I went to mine even though the advent of social media/Facebook ruined any discovery of my fellow classmates accomplishments.

So instead of playing the whole what have you done with your life over the past 10 years, we all got drunk and raged out. I didn't like half the people I went to school with. So this was an ideal solution.

I did go to my 25th back in 2008 . . . as far as I remember, we all got drunkled as in the good ol' times, yes, the wifes that attended, don't ask me who said it was OK, were not too happy . . .

And haven't been to the 10th, 20th, or 30th.  I wasn't popular
In school.  Didn't see the point in paying to be unpopular

I went to my 5th and 10th, none since then.

5th was OK, not hugely different.

Went to the 10th with my (now ex-) wife, she was not amused with the repeating theme of 'who's got the biggest diamond wedding ring' amongst the wives.

Will be at mine in 2 hours.   This will be our second & 1/2 in 31 years.   Sucky, cliquey snobby types and I was not in that circle.  Went to the first one (10 year). Was awful. Swore I would never go again. 

It's at a brewery tonight in a tiny beach resort town that has the annual drunken sailor boat festival going on as well.  That redeeming plan and having interacted with and seen a few people since the first one helped to change my mind.

There's still a few mean girls whose hair i'd like to discretely put bubble gum in but I'll take the high, graceful / "ugly-duckling-to-not-quite-a-swan-but-maybe-a-wood-duck" road.


The "1/2" reunion was a select group who decided on a whim to get together and use some class funds for a little party.  I think about 20 of the 300+ knew about it.


Will be interesting!  Shocking, even to me:  I'm optimistic about how this will go!

I Went back to the 10 year reunion. That was the first..and it'll most likely be the last..reunion for our class. The Only reason I went is because I was living back in the state briefly for grad school.  If I hadn't been, I wouldn't have wasted the time or airfare.

I went to the last two,  still trying to explain a few things to old girlfriends, good and bad. The core gang gets together twice a year at the local small town bar, we were all class clowns.  I bet if you went you would have fun after all is said and done.

My 30th was two years ago and I couldn't care less about seeing any of them.  Of course they probably feel exactly the same about me so I guess it all works out.
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!
