What I thought was going to be an awkward few hours of staring at people that looked somewhat familiar, it turned into an allnight blabfest with just a few disappointing no-shows. I wasn&#8217;t really all that interested in going and even got to the hotel room and started watching Shawshank Redemption before finally entering the fray. First off, 80&#8217;s popular music absolutely sucked. All it&#8217;s good for now is dancing at weddings. What a horrible legacy it&#8217;s left behind. The music selection was just a fright. Oh and the dinner&#8230; a chicken leg, a dollop of potatoes, and a bed of vegetables. Blech. Terrible. It was in a tent set up outside the Marriott and called the Lanai Terrace. Now, I haven&#8217;t been to Lanai, but I guarantee this was nothing like Lanai. I got my little wristband and it was good to walk in and immediately get recognized by the old gang. All said, no one&#8217;s really changed that much. Only one person in the whole class I would say I wouldn&#8217;t recognize on the street. Most of the clique barriers were down and people were inter-mingling quite fluidly. Except one set of girls, which wasn&#8217;t surprising as they were the &#8220;popular&#8221; clique anyway. They seemed much less popular tonight because of that. I had one guy come up to me and look at my name tag and say, &#8220;Nope, didn&#8217;t hang out with you&#8221;, and then walked off. It was funny though, not rude.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oy, High School Reunion.
