pstlyfdiva's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reunion Recap We went to NC this weekend for my high school reunion; an interesting time was had by all. On the way into town we stopped and had dinner and drinks with the only real-life guy I would have switch for. He and I have been friends since I moved to NC, when I was 15. we are polar opposites, he is the quintessential southern man. Not a redneck, but a southern gentleman, born and raised. And I am the free-spirit, creative liberal, raised in the North. How we ever became friends, I don’t know, but our friendship has always worked and I know he is a friend for life. We hadn’t seen each other in four years until this weekend, but we didn’t miss a beat, it was just as if we hung out last weekend. I love him dearly and hope he finds a woman that can deal with his neurosis sometime. Saturday we went shopping with Miss C (not to be confused with C, my gf). She and I HATED one another when I moved to NC, until we were on a French class trip to Paris with our teacher later that year that we realized that we were both of the mindset of “I am who I am, I don’t care what you think about that”. From that point on we became closer and closer. Now she is like my sister and I cannot imagine going through the trials and tribulations of life without her. Ironically she lives about 20 minutes away from my parent in AZ. They both came to our hotel room before the reunion so we could have a cocktail and loosen up beforehand. Then we headed to the bar where the reunion was being held. We graduated with only 64 people, so they combined our class with the class below, which was smart thinking, as there wouldn’t have been enough people otherwise. Most of the “in crowd” from high school wasn’t there…which wasn’t surprising. They were big fish in a little pond then and I believe they got out in the real world and discovered they weren’t what they thought they were. Also, from the little bit I have heard through the grapevine, their lives aren’t all that fabulous and actually quite sad. Many are divorced or in the process of getting a divorce. How sad that they really are having “starter marriages”. The most successful and interesting people were the geeks, which made me happy. “The geeks shall inherit the earth.” I really enjoyed talking to a few of people, all of which were the high school geeks. One made C feel very comfortable and right at home. I was very thankful for that. That woman even told C, “Good for PstLyfDiva for being comfortable enough to bring you.” Our school was not accepting of anything or anyone different, so it was “huge” for me to bring C and out myself to all these people. Miss C did get asked when I decided to be lesbian though. She responded with, “When she realized that p—is wasn’t worth it”. Go Miss C. Someone else asked the Southern Gentleman if C was my son! *Shakes head* C has short hair, but very much looks like a woman – her face is feminine, she has a small chest and she has hips and a but – obviously a woman…some people just can’t see past short hair. Even given them the benefit of the doubt on that one, it was nuts! C looks young, but not like an 8 year old, I can see how people who think she is a boy would think she is around 16. Even so, even if she was only 12, I would have been 17 when I had her and therefore in high school!!! In this most proper of high schools, no one was pregnant; they would have remembered if the captain of the cheerleading squad was carrying a beach ball under her uniform! People can be so daft. All in all it was a much better time than I expected. I reconnected with a few people I have wondered about from time to time and even some who hadn’t been on my radar. 10:55 a.m. - 2006-04-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
