In a sign that I am approaching that sure sign of oldness my 10 year High School class reunion is coming up this summer. I haven't totally decided on if I want to go or not yet...
I was pretty much a geek in school I still had plenty of friends, some I haven't seen since graduation night so in that sense it would be fun.
I also am well beyond high school and most of my important friends I still see, not sure I want see some of the people I don't see and pay $30 to relive 1993 all over again...
Any of the older crew go to any of theirs?

I went to my 10-year reunion two years ago (graduated high school in 1991), and I had a pretty "blah" time there. None of my closer friends (back in the high school days) were there, so I sat at a table of some no-name people. All the little groups and niches were back to normal (i.e. jocks hung out together, stuck-up girls hung out together, etc). You think people would have changed for the better and matured a bit, but that wasn't the case. Nobody mingled at all that night. The people who ran the thing decided to make a photo album on their website (can't remember the URL though), and all the pictures on that site were of the people who ran the reunion. Was a total joke.
I was very disappointed about my 10-year reunion. I had more fun at my wife's reunion, and I didn't know one single person there.

I got invited to my five year class reunion, but figured Id just spend the entire evening telling everyone there how much I hate them (hey, I still hate people from high school and dont even remember why with some of them). So I decided not to go. Im going to save all of my rage up another five years and cram it down their throats then ;)

That sounds like an awesome scheme you have cooking there! 8)

That sounds exactly why i have no desire to head to said event. There are some people like I said that I haven't seen since graduation night that I wouldn't mind talking to again. Some people I have lost contact with etc. But, there is 300 of the 400 people I graduated with who I'd never care if I did see again. Tough call and probably not worth the $60, maybe the 20 year reunion when everyone is fatter and balder
-
that is why i will never go to my reunion.
-
I went to my 5 year and skipped my 10 year. The 5 year was just like high school but I will say that the groups were somewhat together but they did mingle and tried to catch up with everyone. My 10 year wanted to go but couldn't make it. My advice if your curious I would go, I don't know if it will be worth 60 bucks but hey if drinks and food are free why not you can always leave early.
-
I officially decided I am not going when I found out it is $40 a person. No way no how will I relive the glory years for that price. Better come down for the 20 year!
-
The older you get the more extravegant the outting will be, so it's doubtful prices will go down in the future.
-
So its more doubtful I'll ever see them again :-* Nah I've been thinking today that I should go just to see what its like, then I never need to go again. I've also heard wait until the 20 year since a lot of people really haven't changed to much in 10 years
-
I skipped my 5 year one and went to the 10...waste of time. Everyone I wanted to stay in touch with I have and I hate the "Do you recognize me?" game anyway....
-
Well, 10 year reunion is next week. I am still undecided if I am actually going to event itself but my buddy is having a big pre-reunion party next Friday night. I'll be there with bells on :-*
-
I left my high school in CA my Junior year to move to WA. So I have TWO 10 year reunions this year.
I'm going to NEITHER. I'm still friends with a bunch of the people I knew from those days, and those who I'm not, I know how to get in touch with. None of us are going. Everyone else....I really don't need to know how they're doing now, because I sure didn't care when I was there.
However, my girlfriend has decided she wants to go to hers, and she'd really like it if I came. She gave me the option to back out of it, but I figure I should go out of duty. So....instead of going to my own high school reunion and having a crappy time, I'm going to someone else's and having an even crappier time.
I don't know what the logic is there, but I'm sure there is some.
-
One thing that really pissed me off at my 10-year reunion is that one of my really good friends didn't even recognize me. He walked up to my wife and I and asked HER, "Boy do you look great! What was your name again? I know we had some classes together, but I just can't place your name." He was talking to her as if they went to high school together. He didn't recognize me at all! That really bothered me.
-
I have my 5-year coming up next year. It will be a cold day in hell before I actually want to see those people again. So no, I'm not going.
-
My 5 year should be this year. From what I understand it won't be happening. No big loss
-
Never went to one and have no intentions of going... If I would've wanted to see those people again, I would've kept in touch... ::)
-
The damnedest thing happened to me today. Some girl I graduated with mentioned that someone was planning our 5-year reunion. Now, this girl was barely aware I existed until she wrote in my yearbook 'I wish I'd have gotten to know you better! Bye!' or something like that, and now she was acting like we were a tight knit group in high school. Right.
Funny how the heads seem to come out of a$$es when cliques fall apart.
-
Well, I went to my 10 year reunion. I initially hated the whole event. Everyone was still in that comparison mode on who has done what with their lives.
But, then a group of us broke off and went to this local bar (from our area.) I must admit that is when we all had fun. They had karoke that night. Everyone made fools out of themselves, including me.
I just wished I wouldn't have spent the money to go to the first part of it.

I went to mine last year and the game the night before. It was interesting to see how people had changed appearence wise. It was even funnier to see those that looked nearly the same. One guy still has hair to his back and looks like an idiot just like back then. One guy looked like he did not even age and had the same spikey haircut. One dude that was physically fit in HS gained about 80 lbs of flab and looked like hell. I thought that was hilarious because he acted like such the man in HS.
Mine was ok I suppose all in all. I did talk with several people. That was fun. There was some girl I dumped in HS and she was glaring at me the whole night. C'mon it was 10 years or more lighten up!!! I could not believe that.
However, I only stayed for about 2.5 hours. I don't think I'd go to another one. At least I can say that I went. No big deal either way.
Oh yeah, the main groups still remained intact. I think itls just because people are comfortable with the folks they hung out with in school and want to get caught up with them before moving on to people they did not know.
-
So I went and actually had a really great time. I am really glad I turned a 180 on this one. We had a big party on Friday night at my friends house with a lot of my good close friends from back in the day. Saw some people I hadn't seen in 7,8,9 years. It was great, sad thing is I had to leave around 11 so I was really glad I went to the reunion on Saturday too. Got to catch up some more with people who were there on Friday, saw a ton of friends who I hadn't seen since graduation. Good times...
Highlight of the evening was one guy dancing naked on the dance floor due to a little bit too much to drink...fool
Sad thing was the fact that only 100 or so out of our class of 400 came, there were 30-40 more people I honestly would love to see and catch up.
-
I skipped mine. First, I had to work. Second, I wasn't really fond of a lot of the people in my school. It was way too clique-ish back then, and I didn't really feel like revisiting that.
On a similar note, my 10th College reunion is coming up next year. I might go to that one, although I haven't decided for certain.
