To RSVP or not to RSVP...

I'm still debating about whether or not I want to go to my 10 year high school reunion. Obviously I'm not going. But do I want to? Let's see. I'm not rich/famous/skinny, don't have a fabulous job or live in a cool city anymore. Things are good, but not INYOURFACEYOUUGLYPACKOFLOSERS-good. (This is all in high school context of course. I wouldn't want to offend anyone in my immediate home or anything. I love you Pookie.) What I would like is a picture of the people that do show up so I can see how everyone's changed. Maybe I should send a ringer in my place. With a camera. Someone in the Vernon area who feels like tormenting ex-Seaton students. Anybody? Anybody? There's a barbecue. The fact is, when I graduated, my class won the record for the worst school spirit in the history of the school. Maybe no one else will show up either.

I should probably RSVP pretty soon. It would be the polite thing to do. I'll think about it.

That reminds me. Why the hell do we say RSVP? We are anglophones (another word I dislike, but not as much as francophone.)
