The Class of '05 Rides Again. (200th Entry- Wow-hoo!)
I just got invited to my 10-year high school reunion. Oh my god, I can't believe it went by that fast. 19 just feels a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'll be 39 before I know it?
Anyway, here are four tunes I associate with my senior prom. (We're actually having our reunion at the same place, apparently. That'll be a trip.)
"Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing
Prom theme. 80's nostalgia was riding high in 2005. They played this on the fake red carpet they set up in front of my school for the after-prom, where parents and siblings played fake paparazzi. It was so much fun.
"Forever Young" from Napoleon Dynamite
Everyone was obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite senior year. Also, the faculty bitched about the fact that the prom for 2004 was basically wall-to-wall contemporary hip-hop. so they forced the playlist to include older stuff that they'd like. I remember slow dancing to this to my good friend Kayla...she was a pretty cool chick.
"Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani
This was the big hit tune that year...it's got a great beat and you can dance to it.
Finally...this was our designated "cheesy slow dance" love song. He was the boyfriend of Ashlee Simpson, who had gotten her own reality show that was running this year.
It's amazing how fast it goes by. Man. 2005 really was ten years ago. It doesn't seem possible.
The cool thing about my school was that you pretty knew every single person that was in your class, and you had at least one class with them. We started out with 94 class members freshmen year, and graduated with 82. It was nearly impossible NOT to know somebody. There are some people I really hope to see again.
