molarbear Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 So that thing is around the corner again and uh... I made the mistake of signing into FB last night and getting updated on all that. Aside from what seemed like at least 100 posts about people dying, it looks like the people who are supposed to organize it gave up after the last one. To catch you all up on the 10 year fiasco They wanted to charge something like $300 a person and basically a large group of people said "we don't want to see each other that bad." Then another person we graduated with was like "I own an upscale bar, I'll host a party for free!" and I think everyone ended up going to that one instead Anyway, aside from the unfortunately high number of posts about people passing; the only other post is this lady who never lost that "stay at home mom" facebook energy from back in the early 2010's (you know the ones that spammed farmville and shit?) It is all just like "20 year reunion is coming up and I look like I should still be in detention, lol!" TL:DR It's been almost 20 years since I have seen a large chunk of the people I graduated with, and I think I want to keep it that way 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberbully Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 My classmates have this group they post in and I have notifications turned off but I check in on it sometimes...like when I'm trying to block someone and see it in the off category. It seems a lot of them still get in touch with each other and I sometimes see picture with me in them from the before times but no amount of nostalgia makes actually taking initiative to see these people appealing. Even when I do pop up at home, it seems people get wind of it and they show up in my inbox "we should get together for lunch" and I'm just like "yeah, we should" and it dies there. This is just the right amount of interaction for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I just had Vietnam flashbacks. They would have to pay me a hell of a lot more than $300 to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamped Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I didn't want to hang out with them then, I definitely don't want to do it now 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UwPp Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I never even had a 10 year reunion. My graduating class is either on their 3rd kid, dead, or locked up. We all hated each other then. I don't really need to see them now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 The only 'fun' thing about HS reunions is playing everyone's favorite game - who got fat. I haven't been invited to the last few. Since a large chunk of a very small graduating class still live in the same small area, they likely see each other more than they want anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of amazing that just about every cheerleader is huge now. A few of the girls aged well but ever dude is just the blob now except for Duke who is a competitive body builder and our resident fat neck beard who is apparently a world travelling programmer now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, the more 'popular' the chick then, the wider the ass now. No one ages super well but there's just something special about gravity getting revenge on people who deserve it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all have a digital reunion with ourselves Except everyone just sends photos of their animals and a short story of how they saved the galaxy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molarbear Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 This is the void She's not mine, but she frequently hangs out on the porch and likes to nap on things One day a race of beings from a completely different galaxy with weapons that make ours look like stone age tools appeared. Unfortunately for them, their intelligence dept sucked and they misjudged everything on our planets size; Discovering shortly after entering our atmosphere that they were beings the size rhino beetles, and their ships had the misfortune of being sphere shaped and about the same size as tennis balls. She batted their leader's ship and everything inside turned into goo. Upon seeing this havoc, the beings quickly ran back into the wormhole they had come from. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most the old athletes sell used cars and have beer guts now? The popular girls ended up married to them at my school. Then in some bizarre, massive love triangle, they've all gotten divorced and remarried within the group. Some multiple times. It's almost like a little cult. It's starting to make sense why Sedric bolted for Colorado as soon as we graduated, and Cody went to some unheard of college in California. They were always the smarter ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunStarHero Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 My 10 year reunion was a few years ago. I was considering going but decided to ask the few people I would have cared to see if any of them were going. None of them were. Incidentally, anyone I cared to be in contact with at all, I had kept up with. When the reunion itself happened I was curious and checked the FB page, which has long since been deleted, and saw it was maybe a couple dozen people out of the hundreds I graduated with. Nothing against anyone that went but they all appeared just be people that had never left the city, much less the state, since graduation. Kinda wonder if an impromptu Waffle House meeting wouldn't have accomplished the same. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
