[kopfjäger]

I went to several, had a blast cutting up with some of my boys. My 40th was this year, but I didn't make it.

I am still friends with the 5 or 10 people I hung out with. I don't need to see the other 700.

In my defense, I did not have a car and hitched a ride with some gal pals.  Went through 3 DUI checkpoints within 5 miles.   


For once I made a big girl decision.  Yay me.   

[red baron]

  Yay me.   

Indeed.

I haven't been to any yet and don't plan on going in the future. There are few people I wanted to keep in contact with, mostly I don't care what happened to the rest. Also my UPS route was in the town where I grew up and went to school, so I'd run into mostly the parents of people from school, or occasionally old school mates. Most of them didn't attend any of the reunions either.

All the friends that I have kept in touch with from my high school days either, didn't go to my school, or were from different class years from me, or both.

My 25th was last summer. I didn't go.

The vast majority of classmates I care to hear about are still in contact from time to time.

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!



Anticipating drunk thread posts later.   

WHY DID YOU EVER GO?

[herm]

i've never been to one.........in 25 years. [holy shit, when did i get that old??!!!]

i hated almost everyone i went to high school with, and the few exceptions are no more likely to attend a reunion than I..

[the_Journeyman]

My 10 year went by and I didn't go or care.  I kept up with the people I wanted to keep in contact with.
