It’s surreal to believe that we’ve lasted this long. August 21, 2010 officially marked our 10th year together. And the reunion was… Let’s just say we ate like a pig and drank like a fish for the most part of the night. The party wound down at around 3 AM. The others who were natural insomniacs—including me−bonded with rock songs from our high school past and mint cigarettes until we heard the birds chirping.
We started the day with a game of poker instead of breakfast. Haha!
Diverse. I never really thought about us that way. Never occurred to me until that time.
The original members, the later additions, South Bench people, Hillsboroughnians, the “borrowed” and “adopted” members from other groups, Vastos Squad, the plus 1′s (a.k.a. dedicated boyfriends) who have been there through thick and thin, TSUNAMI, the yoga fanatics, those other sub-groups that formed because we went to different universities. (The residents from Canada, America, and Singapore were absent. You were definitely MISSED!) Labels like these don’t seem to matter now, do they? I am happy that in spite of the diverse paths that every one of us has taken, my second family from the South is still intact.
Congratulations again to the Outrageously Ridiculously Groovy Youngsters, a.ka. the ORGY’s.
