Sent in an email to my sister, re-related here for all and sundry. I forgot that I have no secrets:
Not really super secret. Actually maybe I'll just write this and then post it into my blog. So Trish Kimbell, Erin Landaker and Gabe Grunbaum all showed up at my house, of all places, to meet before going over to the actual reunion. It was weird seeing those three all together. At the reunion they had a memorial wall set up for the students that died. Leah's mom gave them a photo album filled with all these pictures from highschool and some even from junior high of Erin and Leah and me at eighth grade graduation. And then Hilary Conroy told Erin and Me that Leah's mom had asked to see the two of us the next day, either at the barbecue that was planned for Sunday or somewhere else if that wouldn't work. So Erin and I were a little freaked out about that all night but we did end up meeting with her and I got to see Leah's little sisters all growned up and it was really nice to just get together and talk about old times and tell funny stories. Her mom got a little teary when she first drove up but she was fine after that. Erin and I were both a little worried that it would just be a big blubbery mess but it was kind of fun. I totalllllly fell in love with Corey Brown, who you don't remember I'm sure. I didn't remember he existed and couldn't even remember his last name. He teaches english and coaches soccer at a high school in fremont. Pretty close to you! I mostly talked to him along with Trish and Erin and Katie Selman and Sarah Bray (mike bray's little sister!) Oh and Cole Bray, the cousin of sarah and mike who is the funniest person ever a fact which I had to relate to him over and over drunkenly. And this one guy, Tod Gallon, who was simply the hit of the whole night, making everyone laugh non stop for hours and hours. Everyone was talking about Todd. Honestly, my stomach was sore for two days after just from laughing and having fun. I did drink a little so I am leaving big chunks out like an interesting conversation I had with Jeff Strutz and some high jinx with Gabe Grunbaum who was also a lot of fun. And some people are married and have children and some people don't and aren't and some people have good jobs and A LOT of people don't and some people are still in school or going back to school. Oh! And Stacey Alger. Who is still hilarious and just had a baby three weeks ago. And I actually hung out with Jessica Freitas and was surprised with how jaded she has become and how much it suits her. That's it, in a nutshell. Fucking Crazy Motherfucking shit, if you ask me.

Thank you for the top secret message! It sounds like an awful lot of fun. Maybe I'll go to my 20th. I forgot about Gabe Grunbaum. You know, if any of these people does a search on their own name they're going to find your blog about how in love with them you are. But I guess that's the point of the e-Net. We may move to Fremont. The most important question I have, though, is what did you WEAR???? That would be my problem. I'd have no idea. I hope someone sends you pictures that you will, in turn, post for the world and me.
I hope you wore your brown shoes that you wore to the wedding.
I still want to know what you wore.
It was Yreka at the grange so i didn't want to go all crazy and look like I was trying too hard. Most people were not dressed up much. I just wore jeans and a black sparkly pretty shirt that I got for a christmas party last year. And then everyone made fun of it all night because they thought it extremely odd that Mandy Murphy would wear something with sequens. Times have changed, as sarah bray stated. And they have. Times have changed. I did not wear my brown heels, however Marigold. I would have been dying as I stood up and walked around and was in gravel much of the night.
Oh, and I hope they do search for their own names and read my blog. I love people to read my blog. I wish more people would read it and comment on it. There are lurkers, oh yes. Lurkers.
Man, the Grange. In movies it's always fancy decorated gymnasiums or hotels and people in formal wear. Like Romy and Michelle and Kathleen Turner and Superman. But Yreka is Yreka. I bet you were very pretty in your sparkles and excessive makeups.
