School Reunions

[Temptress_1960]

I went to my 20th. And surprise, I had a great time.

I had avoided all the previous ones, but did get a copy each time of the "where are you now" booklets.

It was really interesting, to talk to people I hadn't seen in ages. I didn't see a whole lot of "how successful am I" stuff. It was just people getting together to keep in touch, I guess.

My 25th is this coming summer, and I'm helping out on the reunion committee. (Partly because I'm totally compulsive and feel the need to proofread the "where are you now" booklet.)

I think that as you grow older, and high school is a fairly distant memory, a lot of the cliques and snobby attitudes vanish. And, if you are open and friendly, you realize that those people you didn't know well in high school often are very interesting - you might even find that you wished you'd known them better.

Time is a great leveler.

For me it was a bit of "If I wait till I'm wildly successful to go to a reunion, I may never go." Kind of like "if I wait to lose 20 pounds before I show my fat ass in public in a bathing suit, I'll never swim again. ROFL

My fifteenth is next week. I am going just as a curiousity thing. Kinda like looking at a car wreck. I just hope I wasn't the only one in it.

actually, thinking about the people I went to school with, I am guessing most are in prision (well i know two are lol)

another was married to one of the teachers and is now a daddy and the rest... well i have no idea.

I had a good time at my 10th reunion. I was married at the time, the event was a dress up affair, so I wore a tux, organized the prize draws, and MC'd the video taping of the event.

My 25th was this summer and it was more fun. Happily divorced, I attended alone. It was held at a boat club near the school where many of us had our first drinks and other such adventures as teens.

Dress was casual and it was a warm summer nite so the 400 or so of us there danced to a live band, drank out on the decks by the lake and told stories till about 3 in the morning. A few of my old grrlfriends were there, a couple of gals squeezed their phone numbers into my hand, which I just remembered now typing this..... Everyone played nice, and there were no fights.

Do I really want to go to a reunion of people I never liked in the first place.....I think not.

I know only two people from my school days, they are married to each other and know more about me than my own family, the rest of the people I went to school with were a bunch of assholes by in large and if they had wanted to know me then they would have given me their address and phone number before I left school not twenty years later.


P.S. the only reason to go to a reunion is show off how well your doing........how shallow is that ?
