Somehow in my drunken stupor on Friday evening I had the sense to wash the make-up off my face, but when I woke up Saturday morning the fake eyelashes were still superglued to my eyes and really uncomfortable.

I couldn't believe I wasn't hungover... ok I sorta was. I spent the day in this odd sort of haze. Druhil and I sauntered over to Newbury St for brunch/lunch at Trident, then we went to RedSox's place to hang out. That afternoon, Dru had been invited to a bbq out in Brookline and I tagged along.

The bbq was full of random Tufts people from undergrad. None were my friends, but I was happy to see them nonetheless. I also started drinking again.

We spent several hours there, one hour stuck in sox traffic and 2 hours stuck in a restaurant that couldn't handle a wedding party on the same weekend as graduation... even tho there were plenty of empty tables. (Sam, you woulda *loved* this. Snarf)

When we finally made it to Vox for the reunion, we were greeted by a line. Let me remind you that I'm not a big fan of Vox, especially because it is never packed. I found the line to be ridiculous.

Anyways, right away I knew the kid standing in front of me... except we didn't go to Tufts together. We went to high school together. So we chatted, and then the Tufts people started to pop up everywhere. I forgot I knew a lot of people from undergrad. I'm not surprised I only remembered the men.

I broke out into hives when I got upstairs. People started approaching me from every direction to hug and say hi. Many I recognized, but overall it was overwhelming and I had to run to the ladies room to calm down. I knew I partied a lot in college, but somehow I thought I always saw the same people.

Miraculously, I didn't see a single ex-sorority sister. Either they never showed or left early. Regardless, I had an amazing time. I saw all my former roommates, a bunch of ChemE's, pretty much everyone I wanted to see and then some.

RedSox met up with me, and I introduced him to everyone. There were plenty of whispers of awe as I was known as the quintessential single gal... *the* predator.

I found it all amusing... and I look forward to our next reunion... imagine 10 years later.
