I like pie.

I went to my 10 year. Only about 12 people showed up out of a class of 85.

I felt kinda bad for a buddy of mine. Here he was, 28-29 years old, destroyed his life with coke, and he'd just moved back into his parent's house a week before the reunion. No job, living with his parents. Not a fun thing to tell your old classmates when they ask.

I made sure I brought up this kid Andy we went to school with. He's currently serving life in a North Carolina prison for hacking a girl to death, dismembering the body, and shoving it under the stairs in his parent's basement while they were on vacation.

Hey, made living with your mom and dad look not so bad by comparison!

Can you get that hot cheerleader you had a crush on drunk and have sex with her using Facebook?

This year is my 20th and I have no plans on going. I'm already in touch with the ones I still want to know. Facebook kind of makes it unnecessary.

Never go to those things. Nothing good can come from them. Everyone will be older, balder, fatter, uglier. Leave high school in the past. You can't go back....and that's a good thing.

I went to my 5th - big waste of time as we were all either just getting out of college or whatever.

Skipped my 10th and 15th.

Went to my 20th and 25th - It was good to catch up with everyone.

Going to my 30th this year for the same reason.

FB isn't a substitute for drinking beer and catching up...

You sound fat.

6'2 and 190 pounds.
Also not bald.
Older....of course
Uglier....well yes I graduated in 1984

High school was fun as shiat, but once I was done with it, I was done with it. There were a handful of people I kept in touch with after, but by my 40s that number has fallen to zero. So no, no reunions.

I was/am a social creature. So, I not only went to mine, I helped orgainze them. They were a freaking blast. However, we tend to do weekends at the beach with bands, booze and multiple classes. Middle-aged drunken hookups are awesome to watch come together.

I've never gone, even though my husband always wants to (he was friends w/more people in my class than his own). I've kept in touch w/a few people I knew in HS and have no desire to reconnect with any others. If I haven't felt the need to speak to you over the past 25 years, there's probably a good reason.

I've run into a few people from my graduating class over the years and am reminded every time why I don't bother to find them.

. . . now that Facebook let's you keep in touch . . .

I'm thinking you should go back to third farking grade and learn basic English before you worry about going back to your high school.

I went to mine since I was in town for a wedding.

What an utter waste of time, money and resources. The food was scarce and terrible, the music was a CD shuffler and only two people I hung out with were there.

The problem was, the people who planned it were lame in HS.

Marcella: You know, when you started getting invited to your ten year high school reunion, time is catching up.
Martin Q. Blank: Are you talking about a sense of my own mortality or a fear of death?
Marcella: Well, I never really thought about it quite like that.
Martin Q. Blank: Did you go to yours?
Marcella: Yes, I did. It was just as if everyone had swelled.

I went to my 20th.. it was a good enough time. Facebook and the like have probably taken some of the fun out of it. Shortly after I went to college my parents moved away from the town I went to high school in, so it was worth it for me, I'd never have any other reason to go there. My favorite art of the weekend was hanging out with a couple of people who I didn't know very well in school, when I left I felt bad that I hadn't gotten to know them better.

I was living about 500 miles from where I grew up when my 10th rolled around, and wasn't planning on going. A couple of my high school buddies who were still in town got in touch and said they were attending, so I decided to.

So, I take a few days off and drive up. Called my friends when I got home and they told me they were blowing it off. Well, fark it, I'm here, so I figured I'll go and see who got fat.

The good part is, most people still looked pretty good, and I talked to a lot of people that I hadn't thought about in ten years. If my pals had gone with me, we'd have just sat around being dicks. It was a good time, but I still haven't bothered attending any other events, although being a couple thousand miles away is part of the equation.

I didn't go to my reunion for the same reason I don't have Facebook. I have a few friends from high school with whom I want to keep in touch and I already keep in touch with them.

I didn't. Why would I want to spend an evening smiling and making small-talk with people I largely despised the first time around?

I still talk to my real friends from High School. For everybody else, I don't give a damn if they died in a fire.

Do it to laugh at the people who used to be hot and now just look weird.

1) Yes, I went to my 10 year back in 2007.

2) Why? Because it was held at the Redhook Brewery, and only an idiot would turn down any opportunity to visit a brewery.

3) Maybe....but IIRC, I wasn't on Facebook back in 2007.

Walker: Everyone will be older, balder, fatter, uglier.

Luckily for me, I'm skinnier and better looking (such as it is) than I was in High School. I'm probably older, though, but I don't feel it. That's the good thing with losing 40 pounds.

Mine is this year, but I haven't decided if I'm going or not. My husband's reunion was a blast, but he had lots of friends in highschool so it was fun hearing the stories. I was pretty much a loner (not shy anymore), so I doubt 90% of the people with even remember me and those that do have me as a friend on Facebook.

It will really come down to cost. I heard a rumor they want it to be some fancy mixer thing with a family BBQ the next day, so tickets will be $45 a person. I'm not paying $90 to eat crappy food and have to be pleasant with classmates I didn't like. If it is like $15 a ticket, then maybe. Oh and if they do they stupid thing last year's class did and invite everyone solely using Facebook so that not everyone knew about the reunion then they can kiss my arse.

I wasn't invited.. or maybe we didn't have one.. I don't know.

If we didn't have one, boy did I go to school with a lot of losers.

If I just wasn't invited, guess I'm the loser.

Now I have a sad.
