Class of 1987... yeah, I agree. I haven't had kids. I'm not married or partnered. I don't even own a real sofa. Shit -- wasn't I supposed to have done more before I was this old?? <br/><br/>Yeah.... naw. I have done a lot. LLOT. Just not any of the things you're "supposed to". I think we are a big important in between generation, and that makes it confusing. Our parents were pretty traditional in what they did when / how they "became adults". The kids coming up today (those hipsters) think of course you can do whatever whenever who cares. It was our generation who really lived through so many of the shifts. It was us who first said, yeah, I know I am a woman, but I'm going to really have a carreer, and do that other thing whenever I get around to it. It's us who on mass made different choices... the X generation. So 2oth high school reunion still sounds so old, and turning 40 seems impossible. We are not doing this like our parents!

Sigh. I am sure when you go to your 20th, it will be as mine was. Fun to see of the ol' friends, but wondering where in the hell the ones you wanted to see were. However, you will one of the one's they say "hasn't changed a bit:)" and they'll mean that as a compliment.<br/><br/>Cute video! It’s the language, thing, dear. Sigh.

Anyway, my 20th HS reunion was last Thanksgiving and I missed the bloody thing, which I do indeed regret, so I advise you not to make the same mistake. I would have loved the chance to hold hands in a big circle singing "We Are The World." Ah yes.<br/><br/>As for feeling young, people always are surprised when I tell them my age (i.e. they expect lower, not higher, pttttht). What's disappointing is that my real age seems to be catching up with me. Sometimes was a 10-year gap (woo-hoo!) but now is down to around 5 or 6 years. Sigh. I need to feel young and silly again, so it will once again express itself on my face.<br/><br/>As for zits, oy vey.... I've accepted that those buggers won't end until I'm using a Zimmer frame.
