My high school ten year reunion was held this last Saturday. I paid the twenty dollars in advanced and arrived early. After thirty minutes had passed, I was in my car heading back to my parent's house. I never ate a bite, and didn't say goodbye to anyone.
I didn't have a bad expereince during my high school years. I had close friends and was highly active in choir and theater. I got good grades as well. I had some people who enjoyed teasing me, but I never let it bother me. So why did I leave?
I actually felt God wanted me to leave. I felt a heavy weight while I was in the room. As soon as I left, the weight lifted. Maybe I am insecure, maybe I am odd, maybe I am an introvert. But, I felt much better after I left. I spent some quality time with my parents instead. I have moved on, and have no desire to revist my past.

I skipped my 10 year--partly b/c it was on a Saturday night and I just couldn't miss church on the Sunday that followed and partly b/c the though of going made me all twitchy. I liked high school, too, and facebook, etc. has helped me stay in touch with some classmates, but I doubt I'll go to any of my reunions.
Jason and I went to his 10 year. It was at a racetrack, involved a lot of alcohol and bad music, and was pretty dreadful. We probably stayed about an hour.
