I dreamed it wa? 10-? cla?eunion last night.

I was in a?el l??st kind ?utzing around. I? different in a way ???, al?gh not inside, a?ondering who I'd see and whe? it was ?h all the money I'd spent to come. Nervo?, I scanned the faces of the??ivals, looking f?omeone friendly, when one showed up.

Let's call? Megan. I had thought of? only once in the decade that had passed since g?ation -- and that one time had been ? dre?here I bumped into her in a hotel lobby at our 10-year c??nion.

She was ?ing a white ?s with a pearl choker that dd down her decolletage like an Arizo??rst. She smiled and said hello, and I thought to?elf I?en&#? tho? of ??ch but once in 10 years. I m??ot;bitch" in kind of a good? -- although she had been un?ving in her ?? of ?ain ?le and m? of ?ght, she? still an ef??ersonality, and we had competed for good grades in a?he AP courses we'd coincidentally taken toge?. Sometimes I got the be? grade and lorde? over he???? she did the?ding?erall, it was a good time.
?>She??remely attra?e, b?as one of those geek??ho approach their academics with the bloodth? of a Tatar. She ran?h th?her geek???ere in band and ?us a?he Humanities & Etymology So?y and the National H? Soc? and all that, a?hey ?tere?ound? even here, two ?hem, fading into the background as f??ely reco?able? wholly unmemorable.
And he??as, linking her arm with mine and we went in?he b?oom, which looked li??ypic? crappy Event hosted by ? run-of-the-mill chain hotel?h fo?tar aspirations. We sat down at a table toge? and drank c?agne, and I told? all about living and working in DC and doin? thing. She told me all ?t how she'd foun?t there'd been a?hese?ls in hi?chool who knew her, ?? name, knew all the stuff she'd done academically, b?hom she had ?her ?? even met.
?>The bubbliness ??ed as sh?sed on h?he'd?ually been popular ?>Aga? this ba?ound, she looked even livelier as she to?ario?upplicants for httention, all th???ho'd become ?ers and artists and ?arians, but ?t he?n occupation, she remain?ilent. W?ent ? of the evening ??, and then .?ell, suffice it ???est ?he n? doesn&#? need description.

?? an ?edibly random dream -- she was one name I'??ly forgotten??his drea?edge? up against all ?on. Not to menti???sive?ure ?he dream, given the way ? I'd remembered the drea?self while I? dreamin?? though I were actually seei?he f?e and remembering that I'?een it. It&#?? the??ime it&#??pened, but it's ?ainl?rongest ?ance?>
