anyone gone to their HS reunion?

Mine is next week and I don't know what to expect. Is it it something worthwhile to go to?

Mine was a few months ago. I had planned to go, and I emailed about 10 people I knew well, and I just got such a bad vibe, I decided not to go. Plus I am a thousand miles a way, wasn't worth it.

I had a few close friends in high school, frankly the ONLY reason for me to go would have been to make business contacts. Perhps you should consider it for that reason alone.

Peace

Mine was a year ago. I skipped mine, the last thing I wanted to do, since I'm trying to improve my life is to relive four miserable years. No thanks.

That's exactly why I didn't go to mine...

Went to mine and it was fun. If it's local, go. Nobody remembers what you used to be like and it's a chance to meet plenty of people.

As it happens, a lot of people knew me in high school, so that might have made it easier. But the women were much more available this time around.

my ten year is supposed to be this summer. i keep in touch with a few people from high school, and my cousin was in student government, so i figured i'd hear something about it, but i have yet to hear anything.

for some strange reason i'm really looking forward to it. i had a pretty anonymous existence back then. didn't get beat up or made fun of (well, not that much, at least), but i wasn't popular at all. it's not like i want to go back to "show up" my classmates, i find that to be pretty cliched and childish. one of my friends is all about that, though. and i'm single, so i don't have some hot chick to show off. i don't want to "catch up" with anyone, either. i guess i'm just curious or something. no matter what, i think it'll be interesting.

plus, i'm in much better shape (not just physically, but socially, mentally, etc.) all around now, and really, i doubt anyone i don't keep in touch with will even recognize me.

everyone i know just expects me to be the type of person to blow it off, though. i'm actually suprised that i want to go.
