High School Reunion Part 2...

Okay, before I even start my post, let me get all the short jokes out of the way. I am the shortest. To be fair, I am also the only Asian person, so when you live in the land of giant white people it isn't unreasonable that I am the shortest.

I attended my 20 year high school reunion at the X-Bar in Century City. This is the reason I went, so Brentt, JD, Russ and I could be in the same place at the same time. We have not all been together since high school.

So it was great to see them and just hang out. What is even better is that everyone is doing very well personally and financially and everyone is still really down to earth. Instead of it being 20 years that has gone by it only seems like 20 days and talking to them just comes naturally.

This is my very FIRST friend I ever had...Chris. He lived around the block from me. We went to the same Elementary School and High School. He also ended up going to prison, so we haven't seen each other much since prison. In any case, he is doing well and lives in Maine.

This is pretty much who I hung out with in High School minus 3 other minorities (missing a tall black guy, an Indian dude and a Mexican dude...seriously). Russ, Brentt, Sony and I all went to publiuc elementary school, Jr. High and High School together. JD and I went to private elementary school and High School together.

The highligt of the evening was catching up with the other 6 people I went to elementary school with. I honestly had no idea that we even went to the same high school. We all left our private elementary school at different times and we all went and left high school at different times.

It was very strange because if you asked me who I went to elementary school with I would have no idea. My brain just would not remember. However when I was at the reunion, all the memories of elementary school came back and I remembered everyone!

Jim Cogshell, Soroya, JD, Giana Garcia, Craig Snyder and Chris:


What was even more bizarre was how many people knew me in High School. It was really strange for me when people came up to say, "HELLO" and how good it was to see me when I had a hard time remembering who they were! I honestly, did nothing in high school...I hardly even remember being in class my freshman and sophomore years.

Oh well...good times...and now JD will have to come out to LA and visit more often!
