So I recently joined Facebook and it is like one big high school reunion. It is really a blast from the past. There are people on there that I haven't seen or even thought about since high school, some of them I don't really even remember. Anyway, this one person on there invited me to an event. I knew this person from high school, but we were more like acquaintances rather than friends. She was more in the "popular" group and I was more in the "invisible" group. So, I am a little baffled by why she would invite me to this party. With that said, this party is really the kind of thing I would love to go to- it's a girl's weekend in a cabin on the lake with a boat and booze. It's right up my ally and something I never get to do. So I really want to go, but the scared little child inside me thinks "what if they're mean to me?" I remember being invited to this same person's slumber party when I was in 3rd grade and while I was sleeping they put toothpaste in my hair and when I got the invitation, that memory immediately came back to haunt me. This was like 25 years ago, surely these people are more mature than than now, right??
I know, I'm being really stupid and I should just go and have fun. We're all adults and I can handle it. Maybe I should brush up on my self defense skills just in case......(just kidding)

I think it sounds like a blast. You were ALWAYS great to hang out with and a lot of fun. I think that continues to grow with age so I bet you are an absolute "must have" now. (none of the labels we carried from school, just people living in the world) I think we all have insecurities like this - so no I do not feel you are being childish. I think it is very incredible for you to state how you honestly feel. More people should do that. WAY TO GO! Have fun and bring extra toothpaste just in case - just kidding ;0)
Oh, and about talking to everyone from so long ago again: I totally understand & agree! It is difficult to know who is genuine and who is not. We all have made lives for ourselves, and most of us don't want that interrupted with some baggage from the past. I like to think we have all matured and want mostly the same things. So it is really hard to accept people who didn't really accept you before - they just didn't know what they were missing! You were always a great and very honest & true friend - who knew how to have tons of fun.
