Romy & Michelle (Part I)

Ian and my 10-year high school reunion was Thanksgiving weekend.
Friday night was at RFD in Chinatown — a casual evening that eventually resulted in the center of the room being occupied by the “cool” kids and the introverts clustering off to the sides. Ian had a great idea of writing our Myers-Brigg type on our name tags, since that would probably help us more than reading a name barely associated with distant memories. (It helped that we were standing in a group of 3 INTPs and one INFP.) Unfortunately, that didn’t catch on, so we were left socializing with the people we did remember. ;)
I caught up with a few people with whom I was mostly friends by association — nice people, but fell out of touch once we didn’t have required daily contact. Then, I moved on to talking with spouses. I’m not surprised, but it was interesting to see how much fun the non-high school spouses were having. They weren’t expected to know anyone and had plenty of easy conversation starters. I ended up talking with someone’s wife for half an hour without actually catching up with my classmate!
Embarrassing moment of the evening: Ian and I were in such a hurry to leave once we decided it was time to go that I forgot to close out my tab. Which meant that I left my credit card at the bar. Oops… (Thankfully I was seeing many of the same people on Saturday night, so I just got one of my friends to close out for me. *phew*)
