Don't i know you from somewhere?
Jul. 21st, 2010 08:07 amI was more tired than a tired thing yesterday. I woke up at 3 a.m. and never did get back to sleep. I don't know if i just couldn't get comfortable again or what. I got up to use the loo and eventually, when my body didn't fall back to sleep, my mind decided it must be time to get up so i laid there and tried to rest at least while i thought about all manner of various things. Nothing that was bothering me, just... stuff. I can tell you my eyes were like two piss holes in the snow yesterday! Got a good night's sleep last night, though, so am right as rain today. Odd expression, isn't it? But i am well rested. Good thing as i have the gym after work.
There's a high school reunion happening at the end of next week. Anyone that went to my school in the 1970s right back to the class of 69 is invited. 69 was the first graduating class of the new school that was built to replace an old high school. So class of 69 to 80, anyone that went there in the 70s and they're calling it That 70s Reunion, a play on the sitcom That 70s Show. There's a golf tournament, a harbour cruise, a fun run/walk and a dance on the Saturday night. Oh, yes, and there's a Monty Python night as well with skits re-enacted and a couple of movies being shown. We had a Monty club in high school, fueled mostly by the guys in our group. The girls just went along with it to hang out with the boys ;) We did all enjoy the show but it was the boys mainly that would put on Monty skits on stage at assemblies.
I've got tickets to the cruise and dance and i discovered yesterday that since it's also our city's "birthday" weekend, Natal Day, there's going to be fireworks on Saturday night. Now, the venue, if it's in the rooms i think it's going to be, has an outside deck that will provide a very good view of the harbour where the fireworks will be! Cool! I'll just have to get out on the deck before the crowds and stake out a good place to watch and try for some photos! The reunion itself will be interesting. There will be a lot of people there i don't know but i'm sure there will be some i do and perhaps i will meet some new faces, too.
Monday evening i went out to dinner with a group of high school people as a sort of pre-reunion reunion. Most of the attendees turned out to be in my sister's graduating year, from 1979 so i only knew a couple of them. My cousin went as well and later on someone from my year came too but i only had a chance to talk to her for a short while as we were leaving. She was someone i actually went to school with pretty much since i started school and was in the same class with me all the way through elementary and junior high. Once in high school where we were mostly then in different classes depending on the subjects we took.
