So the weekend was interesting to say the least. Friday night we roll up an hour late and immediately I am feeling like I am back in High School. I was nervous and had no idea what or who to expect. The first person to greet me was an old neighbor. A good Mormon boy whom we played football with on our street. My best friends (well two of them) and I all lived on the same street. I was thrown a little off guard by his long curly hair and couldn't for the life of me remember his name! I was thinking, he is Dieter, right? I knew the other guy with him well, I was friends with him since Elementary school so I was comfortable introducing my husband, so I said "Andrew this is Blake and Dieter" and Steve puts out his hand and says "Steve". That is right, it was Steven! OMG! Bury my now. I went on like I never said that and talked some more. Feeling like crawling in a hole.
Then I hear the murmurs, "Kim, J.C. is right over there." OMG, I can't talk to him. OMG, I don't want to talk to him.
J.C. what do I say about J.C.? He used to stare at me in chemistry. Enough to make me want to leave the class. He would just stare. Then he asked me to a dance and having never had a date before let alone a boyfriend I decided to go. Then things moved fast, first kiss at 16 (!) and a lot of other firsts. He was obsessive, controlling and not a fun boyfriend to say the least. We dated for 6 months, I didn't go to New York that summer b/c of him and then I broke it off. He made things difficult for me, he would still tell me he loved me. Write me letters, just creeped me out. He was the last person I wanted to see. I would have rather seen my ex husband than J.C.
So when I saw him and knew in order to reach my pizza I would have to pass him, I realized I could just skip out on dinner. But he came to me. Ugh.
"J.C.! Hi! It is so great to see you!" I lied as I hugged him, him and his extra 50 pounds he managed to put on. He introduces me to his beautiful, young wife and proceeds to list off all the places he saw me in the past 10 years. None of which I had any recollection of. I have to admit it was a little annoying to hear of his mission he served for the LDS church when I know what kind of boyfriend/person he was. But whatever, to each their own. I introduced him to Andrew and then came in Brandi and I was so excited to see her I totally skipped out on hearing anymore about how I was seen 50 yards away at the movies 8 years ago and I was wearing a tube top.
Brandi and I lost contact after I left all my friends New Years Eve to hang out with now said husband. I just said, at least it was worth it right? We laughed. It was so good to see some people.
What I wasn't expecting was seeing such an insecure side of my husband. He was so miffed by my nervousness to see J.C. that he thought I still dug him. I said "did you see him?!" He said "you didn't know what he would look like now." I said again "Did you see him?" I was going on about me not introducing him to people and not being by his side. This is coming from the guy who we go to a party and split up the entire night. Same guy that wouldn't bat an eye if an entire football team were to hit on me, but he was afraid of my 1st HS boyfriend. So weird. He said "why did Allison have to call you and tell you he was fat?" I reply with "because we are girls!" It was strange. The whole thing was very odd.
The Saturday night thing was even stranger. It would have had a better showing if they didn't hire some dumb dotcom to do the whole thing. I could have done it better and cheaper and by far cooler. But I got my drink on. I danced. I saw some old friends. I traded name tags with my friend Kim. I know wild right... well it had our Senior picture on it, so it did make it a little funny. Plus Kim's dad was our Vice Principal, so her name tag gave me some clout! Mine just gave her bad hair! OK, a lot funny when people came by and tried to figure out who we were.
All and all it was a fun weekend. I enjoyed being with my friends and seeing faces that I actually wanted to see.
No major drama, I knew my ex wouldn't be there, not his style. I saw a guy that couldn't make up his mind about me. We dated a little, made out a couple times, but we always did better as friends. It was fun to see him since he was gorgeous in HS and not so much anymore. The best looking guy, besides my insecure husband of course was a small guy who used to play in a band. I saw him and said "OMG Chris! Do you remember me?" He said "of course!" so that was cool. He was a hottie ma tottie with a cute little boy in a mohawk. Did I mention we brought our kids Friday night? Everyone was real cool with Lily, talking to her and telling me how beautiful she is.
So this is long and probably of no interest to you all, but I have always wondered about my reunion. Who would go, what would it be like and it is over and done. Another 10 years to do it again.
I see the Dr. tomorrow to follow up on the blood work. I have been feeling great, then boom last night dizzy again and all this morning. My ear feels clogged so that could be it. I am so done with being dizzy.
I got this from Kelly I thought it was interesting http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460 apparently I am a Giuliani girl. Next is Edwards and third is Biden. Makes sense since I am Independant, makes sense to have both parties chillin in my hood.

I've often wondered what my reunions would be like. Would I actually like anyone - would the people who were mean to be finally have grown up or would I continue to be intimidated by them.
Oh well, unlikely I'd go and none of my friends from college are heading to that one, so I doubt I'll go there either.
Glad you had fun!
I got Edwards with Clinton a close second????? So much for being Republican.
