Don't forget to play ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man"


Better yet, rent a helicopter or parachute in!

 
I'm back and forth. I stayed in contact with most people I wish it see again. I drive by my high school practically every day anyhow. new paint, new building, new gym since I left.

the only person I'm looking for is a person from junior high that I last saw freshman year of hs. there on out lost contact. all her friends(from junior high) that went to hs with me lost touch also.

Only reason left to go is hopefully be able to shove in the face of some people who thought they were so good for going to stanford or cal. last I heard I'm richer than them. Oh and laugh at the stupid people who thought they were so cool.
 
we didn't have a 5-year reunion.

I probably won't go to the 10-year reunion, though. I mean, unless something changes in the next 3 years, everyone that I'd be really interested in seeing either: wouldn't go, or I still hang out with them. the only ones that I can see really getting jazzed up over it, at least from my graduating class, are all the tools that I hated when I was there. I don't really care enough about them to wonder what they're doing with their lives or try to impress them with what I'm doing with mine.
 
5 year comes up in a month. I figure I'll go to it since I'm in the area. Who knows where I'll be in 5 years. Granted, I don't think many people will have changed that much, other than the few unlucky enough to have gotten married already. 😛

Five years sounds so pointless.

Actually, it's probably the least pointless one. Because you're probably finished college, and just landed in the working world.

I hated high school. But as soon as it was gone, I realized how much I missed it.

I spent most of the following summer tracking down this girl. We clicked very, very late in the game - like, uh, graduation day.

Exchange of phone numbers was cut short at the area codes by pretentious assfvck teachers who were telling us to line up and look proper, even though we weren't even going to start walking out of the basement for 20 minutes yet.... So she had to go. We were to meet up afterwards and exchange the info.

It never happened in the chaos. I couldn't find her. My best bet was that she was still inside, waiting for the crowd to disperse before fighting out the doors - and fighting through a throng of 1200 people pouring out of a single set of double doors was impossible.

Eventually tracked her down on Facebook in August. Had a few dates, and then went off to school. Fell completely out of touch, then.

And that's just one story. There are a bunch of people that I'd like to know how they're going to do in the real world.
 
I'm five years out and no one's organized anything. I figure I'll drop by my 10 and 20 year, but I'm definitely planning on spending time at my 40-year. That's when you have a chance to see what people have done with their lives and who they've become.
 
I went to my 20 year hs reunion 2 yrs ago. What an amazing experience. Many of the girls who I remember who were skinny got fat, and vice-versa.
 
Went to my 5year last year, had a great time. I'm not good at staying in touch with people and not the type to randomly look people up and write an email saying "Hi" so I got to see people I hadn't seen in a while. Plus most of us live in different states/continents so getting more than 2 together would be a huge chore.
 
I went to my 10 year... it was pretty fun seeing a lot of people i hadn't kept in touch with.

Everyone says they'll keep in touch, but they don't. I saw my high school girlfriend and
she was still very pretty 🙂 ... married with a kid, but still hot. LOL

i shined the 20th.
 
My 5 year should have been this year but I never heard anything, so I guess it didnt happen. I plan on going to my 10 year, should be fun to see all the former babes now bloated with 5 kids.
 
My 10 year reunion is next year, I'll be going for sure. High school was a neutral experience for me, I like college life a lot better.
 
I don't think they let me attend as I dropped out in the 9th grade. Those bastards! Discriminating against us High School dropouts

No they'll let u go. They don't really care, as long as they get their f*ckin $85 ticket fee.

 
I'll go to network. I'll rent a Ferarri and powder blue ruffle tux for the heck of it.

I heard that someone in our class deliberately took the position of reunion chair just so we wouldn't have one 😀
 
heck no. i did not go to my 5 yr or 10 yr one. not one person in my class i cared to see that i did not see regularly anyway.
 
Hell no. Was a ghost and will always be a ghost. You can count on one hand how many photos you'll find of me, I even managed to avoid the ones I "should" have been in. That and most of the people I knew were snobbish asswipes aside from a few I fell out of touch with.
 
We had a 5 and a 10. 5 was just a pig roast in a park. Very informal. 10 was renting out the upper room at a bar and having some hors d'ouvres and drinks and such. More of jsut a social time.

I still haev a big group of friends from HS that have stuck together so we see each other pretty often.

I'll go to our next one assuming it's not something outrageously expensive.
