Things I've learned:
1. More people remember me than I remember. This is awkward...especially when they've been fretting about an imagined feud for the past decade.
2. DJ's suck...always.
3. Nearly any event can become bearable with the addition of at least one long-island ice tea.
4. If you're a good mother, you'll bring pictures of your kid. Whoops.
5. "You look great" is the appropriate greeting regardless of gender or actual appearance.
6. I look better than I did in high school.
7. People think that if you shared a bus stop/lunch table/homeroom in 5th grade or whatever, that means you're still friends...even if you haven't talked since then, and they can share the most intimate details of their life with you as though you were family.
8. Boyfriends who recognize that reunions are more bearable for you if you have a long island ice-tea, and as such, do not drink and just look after you all night, are really super awesome.

Good heavens, no. You don't want to give them any advanced warning before her plans come to fruition.
Sounds like you had a tolerable time.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
My 15 year is coming up next year and the plans are finalizing. There were about 450 people in my high school class but by the amount of emails I get you would think that there were 17 of us and my presence is an absolute must.
I am not going to go.
Don't get me wrong, I loved high school, but the truth is, the people I care to see from that time period I already see.
Bleh.

I voted for the other guy.

Yeah, I don't know if I'll go to the next one unless, by some crazy turn of events, I actually stay in touch with some of the folks I saw at this one. It really was more of an excuse to stay in a hotel, haha. It wasn't too bad though, and I had fun, but I'm relatively certain I could have had just as much of a good time spending that kind of money and hanging out with just about anyone, haha.

I'm going to mine more as an excuse to see my two best friends from high school. I haven't talked to them in quite a while cause I'm that "friend with two kids" and neither of them are married yet.
What I'm *really* not looking forward to is this one creepy girl that has requested to be my friend on Myspace I swear at least 10 times. I approved her the first time then cut her off my list when I purged people I didn't really know. I messaged her saying that I wanted to keep my profile open only to certain people and she was like ok, sure! Since then she's like friend stalking me or something, like I'm some collectible she MUST have. She talks like us graduating in the same year makes us joined at the hip when really I don't plan on even looking in her direction at the reunion cause I find her so creepy. *shudder*

I get that a bit. I'll get messages every so often of "Remember me? We were in 7th grade Math together and you sat two rows ahead of me..." Serious sign of potential stalking when you remember the seating arrangements of 1987.
10yr is coming up in Oct, looking forward to proving to everyone that the 4 most insignificant years of my life played no role in who I am now.
That and I've become a huge badass with a hot *** wife. Take that cheerleaders!

My ten year should be this year, but our class president didn't realize that one of her "jobs" would be to get the reunions under way. Could be why no one else ran against her 
. As such, she's a lazy bitch and no reunion for us. Not sure if I would go if I had the opportunity. The people from high school I'd want to see, I already do. Everyone else can GFT

Our class president was the same way. Total slacker (good friend of mine) that knew that he would be the guy who would drop the ball on the event when he was elected in 92...
So no ten year for us. Someone else is running the show on the 15 year deal, but like I said, I doubt I will end up going.
I voted for the other guy.
my 10 will be coming up in 2 years... but I only went to the school I graduated from for my senior year, so I'm not sure if I'll go or not... I don't remember half the people I went to school with anyways.
I didnt go to my 10 year reunion.

Fixed it to be more self appropriet.
Are high school reunions really that life affirming? 
I never once actually stepped foot in my high school cafeteria. I used to dual enroll at college/high school and also I asked my guidance counselors to put me in different high schools so I could 'experience' what other schools were like. I took classes at a remediary school in a very poor community, a second high school much like my own, dual-enrolled at a community college, and even took an aquaculture course at a professional oceangraphic institution. I never got to know my classmates so I totally missed out...but to be honest I felt like laughing at the people who cried during their high school graduation (High school was just a stepping stone...not an end of anything for me)
To be honest, I personally think if you want to get in touch with your childhood or reaffirm that you are older now - take a look at old pictures or look for things you wrote when you were young. But personally I can't imagine myself getting anything out of seeing people I never knew to begin with.

Come now cUntslap, we already had 650 posts confirming that you're a social ******, did we really need another?
I did much the same thing as you; went to college in the evenings from my sophomore year on, attended regular classes at my school, enrolled in an International Baccalaureate program at another, tutored at the alternative high school for bad kids. The difference is, I got just as much out of the people I met as I did from the varied curriculums. I met brilliant kids, interesting adults, sluts and drug dealers, and my personality and view of the world was shaped simultaneously with my knowledge base. You know, you can be both the intellectual superior of your peers and their friend at the same time, you just have to quit being such a cUnt.
That said, I won't be attending my reunions, because most of the people I knew would either be boring or in prison.

I know what you're hoping, and while I've been paroled for years now, I'd still be willing to sodomize you with the leg of my cot or a sharpened toothbrush.

The atmosphere.
I guess it was a bit quick of me to assume you'd taken your meandering path through the education afforded you because you were brighter than the other kids. It seems just as if not more likely that you were just incapable of forming relationships with the other kids, having had a different daddy every night of the week.
Because your mother's a *****.
Noo...your mom's a *****...take that!
But really I want to know what this IB kid did to go to prison. You change your grades on the high school computer?

Part of what has made you so unpopular your entire life is your inability to recognize a joke, you fUcking ****.
Basically, I'll use any excuse to tell someone I would fUck them in the *** with all sorts of objects. Then I'll sit back at my computer and laugh to myself while I jerk off into the mouth of an eyeless puppy in the euphoric moments before I hit "post message".
Seriously, I'm sorry I read your little highschool resume and assumed you had enough sense in you to grasp simple sarcasm. It's not nearly as funny when I have to explain it to you. It's a let down, very similar to explaining to that ***-drunk crackwhore you call a mother that she needs to keep her eyes open when I'm ******** on her forehead. Some things should be obvious.
I know, I know, another momma thing, but I do it with a certain undeniable flare, and you're not exactly giving me a lot to work with, being such a boring little waste of ****, you stupid little ****.

I had my 10 year one last summer...I almost didnt go...but my reasons were to actually see how much I had changed. I was shy in highschool, and very low self-esteem. I know pity story blah blah blah, but I actually became more involved in life and I wanted to see if I would still feel like those people in the paxil commercials. Amazingly...I didnt.
Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."
