The Dreaded School Reunion
August 25th 2011 05:47
“The old dreams were good dreams. They didn't work out, but I’m glad I had them.” - The Bridges of Madison County (1995) – Robert Kincaid (Clint Eastwood).
Is there life after high school? Do people ever recover from the experience?
Everyone dreads the day that the class reunion email ends up in your in-box.
Depending on how high school treated you or vice versa you can almost smell the fear.
The thoughts start running through mind - diets, gyms, detox - nothing is beyond the realms of belief as all and sundry aim to knock the socks off old enemies and flames.
Reunions are apparently about catching up with everyone - yeah right - what you really want is to check out the ravages of middle age on the cool kids.
Was that hot sporting jock now just another balding man with he-boobs?
Are the girls who thought they were so cool smoking behind the bike sheds now fitness freaks, or will they still be puffing away outside in the cold.
Will the princess still be sporting the latest designer handbag and perfect nails - or will she be a bitter divorced woman that no man is capable of pleasing?
Is there life after high school?
“If I'm back here at a reunion in twenty years talking about how wonderful high school was, just shoot me.” Bringing Rain (2003) – Ori Swords (Larisa Oleynik)
Oh and gentlemen - try to avoid the topic of urinals, it may bring back flashbacks
