They asked me lots of questions about my life, seemed fascinated that i drove off after college to try and live in canada because i liked it there and had to turn back because i didn't have a sponsor. They were befuddled that i was a street and subway musician for six years, it just didn't compute in their minds and they had no idea how to respond to it other than "oh cool" and "isn't it dirty in the subways?"
i left before the reunion finished and found out the following week that i was voted most improved, and that one guy had a crush on me since 4th grade but never made any attempt to get to know me better.
Disappointment, and a night that would've been better spent watching reruns of all in the family.

i think you have a much better story to tell us.
Think small edited bios
would make good reading.
