I'm going to mine next month (gah, I feel old). Did anyone go to theirs? Did it suck as much as you figured it would. I have no idea why I'm even going, but I told a few people I would, so I will, but if it sucks, I'm leaving in favor of hanging out at the hotel pool or in the hotel room with boyfriend.
I have no idea what to wear. hrmph.

I wen to my 10 year high school reunion and it did actually suck. Highlights included:
- Some chick I was friends with in Grade 5 told me that she had been traumatized for years when I broke off our friendship because I just stopped calling.
- It seemed like everyone could remember my name but I had no recollection of these people at all. It was like my mind was wiped clean as soon as I walked out those school doors for the last time. Makes you seem like a giant *** when you have to keep saying, "Oh, riiiight, Blank, I remember now."
- I ended up talking to some weirdo in a bar for like 20 mins before I realized that we never went to school together at all. Dammit.

Wait more people remembered the hot blond chick than she remembered? I'm shocked. Shocked I say. :)

I didn't go. I always thought of HS reunions as mostly a big circle jerk where everyone tries to brag about how great their life is, that or attempt to get into an old crush's pants.
Mostly I kept in touch with those I wanted to keep in touch with. And as far as getting into an old crush's pants, they're all married and it would be hard to do with their husband's standing there. I heard all of 6 people showed up for mine, so I guess the others fealt the same way.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I've never been. Since I ****** off 1 year of highschool, I didn't graduate with those whom I made most friends with. Like that Kakar guy, I've kept in touch with the people I wanted to.

My ten year would be next year, but there's nothing compelling me to attend. I've lost contact with even the people I did like in highschool, haven't spoken to any of them for maybe two or three years, so fUck 'em all. The only way I'd even consider it is if Beth Anderson wrote me personally demanding that I show up so she can send me home with a drained sack. Because seriously, other than my failed attempts to nail Beth back in the day, I've had enough of all those people.
My class's reunion was this past fall, I believe. I got in touch with some of the folks discussing it on MySpace, but considering I didn't graduate I didn't feel like going. That, and most of my classmates remember me only as the psychotic freak who tried to blow the school up.

I keep in touch with the people I'd care to see at my HS reunion anyway. That, or there is always myspace/facebook if I -really- felt the need to track some people down.
I married the only person I care to know from HS. Not only that, but I'm so old, my 10th reunion (if there was one) was years ago. Also, I got into the pants of any girl I wanted to at the time, so there's no real reason I'd want to get in their pants this many years later, now that they are cougars.
It's been 10 years since college for me, now there's a reunion worth going to, if there was such a thing.

Well, if they are proper cougars I doubt they'd be looking to get in your old pants, Oldy Oldelson.

Went to our 25th Anniversary reunion a few years back.
Some of it was fascinating - most of the 'people least likely to succeed' had achieved a great deal, the 'class hawties' were all overweight fugly munters, and a few of the class superstars had achieved very little.
One first class cricketer, any number of retail & bank managers, a few teachers and lecturers. One very successful actor / comedian who I hated at school but has turned into a decent bloke.
The rest was depressing - 2 grandfathers and a grandmother, 2 bankrupts and one girl (I'd dated her briefly at the age of about 13) was vocal about her years of depression and continuing self-harm.
I wouldn't go to another one.

My 30th is coming up in Oct and I'm of half a mind to go and be one of the people who ruin it for others. I actaully only attented that school for my senior year, having spent the fist 3 years at the "Other Local HS", where I was known and had a few friends I like to be still in contact with. I changed schools, so to change art teachers and found out suddenly i was able to get decent grades in subjects like Trig and English as long as I got some help on written asignments.
Most of my good friends from back then are lost, but for a few who are on Classmates.com. I mostly wish I never sign up for a classmate's account, but then out of the blue, I may hear from someone I knew. Only it's been so long ago that they are now, just a person in some faded class picture. I used to get christmas cards from a girl I was friends with in elementary school sent to my parents. Then she had a kid and I had some and it been years since she sent me a card. In March I got a message from one of her younger brothers and then silence.
Seems that it is the way are remembered things are going to be with far better then going back and finding them ruin by reality of how we aged, for better or worst.
So if I go it will be as that person, who life has only gotten worst over the years. Back in 12 grade one of my friends, commendi on how my life seem like a rather bad soap opera. Well Think of the Night time "Soap" with a even more disfuntional family. Instead of the Gay son, I married and divorce the Tranny, who was angry about not being the woman of the house.

I was supposed to go to my 10 year reunion, but my younger son had an emergency appendectomy and I couldn't make it. Just another reason to write him out of the will I suppose.
I already bought the tickets, had the outfit all planned, etc., and then had to cancel at the last minute because someone's appendix just couldn't wait for a few more days to burst.

Didn't bother with mine. I kept touch with a couple of people past high school and only have real communications with one of them today. The rest I wasn't interested in paying money to see.
Now that I think of it, even of the "class hotties", I can only remember the names of one or two of them. I can picture others but I wouldn't know them by anything but their nametags.

I'm the same way.
Generally I just like to go to other people's class reunions and pretend to be someone they should know.

I think I'll pretend to have forgotten even those that I remember, just for fun.

My high school class has never had a reunion. The class president, who, incidentally, was voted "Most Likely to Succeed," was sentenced to 15 years in prison for B&E and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Unfortunately, he was in sole possession of everyone's names when he was sent to the Pen and nobody ever picked up the flag to carry on the fight. Now, 27 years later, I don't think it'll ever happen. Oh well.

Facebook ftw.
Like Myspace but sans the emo.
Between that, myspace, instant chat and going home and visiting the local watering holes every other month I manage to keep in touch with most of the people from highschool.

High school class reunions would be top on my "Most Skippable Non-Events" list, if I kept such a thing.
It's kinda fun to hear about them, but only for a few minutes before even the executive summary starts to bore me.
Same general story as Nobbelier, though: the people who were "most likely to succeed" peaked at 18 and never got past senior year, while the people who were interesting and quirky went on to do more interesting things.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Same here, except that I run into a bunch of people and exchange phone numbers, but we never call each other. It's ok with me, most of them sucked to no end anyway.
I think I'm mostly just going as an excuse to stay in a hotel with a pool. Plus, the guy (who is now a girl) who has my senior yearbook (took it to sign and never gave it back) is going and said she'd bring it.

That's so odd Nexa, I'm going to my 10-year reunion next month too. I've kept in touch with my best friends from high school and I never really interacted much with people outside my own group, so this is more to see what happened to everyone and to spend some time with the two of them for the first time since my wedding.

Well it's weird, I didn't have "a group" in high school. The couple of people I keep in touch with AT ALL (and by in touch, I mean via email once every six months to a year), were friends from like...5th grade, haha. One of them actually came to visit me last fall and it was the first time I'd seen her since high school.

Ha!! Same thing happened to me, only it's my junior yearbook and it's my ex-boyfriend that has it. I found his sister on Myspace and asked her to ask him and he created an account to tell me that he'd look for it, but he still hasn't found it. I told him I'd give his back as long as he finds mine. Sick of seeing his name on the cover anytime I happen to glance at it.
This is the guy that when I broke up with him in college he muttered into the phone, "I should have gotten you pregnant."

haha, I'm sure mine is full of people's comments about my impending marriage to my high school sweetheart (we got engaged when I turned 18), so that'll be a fun read when I get it back.
