Just Under The Wire...

Back in December (I think) I graced you with my presence. These visits are few and far between and should be coveted, at least in my estimation. When I started this "project" I probably said that I'd start and fail the effort to update with any semblance of normalcy. I do recall that I was waxing poetic about the prospecting of (finally) graduating college. It came and went with a blur, it was exciting, and I was proud that the people I care most about were there to celebrate it with me.

After a decade-long struggle to obtain a B.A., I find myself against a new (and in perhaps a more daunting) task...attending my 10 year high school reunion. It should be noted that this event is a good 6 months away, but that hasn't really stopped me from thinking of things to obsess about in the interim. In no particular order, here is the list that has been keeping me from sleeping (on and off) since this "reunion talk" has surfaced.

1. I barely graduated college before the reunion*
2. "Why is he still single?"
3. "I really feel sorry for him because he's single".
4. "Why is he alone?"
5. "I really feel sorry for him because he's alone".

* Denotes that this one is actually ranked in order of concern

I won't deny that I realize how utterly pathetic this is. It's just surprising to learn that I still give a shit what those people think, especially when I've been claiming for the last 9 years that I don't.
