My Ten Year High School Reunion! Its Fun Being So Fabulous!

Greetings and salutations to all in the blogging world who read me!!

I have been insanely busy with work and school and an upcoming dinner party at my house that I have had no time to sit down and actually post but I have tried to keep my my reading of the blogs that I love. I am sorry If my comments have been sparse, i such a windy old heifer that it eats up time and that is something that I have been hemmoraging! Now on with the post!

Picture it Ozark, Arkansas 1995.

It was a muggy Friday evening and we were all making our way across the local football field. All of our futures lay ahead of us. We would be going our seperate ways that night. Some of us to never see each other again in the case of a classmate who was killed in a car wreck.

I moved away to Fayetteville to start my college career and also to come out of the closet. I was extremely tired of living a lie.

Now picture it Ozark, Arkansas labor day weekend 2005.

I pulled up with my friend Princess and we got out of the car. It was hot and the meet and greet we were heading off to was in the old high school gymnasium. Immediately my stomach turned into knots. I was about to see some of the people who I had never really cared to see again. I walked in and was immediatly greeted by my old friend Crystal who I have seen off and on over the years and she gave me a big hug. It was good to see her. There were a great number of other folks there who you could tell were uncomfortable. Shortly after my departure from the town my fag hag and one of my dearest friends in high school had professed her love for me and was extremely upset that i did not want to "be straight" and marry her. She had told the entire town. The ice quickly melted though I started chatting and talking and people started talking to Princess and soon you could tell we all realized we had moved past high school. That most of what had seperated us and had kept us all apart was just silly at this point.

We all moved over to the football field for the game. In the ten short years i have been gone they have developed an in county rivalry with another school we were all puzzled by this. We were different divisions than Charleston when we were in school.

We all began to congregate and talk and more people showed up. It was a great time. My old friend Kelly who had moved away before senior year was there. I love Kelly she has always marched to the beat of her own drum and everyone else be damned. She showed up looking runway model fabulous and had jaws agape as she walked by. People said she looked like she has been in New york all these years, but I knew where she had been. In Fayetteville with me like me just being herself. The idle chit chat continued and Princess made a friend.

As the game progressed quite few more folks arrived. I looked up at one point and saw my old friend Colin coming across the track and proceeded to yell "WELL THANK GOD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS GAINED WEIGHT!!!!" Evil I know, but it made me feel better, his belly being from his love of beer mine from laziness and a love of food. He introduced me to his wife, Christy and let me tell you this chick is the BOMB! I had found my new friend for the evening. She is a former cheerleader from Louisiana Tech and just loads of fun to be around. Once she and i started cutting it up a lot of the folsk who used to not talk to me in high school must have decided i was either ok or just funny because they were just flocking around.

We went from there as a huge group to have dinner at a local pizza joint and then went on to Crystal's house just outside of town. As usual i was just one of the girls and sat in the floor and just chopped it up with the women folk in the living room. Princess like the royalty she is sat in a chair and held court.

Overall it was a fabulous time! Princess said if the husband can't get away to come with me to the next one she is so there!
