I skipped my 20th. The day after my 10th my dog got hit by a car and the day after my 15th my brother died.

Maybe I'm the Hurley of Reunions.

Wow, you sound like a fucking cock. I think I'd rather babysit BlueMilk than hang out with you.

i couldn't go to my 10th - but they had a get together the night before that I went to at a bar in my hometown. it was allright - most of the people were actually doing pretty well. my wife could not come so 2 whores were trying to hook it up (one my ex gf who is now married with 3 kids, and the other was also married)...that was pretty disturbing.

most of the people that showed up were the "smart" people and the "popular" people so it probably skewed my impression - the real fuck ups weren't there (ankle bracelets are tough to hide)

I just hope you have insurance.

For the twentieth, get a sponsorship by the Huber Law.

i will never go to a high school reunion.
anyone i would care to see from that time .... i've kept in touch with.


my college reunion, on the other hand....i'll likely go to.
(well, i missed the 5th. but i'll go to the 10th.)

(likely drunk as well.)

i've gone to all of mine (okay both of them) both times shit faced and overjoyed to see the lives of all of the "rich and snobby" kids that made up 90% of my class from that fucking god-loving private school.

it nice to see that one girl that was hot in high school having her 4th kid just to keep her husband around a little longer.

and the biggest jock at the school at the time that happens to be the assistant manager at a 'big lots' some where in bumblefuck arkansas.....

its also nice to see the quiet kid that everyone picked on passing the bar, sliming down, and being the only guy in the room that i would even care to have a conversation with (outside of the friends that i still have from h.s.)

This board is full of dorks still sucking their thumbs and wishing they were popular. Gimme your lunch money, loser.

Okay, but the last thing you need to spend it on, buddy, is a 2nd lunch.

And, fifty-fifty is an even meaner soda.










*in honour of your five thousand fiftieth post

i love 50/50.

Seriously, where's the "What I was like in HS" thread, where everyone of you schmucks can admit to being fat/ugly/zitty/unpopular/ghey...or talk about taking 'cid and funneling Everclear on the beach at PCB...

I'm nearly 15 years past grad. I'd go to my reunion as I'm genuinely interested in seeing what happened to everybody. Aside from my wife, I didn't keep in contact with anyone from HS.

I'm saving up for more porn.

You buy porn?

I wasn't invited to my 10th, nor was I on the list of people that they couldnt locate but were trying to.....

Hah, but like DayStar, the people from High School I actually cared about, I am in contact with or kept tabs on thru others.

Went to the 10th. 20th is coming up in (gulp) 3 years. Probably will not go, but who knows? I would never drag my husband to these things because it's just awful for spouses. And he's happy because he'd hate going too!

As for people, yes, it was some of the popular kids and some of the brainiacs, but for the most part, the people I really like and still keep in touch with did NOT come to the reunion. I did notice that the majority of kids I went to school with had not moved out of the state, and for those that did, I'd say maybe only 10-15 of us moved out of the Southeast. Not trying to sound snobby here, but I did find that the other folks who had moved out of state tended to have more of an open-minded world view vs. some of the ex-wrestlers that are now managing the local hardware shop, y'know? And I hate to say this, but I was very disappointed to see some really great, smart girls who had not gone on to do anything with that potential. So it was depressing in a way, but gratifying in the sense that I'm glad I moved away and don't see these people very often.

I didn't mean to come off as a cock, but I won't deny being a prick about this. I wasn't trying to demean any of my former classmates, I just happened to grow up in a town of roughly 25,000. There are only two commercial rock radio stations, which are matched by two religious stations. In general, the vast majority of my classmates are college educated, middle class people with kids. They are all nice people, I just don't have anything in common with them anymore. I wasn't trashing their lifestyle, I'm just not like them.
At my reunion, those people who have remained in Norfolk seemed to ignore all the people who have gotten out and live elsewhere. As for how I was in high school. I was a music geek who was a Varsity 103lbs wrestler and was also active in the Close-Up Club. I happened to be 5' 6" and 118lbs when I graduated, now I am 5" 11" and 140lbs.

Close-Up Club?

I would love to find out what some people are doing. I'm kind of looking forward to mine.

After reading this thread, I went to a website devoted to my 20 year reunion ( which was last summer ) . I didn't go, nor did I have any interest in going. Like some of the others here I've stayed in contact with the few people I'd be interested in knowing about.

Anyway, a quick look at this website informed me that of the 137 people I graduated with, 10 are now dead.



10 people out of 137 didn't make it past their 30's.

I know what you mean DD. Just considering people from my graduating class that I was really close with I count 5 dead. Two suicides, one murder (he was a cop), one rape/murder ( a very nice girl, fuckers did it and then threw her in her car trunk) and a victim of cancer.

Sucks.

Maaaan...

Of the 10 deceased people from my class, I was aware of 1. A murder case from about 15 years ago.

Of the other 9 people, only 1 was a guy I ever spent any substantial time hanging out with. I hadn't talked to him in probably 15-17 years, & he died in an ATV accident 6 years ago.

Then I pulled out the 1984 yearbook, & started putting faces to the names on the list...I recognized every face, even if the name info had become blurry over 20 years.
