 Posted: 06/27/06 - 11:36 Post subject: 10 year reunion
Did you go to your high school reunion? Mine is in the planning stages, I think it will be homecoming weekend this fall. I'm contemplating it. I'm also thinking a spinal tap sounds equally fun...  I really just want to see/catch up with a handful of people then totally ignore the rest. Is it worth the trip to see if they are going too?

The only people from my graduating class of 38 that I want to talk to are on my e-mail contacts. So, no.

We didn't have one until 20. Then I ended up skipping it.

Never have. I've not had contact with anyone I went to high school with since 1979. High school was hell for me - I have no regrets in not going to any homecomings or reunions.

I really only hung out with a small group of close friends in high school, and since we moved from Kentucky I only really kept up with 1 person. Myspace connected me with several more, then recently a few more found my parents. But the ones I really want to see again are the ones who don't live in Louisville anymore either and its a crapshoot whether we both make the trip. All the ones I could miss of course still live in Louisville and will undoubtedly attend.

I went to both my 10 and 20 year reunions. I'm glad I did. People didn't change much for the 10...but at the 20
I'd go. You might be surprised with it.

Our 10th was a few years ago. I didn't go, nor did I want to. The one person I graduated with that I still speak to went and filled me in on all the gossip.

no.
and here's why -
i have a very small handful of friends i still want to see from high school, and i see them regularly. another handful of people i bump into on the street or wherever, and find out how their doing and that's enough.
and then there's a handful of friends i used to be friends with who i'm starting to see again after 5 years worth of work severing the ties, and would be incredibly glad if i never saw them again.
our school had no school spirit, i don't think anyone would go. and those who would, would be the handful of friends i used to be friends with, that would make like its high school again, and act like it's cool to laugh at me again (like they do when they come out).
anyhoo right about now is where i acknowledge that i'm ranting. it's not that i'm petty, but when i leave high school behind it'd be nice if it didn't come back to visit.

I went to my 10th, and it was not what I expected. My class was around 350 or so, and roughly half of them showed up at the reunion.
The people I thought it'd be interesting to talk to weren't half as interesting as I thought they'd be.
Two girls who wouldn't look twice at me in high school hit on me.
Some people looked exactly the same. Some people had changed so much I didn't recognize them - a few to the extent that I'm still doubtful they were who they said they were.
A few people had died, an unfortunate surprise.
Standard reunion stuff, I'm sure. But it was worth the time for me, at least to satisfy my curiosity.

I went to my 10 yr and had an ok time. I'm still in close contact with 5 of my "group" and we all went, plus some that had moved out of state. We had a great time. It was a bbq at a local park at the lake. It was potluck.
The original planner of the reunion wanted to have some swanky affair at a hotel for $75/head. Most of us revolted and planned our own shindig. The original planner boycotted. We laughed
