There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants,
and the other is getting it.
---Oscar Wilde
From an actual conversation:
Are you going?
I don't know, that's why I'm asking you.
I thought I'd go, but haven't made any plans. You're going, though, right? Because I'm not going if you're not going!
Well, that's why I'm asking -- I'm not going if you're not going!
Ok, well let's plan on going.
The requisite boring stats and condensed life history
I'm 28, single, and living in Northern California. I grew up in Wisconsin, spent four wonderful years in Madison (I remember a combined total of three of them, which I think is pretty good), then continued my tour of the Midwest by going to grad school in Bloomington, Indiana. I achieved my life goal (without realizing it, of course) by living and working in DC. After almost three years there, I, like an idiot, left DC and moved here. Ok, so the move was for very good, career-promoting, unique experience, blah blah blah reasons. But still: It's Not DC.

I really wanted there to be some sort of blog or other way of sending a message to the reunion people so I could say "Oh how I wish I could be there, but I'll be in Italy that weekend." Because I was! Not that I would have flown back to WI for a dinner and golf outing anyway, but it's always nice to have a really outstanding excuse.
So...does that mean that we are going or not??? Just need to know to make various plans for that weekend. At least we will get to visit and make fun of some of the people that were "going so far".
