1. They just held the 40th |
|
for my class (Henry Ford, 68). But I haven't been to any so far, so why start now? :)

I heard there was a tenth and my name was on a list of missing persons. That was during my Israeli hillbilly commie years, so they didn't look in the right place.
Hey, my 35th just passed. I was never nostalgic over high school anyway.

I talked to one friend from Boy Scouts that showed up. The rest I didn't give a damn about. I had so very few high school friends that were in my class anyway, why start now? :P

5. After graduating 30 years ago, never set foot in there again. |

High school sucked. Home life sucked. The whole world sucked. x(

And likewise, I ain't goin' neither. They did just fine without me for the 10th and 20th year reunions.

It was fun, actually, but I never went to any of the others. One was enough.

10. At the 20th people still look pretty good. I regretted going |
|
to my 30th. It was depressing seeing a bunch of people I knew when they were young and vibrant looking old beyond their years and beaten down by circumstance.
I have no desire to see anymore.

Nobody I hoped to see was there...just the jocks and cheerleaders and people who hadn't moved out of that little town.
I suppose I'll go to my 50th. Pretty much everyone makes it to that one. Buncha old farts talking about old times. Oh, well...

mine without me too.. Fuck them. They were, for the most part, evil and mean to me. Being bullied was bad enough so why would I go and see any of them? My 35th is next year... Yippee.

13. They're for people who peaked in high school |
|
I haven't gone to any of mine or even heard of any.
If I showed up, I'd have to start killing people.

No way I'm gonna be there. No need for me to show my face and validate the asshats that treated me like sh*t all those years ago. F*ck 'em.

16. My 20th was in October... |
|
but I didn't feel like being a zoo exhibit, given the amount of emails I had received from people we didn't give 2 shits about in high school who were all of a sudden my husband and my best friend. I doubt I will ever go to one. I graduated with a bunch of gossips and navel gazers. I guess all of us do, but these people never grew out of it. :)

And I'm not going either. I didn't much like HS and I have no desire to see anyone I went to school with. Luckily, I live 2500 miles away from where I went to high school... that's always a good excuse not to go, not that I needed any excuse.

18. I went to my 50th in 2006 |
|
Surprise, there was only a bunch of old folks there. Actually I had a good time, it was good to see them for the first time in 50 years. There were only 26 in my class and 17 made it back for the 50th reunion.
