Hope it goes well. Just remember that not everyone will have grown as you have. I went to one so long ago. I don't think any of us had grown up enough to really get it. I found it weird. Felt like hiding in the hallway most of the time I was so scared and geez I had a life. It's just that everyone looked and acted so strangely. Where were those beautiful people that I admired so much when I was 17? I was always a bit of a nerd. Not in the "social set" of the 17 year-olds back in my year.

Hope I haven't scared you out of it. It was worth going to, just was a bit like revisiting a house where one grew up... it's always so much more magnificent in our memories than if we go back 10 or 20 years later to revisit. Especially if you had a boy that you thought devine. Weird seeing them all grown-up and balding with a wife and three children. LOL

A 50th? Wow, that's amazing and by then maybe we've really got it. Hope you find the courage to go there, wren. Maybe I might then too!
