of this it will be with the date I hope to bring if I bring a date. I could also you the time to get info on some or one of the chicks who I had a crush on who wasn't in my grade but was tight with one of the girls in my class, hopefully she will come.
Just have to wait and see.
