Dear Wendy
I was thrilled to hear from you, but your letter did not answer to the truly burning question (which I haven't actually asked you yet): Are we going to the damn reunion?
I find, in pondering the thing, that the only person I have any real interest in seeing is you. Well, okay, maybe I have the teensiest (emphasis on the 'teen' part of that word) desire to see Adam R. I live with my boyfriend, however -- and I still like him quite a lot -- so I should probably abandon any little annelid fantasies I may have been harboring for the past 20 years...
Oddly enough, I have no recollection of being impressed with Gowan in Saran Wrap pants. I DO remember being quite affected by the lead singer of Until December (I think they opened up for Gene Loves Jezebel at Bogart's?) in his black leather pants with the asscheeks cut out... I had no idea at the time that such a thing might be immediately construed as 'homoerotic' by some people. Of course, it never occurred to me that Kate and Kevin -- who used to, when I'd ask, "Do I go straight here?" sing out in unison, "Never straight, always forward!" -- might be gay. Duh.

Right. They sent an email to my dad -- where they got his email address is absolutely baffling to me -- asking for updated contact info. I contacted them, gave them my address, blah blah blah... The reunion invitation went to my mother's address in Kentucky. Again, how they got that address, I have no idea -- we don't even have the same last name.
Anyway, yes, there is a reunion -- October 6 and 7.
This is also my first blogging experience... and I think it's a fairly free-form genre. Feel free to post anything -- pictures, rants, acerbic observations on anything at all (as you are so good at)...
I'm trying to decide how I feel about the privacy thing... anyone who knows me, obviously, would know it's me. The likelihood of anyone who knows me just stumbling on this is... low, I think. I don't know.
My burning question for you is: did YOU go? Strangely enough, the WHHS Alumni Association can locate my address to send me requests for financial contributions but not reunion information. Motivation, I guess.
Nope, I didn't go. It wasn't even really a decision... sometime in November, it occurred to me that I had missed it.
