Do you go? My 10 year is coming up this weekend and all the nerdy ASB types are promoting it on FB. Oh joy. Blah. First of all not much has changed in 10 years. Secondly, for those that have I don't care to hear stories about their kids and wives and all that. Thirdly, most the class I graduated with was lame except for a small group of people. I dunno. I can see a 20 year reunion. A 10 year reunion just seems so lame and forced.
It's like when you run into that person at the bar and that you kind of knew a little bit and they act like they are your best friend. x1000
I'm assuming my 10th has either happened or coming up this summer and I could really care less. Maybe if I was single i'd go but i'm not so I don't care.
Just go because you never know what could happen. Try to get a girl to go back to the Hampton with you.
I think i have like 4 years for mine, but all of the girls i wanted to fuck have kids and look kind of droopy, meh. Not that i look amazing either these days, lol.
Just had my come up last week. I went back and forth on whether to go. Truth is, my best friends are from high school and I see the people I went to high school with that I want to. 10 year is just going to be a dick comparing contest, and even though I'm prob in the 90% of where people are at in life from my class, I don't care to talk about it. 20 year hopefully those people grow up enough not to care. One of my buddies went for like 30 minutes, said it was really lame. He is single and is highly successful, couldn't get any attention. I'm married now and don't want to go with my wife. Would feel awkward standing next to a girl I banged back in the day with her. My graduating class was almost 500.
Its nuts to think of that many people in one class. I went to Franklin and my sophomore year we had a little over 300 students in my class and I felt that the school was crowded then but by my graduation it had ballooned to just under 500 and weren't even the biggest class there.
Fuck no, son. I would have had to take a day off work and fly there since it was just some happy hour on a Friday night or something. hoop fam
I guess it depends on your HS experience. I have nothing but great memories, so I was really looking forward to mine. The first night was a casual get together at a sports bar in the Pearl and had a blast. It carried over to a dive bar back in our neighborhood. It was awesome to see so many old friends. The next night it was a fancy dinner with husbands and wives and it was lame as shit. I think you should go. Catching up with a couple of really cool people from back in the day will far out weigh running into a few dorks you didn't like. Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
Problem is half my home boys I grew up with live out of state, a few I that I have talked to aren't going, a couple are going and the rest are spun out on drugs/booze and in and out of jail and I haven't talked to them in a few years. My high school experience was normal. Hung out with the "in-crowd". Talking to other people though, it sounds like I'm not the only one who thinks the 10 year is insignificant. The fancy dinner with husbands and wives, was that 10 or 20 year reunion? I
With facebooks, you can see how people are. I keep in "contact" with peeps I haven't seen from HS there still. Not really that interested in hitting the reunions up. I meet up some of my HS friends whenever I'm in their city, but that's about it.
I'm afraid to go because the hard guys will beat me up. The Soshes and Nerds outnumbered the Hard Guys, but that made no difference. I drove by 25 years ago and they had made it a prison. Tall fence around the whole dark campus. We used to have open lunch, but now they can't leave for lunch. Too many lunchtime murders at Denny's, I guess.
Never went. In fact they never invited me. Yes, I graduated early and split for Berkeley but my parents continued living in the same house for years, they could have sent an invitation there and it would have been forwarded to me. Seems the people with whom I went to high school had the same opinion of my that I had of them. The boy I've talked about that I was close to actually went to a different school. There was one girl who was (I thought) a good friend, until I came out and she dumped me, we were actually both in college by then. I have no reason to want to see any of them. There is a reason I don't use my full name on facebook. I don't want to be found. Shit, bitter.
I skipped my 10th, and completely agree with everything you said above. Couldn't have cared one way or another.... Most of my buds are out of state. Maybe 6 people I'd have cared to see, and 4 of those I see regularly anyway.
