It's a record

Two posts in one day? It can't be! Ok, you're right. That first post today is one I started last August and finally got around to finishing. But this one is new. Let's see how long this takes to write.

I got a couple of inquiries regarding a post from some months back where I mentioned my plan to attend a college reunion. Yes, I did go. No, it wasn't awful. It wasn't even terribly awkward. The Messiah College (jesus christ, what the hell kind of name is that for a college? I digress) class of 1991's 15 year reunion set a record for the highest 15 year reunion attendence in the history of 15 year reunion attendance taking. I saw a bunch of old friends. It was great fun. Everybody looks GREAT. Well, The women all look great...thin, fit and no gray hair (bitches). The men have aged a little more unevenly, from "you look exactly the same" to "omigod! Who's the grandfather over there". There were two of us (hi Cathy!) who were brave enough not to dye our hair. I'm on to the rest of you girls, I KNOW your hair can't possibly be as grey-free as you are putting on. I developed a theory about reunions and looks. The reason everybody looked so great there (and made me feel dowdy) is because the ones who haven't preserved as well don't show up. I'm convinced of my theory and will be writing for research grants as soon as I can figure out what foundation would want to research this.

I have no pictures of this reunion. Why not? Because I left my camera in the car. Why? Because I wore tight jeans that make me look as slim as possible and twarn't room for a camera in them pockets. Twaren't room for a single sheet of note paper in them pockets. Maybe I should have stayed home with the other, normally proportioned classmates. Too late.
