So the time is nigh… As in. It’s almost here. It is time for me to pack my bags and head west. To Hubby’s 10 year high school reunion. Hmm. I’m not too sure how I am going to go with this. I can be a bit ‘blah’ in giant rooms of people I don’t know when left to my own devises. Which I imagine I will because Hubby will know everyone (almost) and will want to say hello and chat. This is just the way he is.
So I sent out an SOS on facebook (of course, derr) and asked as a plus one at a reunion what is appropriate behaviour/protocol. What do I do… I was told to drink basically. To be the token drunk holding up the bar and to nod and smile a lot. Great. Wonderful advice. Seriously! I could have come up with that on my own. In fact it had been the entire plan up until now.
I mean I don’t really know these people. I live a good 6 hours away. Hubby doesn’t really stay in contact with too many of them anyway. Maybe I should just throw caution (and food… Hmmm food fight, ice breaker..?) to the wind and go all out.
So the main questions I have about reunion guest type behaviour. Do I follow Hubby around as he flits from group to group awaiting the introduction which I know will happen (the intro and the flitting)? Or do I set up camp and try not to look too intimidating to the other newbie ring ins and attempt to make friends there? Or do I simple throw myself into the nearest group and introduce myself and commence drinking heavily… Or you know. Somewhere in between, a happy medium would be nice.
So what is your advice for a kinda shy, until I settle in, party pooper on how to do the whole reunion thing. Tell me oh wise ones. Bestow your bold plans upon me.
Seriously. Help!
