Tonight is my 35th High School Reunion. But wait...I was just a teenager, wasn't I?
Bless the organizer, Michael, because really, it's like organizing a wedding without the bride and groom while at the same time tracking down people and then getting everyone to commit at the very last minute. I bought my tickets a month ago.
That chick up there was an interesting girl. In hindsight, I liked her despite probably NOT liking her all the time.
I was one of those teens who hung out with a myriad of different "groups" but stuck with some of the same friends from elementary school throughout the years.
I had a few boyfriends and then I fell head over heels in love towards the middle of my senior year and from then on in, it was all about "us."
I was chatting with my friend Donna this morning and said I have large chunks of black holes where my life happened but I don't remember a freaking thing about it. It was comforting to know she has the same issue.
Tonight I will catch up with some of my favorite people and miss a lot who can't be here.
This is from the yearbook - Senior Favorites from 1979.
I just noticed we spelled Barbra Streisand wrong...
Also - note the favorite drink was BEER. The drinking age WAS 18 then.

I have been told we graduated on June 23, 1979 - so I decided to see what songs were on the top then. Then I decided to see what was the top song for the year.
The Top 5 Songs of 1979
As 52-53 year adults we have NO right to bitch about "today's lyrics."
OUR favorite song was "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" which I already used HERE - and we all know where that song goes.
Here's to the class if '79 - we ARE mighty fine.
