I went to mine 10th and it was depressing.  Most of the guys stayed in that little town.  Some had aged 2x faster than the rest and looks like life had dealt them a really bad hand.  Girls who I thought were attractive aren't anymore.  Also saw those guys who peaked in high school who really looked forward to the reunion so he can relive his glory years.... 

Not sure if I want to go to my 20th, which is coming up in a couple of years.

^ Yup, same here and I'll admit to inner feelings of satisfaction seeing what happened to some of the popular crowd.   [evil]

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..

Ditto, only it's more like 33 years for me.

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.   

Is that for real, if it is I bet it is cutting down on the drunk drivers in your neck of the woods.  I have never even seen one and wish their were more around here.

I don't even get invited to mine.

I'm listed as "deceased"

I went to my 20 year with my wife, got propositioned by a couple of divorcees that had too much to drink.

Won't be going to any more.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I've got a 35th coming up next year - last one I went to was the 5th.  I keep up with those I cared about on Faceplant so it's not really worth the travel for me -  it's usually over Thanksgiving Weekend and I hate travelling then, so I'll visit other time.  :)

I haven't been to any of mine yet.

And the 20th is the same weekend as Indy MotoGP...1 guess as to where I will be and it won't be the reunion.

I am in contact with the people I give a crap about from HS.
And those who want to find out what I am up to these days can find me on Facebook or LinkedIn.

They have reunions?  Why the make the beast with two backs would I want to go see the very people I could not wait to get away from?

Most of my town never left town and those that did had the imagination of a limp blanket.  It has been fun over the years to look a few up and see what happened to their lives.  To date all I can say is that many of the "in-kids" are losers now.  I might be one of the only success stories from my old home town.....  Kinda sad actually  :-\

Feel free to PM me if needed, otherwise you will find me elsewhere.

I go back to my home town 3-5 times a year... I live an hour away... To see the few friends I care about.

I don't do Facebook or any other social media type thingies. My wife is a big facewaster person and keeps up with the wanna bees doings. I like my private life and the few true friends I have.  I don't need people being friendly to me for the wrong reasons.

I've never attended a reunion and plan not to attend my 30th this Saturday. Instead I'm taking my friends out to dinner.

I only graduated high school 3 years ago. And I now own a house in the same town so I could be close to my parents (brothers all lived out of state at the time) and help them out when they needed it. Every day is pretty much a high school reunion. I goto the grocery store and its people I went to school with. Goto the mall, same shit. And with Facebook I can keep in touch with people I actually give a shit about but no longer live here due to joining the military, out of state college, or out of state jobs.

I probably won't goto my high school reunion because I pretty much despised the kids I went to school with. And Im still close with some of my high school friends but I had to ditch some others because they just wouldn't grow up.

There was also an annual drunken sailer boat parade going on at the same time.  The checkpoints were for that crowd.

I have to say, with a few exceptions, everyone has aged really well.  Even the mean girls.
