This year is my 30th class reunion.
And like all the rest of the reunions, I am NOT going.

I detested most of the people in my class, especially the fucking jocks, I haven't seen any of them since, and all a class reunion is, is a brag-fest.

BTW, my favorite teacher, died on the 6th, he was 78. :-(

4. you posted first
but that was my thought.

It's been thirty years. All those jocks are fat and bald. Go and get a laugh out of it.

We're doing a 15 year reunion this year. I didn't make it to the 10th, so I'm going to go, even though I couldn't stand half of the people I went to school with. Most of the "popular" kids didn't turn out very well, many landed their butt's in jail or in some other bad situation.

Go and have fun!

3. I had my 30 year reunion last summer
and I honestly didn't recognize most of the people. You might be surprsed or this might be the night to go spend with a few hundred strangers and not know what to say. Is your class having a "get together" night? My class always turned it into a whole weekend deal- 1st night was a gathering at a public bar, 2nd night was a fancy dinner/dance and the 3rd was a family picnic.Then night at the bar might be the one to go and test the waters. If nothing else, you'll see those pompous jocks- with their beer belly guts and receding hairline.

5. No..not a brag fest........
30 years no brag fest..............Starts to change at 30...much better...I recall 10,20 yes brag fests..

But by thirty it changes..more like a hello fest.. Most will just be glad that you made it alive, cause a few of them have died and their opinions start to change. By 30 it gets better. 40 is much better. G0 HAVE SOME FUN. YOU WILL MEET A FEW PEOPLE YOU CAN CONNECT WITH..AND OF THOSE FEW, THEY WILL BE GLAD TO SEE YOU TOO...

6. even 20 is better than 10.....

Let it all go.......ain't worth it..

///by 20 they are beginning to act more mature..At 10..I was too drunk to know what the hell was going on. Started drinking in the garage before the party. I had to go, was on the reunion committee. ....I thought I was a nobody cause I was just a teacher........well it turns out at the 30th reunion...more teachers than anything else..

7. Mine, too.
I'm not going, never have. It's far away and not worth the $$ to me. I never kept up with anyone, sad to say.

8. Mine's this year also
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 01:06 PM by lizziegrace
haven't been to a single one either. Most of us band freaks were pretty independent and detested convention, so most of us won't be there.

I *am* having a problem with it being 30 years already. What happened?? :(

11. I haven't missed any, and it's not because I was popular...
Just because its so fricking fun to see how people have changed. Plus, at my 30th, saw a woman puke in her purse in the parking lot. Shit life is great.

12. It's mine too
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 10:40 PM by mockmonkey
I have no interest. All of my High School friends were a year ahead of me. We hung out together because no one else liked us. We were considered weird or uncool. I still am weird. :7

13. I've never gone to any of my reunions
Maybe high school was the best time of someone's life somewhere but it wasn't mine. It was barely a part of my life, really, and the people I wanted to keep in touch with, I did. I don't need to go to a reunion to see them.

High school was a blip on the journey that my life has been. :shrug:
