Mine will have what he wrote to me, which I guess, now that I think about it, I never got to read.
I don't have my yearbook from my sophmore year. I hate the fact that I was so trusting back then. I'm still trusting now and I hate it.
I'm not bitter.

Wow. I just spent some time checking out myspace to see if I could find any friends from high school and incredibly enough it appears that at least three of them are not in prison!

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.

I don't go "home" except to visit my parents for a couple hours and then drive 80 the whole way back...usually furious, haha. In fact, the reunion is like...5 miles from them, but I'm staying at the hotel.
Yeah, I think mostly I just want to go for an excuse to have hotel sex. /shrug

I was in school for my master's degree during my 10th reunion thing so I had to stay and work on my thesis and going to my 15th seemed like a waste of time b/c of the half-decade thing and the long commute up to the boonies of Northern Maine. In a couple of years, it'll be my 20th.
I dunno. I mean, I got in touch with some of my friends as a result of the scramble around the reunion. But I moved out of my hometown when I was 17 and since my family also moved away, going back seems less and less interesting.
From what I've heard, going to the 10th might be too soon. People don't change nearly enough in 10 years. The 20th might be more interesting. I've heard that the cliques tend to reform but people don't care as much about them.
Oh the only truly horrifying thing was my friend who said it was cool I wasn't married at 28 (when I saw her after the 10th reunion0 because she knew "some people who waited a long time to get married. They were in their early 20s. Some people were even in their mid-20s" I said, "Um, I'm in my late 20s" "...." was her response. And so, I'm not sure how she'd feel about the fact that I'm unmarried in my mid-30s, which might be seen as akin to Satan worshipping in the County.

Yes, well, I guess it'll be fun to go and say, "No, I'm not married to the guy I was engaged to at graduation...meet my boyfriend! My baby is at home with my ex husband, so we're here to party!" hahahaha. I think I'll tell them I'm a prostitute goat farmer full time.

What is UP with you today?
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Went to my 10th reunion. Was a blast. Apparently, the class hottie didn't remember what a geek I was back then and hit on me the whole time. Worked out reasonably well (aside from eventually realizing she was a glorified bar-hound, but she was still quite hot).
My 20th is coming up. Funny thing, just got the invite in the mail last week. Going to that one as well. We had a little "psuedo-reunion" thing last fall. Our school is disappearing (being renamed actually and moving out to Eastlake area), so we all showed up for the whole "last homecoming game" thing. If the turnout and hangout for that event was any indication the reunion should be fun. Lots of people I haven't seen in 10 years. No real enemies. We were a pretty laid back bunch even back in High School. It was also a pretty small school. Bout a hundred seniors in our class, so everyone kinda knew everyone else even if you were in different cliques.
What is surprising is seeing how people have changed. It's never quite what you expect. Maybe some schools have a big competition type atmosphere, but at least at the 10 year people were more happy just to see eachother. Don't recall any particular one-upmanship. Just old friends and schoolmates hanging out...

That was a hooker too.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
My senior class had 700 kids in it, so unless you weere going to see someone specific more than likely no one would remember you. Besides that, the school is ghetto now that the city expanded way past where my high school is located. Used to be we were considered the rural country bumpkin school, because we were supposedly in the sticks unlike those "sophisticated" inner city schools, lol.
I went back there a couple of years ago to show Mrs. Totem where I had developed such a sauve and debonair personality and we were shocked to see metal detectors, armed rent-a-cops, and hurricane fencing over all the windows. Pretty disappointing.

I went to my 10 year reunion and once I had enough to drink, it was pretty fun. I ended up hanging out with a girl that I had been great friends with in elementary school. We regressed back to elementary school after those drinks, too. I think that's what made it so fun.
I skipped my 20 year reunion. My husband's 20th is next year and I bet we'll end up going, yay.

Edit: Didn't even put in my own message..
The campus is moving out to Eastlake? And you went to a tiny small school? Was it one of the Catholic ones that got consolidated under the Cathdral High School umbrella? Because I went to that one.

I know, I'm usually not like this, but recent life events have me all wigged out. And at times I'm very bitter and then I'm accepting and then I'm bitter and then I'm pissed and then I'm disappointed and then I'm frustrated and then I'm bitter again. I prefer bitter as I can morph that into anything else.

If it was in IB, about a stones throw from the Mexican border, yeah...

I am SO looking up the alumni directory now! 
I never even considered going to mine, and anyone I spoke to who did said they shouldn't have. As a general rule, I try not to look back.
Do they even have reunions at the high schools of Peru? It must be kinda tough trekking all the way up into the Andes after growing soft in the lowlands of Chicago.

By-the-by, since when does using race or geographic origin in humor constitute racism? Heaven forbid I dare mine that rich vein of posting ore due to the fact you hail from Peru. Goodness, I prolly shouldn't pick on RedPhoenixxxx either because he's French!
