High School Reunion ugh!

I saw a dear old friend of mine (Lori) last sat. at her aunt's 80th birthday party and of course our high school reunion came up, its this June or July. Went to the 10th and it was ok but not enough time for me had passed and my awkwardness (good word for it) was in high gear.
It is now our 30th reunion and for some reason I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and a tad curious.
Previously I had seen a gal who graduated a year before me, while ordering at a bakery in town, and she was all amped about her reunion and was kinda admonishing me for not wanting to go to mine. I respectfully and repeatedly told her I wasn't a popular kid and reunions were for them and maybe for the kid who felt the need to show out not the awkward girl who blended in the crowd. Thankfully our order was up and I could get the heck out of there!
Ok let me back track to my dear friend Lori, we met in the 7th grade. We were both new to the school and area. Our first day at school we were paraded around together, introduced and shown the school and our classes. Although she was very nice to me, in the 7th grade my 12 year old figure was more like a 7 year old and hers was already um well formed :) Plus she had the face of a goddess, a combination of a young Goldie Hawn and Brooke Sheilds. Me, geeze I looked like the uglier twin of Kristie McNichol. Life can really stink sometimes and for a very immature and awkward 12yr old this was pretty stinky! But even tho everyone wanted to be her friend she found time for me, plus she lived the next street over (hee hee). Anyway back to the reunion.
She wanted me to go and hang out and told me to check out our (giggle) official high school reunion website. I did and whoaaa!!! Never knew this was there and even added myself to the mix even getting some emails from a couple of gals from back in the day. That was sweet and lovely.
So the 2 gals I hung with the most are going to the reunion and I decided to go to the cocktail thingie and not the dinner. Its a good compromise.
