High School Re-union

This year it's five years since I graduated from high school and on Friday we had our reunion. 15 people showed up out of 23 - that's not too bad. It was all very nice and cozy, but the best part was chatting to a couple of my good friends from "back then", who I totally lost contact with. Promises were made, of course, that we were gonna meet up soon, but even though I sincerely want it to happen, I don't want to get my hopes up.

Oh yeah, and I just loved watching Lene taking of her wedding rings and explaining the inscription about 100 times - I know whe's always been a bit jealous that we weren't the ones with the boyfriends, great clothes and exciting lives, and now all of a sudden, she's the one who's actually gotten married...and even better, she got married to something as exotic as a Brazilian guy (good thing none of them actually met him - nice guy and all, but he doesn't really create an atmosphere of carnivals and banana skirts). So good on ya, Lene.

Scary to think how competative we'll be at out 10 or 25 year reunion. I found it a bit silly that people kept asking whether you were pregnant or married, cause we're all 24-25, but at the same time I was pretty relieved that I actually have a live-in boyfriend, so I at least felt comfortable with who I am and where I am at this stage. Silly, but I guess you can never really escape expectations.

So I guess the last thing left to ponder now is what I want to be telling these people if we meet again in 5 years. I'll be 30 and finished at uni. I guess I'd like to be married at 30 and at least trying for those damn kids. And I'd prefer to be trying for those kids abroad somewhere - maybe the States or OZ - in some kind of exciting job...not sure what kind of job, but hey, I've got 5years to figure that out, right? :D
