After thinking it over for a couple years after that (yeah, I'm that slow), I came to the conclusion I didn't go because I changed. <BR/><BR/>Not physically--although I clearly did--but emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't the same insecure, inexperienced kid. I was more confident, independent and more curious about life. The fact was, I didn't <I>need</I> those guys anymore. I could stand on my own.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even consider going to my 20th.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your decision.

I'm totally cool with my nerdness now, and I also have no need or desire to be 17 again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-35370646177343703842008-02-29T14:32:00.000-08:002008-02-29T14:32:00.000-08:00AB-so-frickin-lutely!No good can come of it!

My thought is if they were your kind of people (and by that I mean people you could have conversations with and like it) you wouldn't need a reunion to "remember the good ol days". I also lived on the outskirts of the suburb of popularville, but with a perfectly lovable life now, I have no desire to visit those feelings again.Happy hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626877261153855077noreply@blogger.com
