Kate, you should probably make sure you've booked your move to Denver by then, so you aren't stuck in the ol' "Yeah, I live in my parents' basement" convo.

My 10-year high school reunion is coming up next month, and my best friend said to me, "Kate, you should probably make sure you've booked your move to Denver by then so you aren't stuck in the ol' "Yeah, I live in my parents' basement" convo.."  Good advice no doubt.

The reunion planner created a Facebook page, and my fellow assmates have been making the most ridiculous and rude comments - from updating everyone on the "exciting" happenings of their lives (filming porn, having babies, harvesting corn - not kidding, someone actually said their attendance depended on whether or not her husband would be harvesting corn - kinda awesome, but also really funny) to complaining about the location of the event to being super self-important with things like, "I have xyz (soooo important). I might be able to come. I'll get back to you." Get back to whom? The Facebook page? Nobody carrrrrrrrrres why you may or may not be coming - just rsvp yes or no!  So although Sara's advice is sound, I think I'll take this opportunity to follow suit with these posts:

"Let me check with my parents, and I'll get back to you."

"I can only come if my roommates will let me borrow the minivan...or maybe they can drop me off - yessssssss Designated Driver!!! Let me ask and get back to you!"

"I have to make sure someone can assume my responsibilities of taking care of the family cat. Will keep you posted on whether I can get coverage or not."

"Oooooh I'm not sure if I can make it out - I need to save the air in my mom's bike tires (see A Few Things to Work On)."

And for your reading pleasure, a few of the assmate comments. Ladies and gentlemen, the BHS Class of 2001:
I graduated in 2002. I was supposed to graduate in 2000 but was held back twice (does this mean you won't be coming then? Or are you just bragging?)

Am I the first to respond that I can be there? lol...Filming here in Chicago so I'm around and would love to reconnect with all of you:) See you there!  (She was about the 30th person to rsvp, and we're pretty sure "filming" refers to porn. Either way, thanks for dropping that in - you're really important.)

who is in charge of this ???foxes??? i've been planning events for like ten years now...we could do this in the city at Enclave on the lower level for probably the same price or maybe even less and all it will take is like a weekend of phone calls we could do open bar and have a dj plus table seating for everyone...someone please contact me at ANY time 630-802-5553 we can disscuss all kinds of options that im sure we haven't explored yet...lets work to make this a really fun experience people!!  honestly all you can drink and the red carpet night of your life for 45 a head...maybe cheaper and all by this evening  (Just what the 80% of people with kids and the other 15% who have never nor never want to set foot in a club want to do - go clubbing. Romy and Michele would so be on board, though.)
