s/o People from high school
s/o from a confession below.
How many people are you still in touch with from high school?
I don't talk to anyone from high school. I have a few people on Facebook but I never actually talk to them. But its been 10 years since graduation and they all still hang out together. This whole group of people still get together nearly every weekend and hang out at the same bars we did 5 years ago. I can't decide if its neat they are all still so close. Or if its weird.

My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
I'm still really good friends with people from elementary school and jr. high. Like, really good friends. And I just had lunch this week with an old gal pal of mine from jr high whom I have not seen in 18 years. it was like no time had passed between us and it was absolutely wonderful to see her.
I went to high school in another country and FB hasn't caught on to many of my HS friends yet, so I don't keep too close of contact with that group. But yeah, I still have close friends from waaayyyy back. I find Austin is kinda like that. If you grew up here, you're likely still here, or have moved back here and are still friends with the people you grew up with.
I've known all but one of my closest friends since elementary school, and I met my other closest friend in high school. We've kept in touch pretty well over the years, despite occasionally living across the globe or the U.S. from each other. Three of them are back in Austin now, and I see them regularly.
Other people from high school, I don't talk to often. I remained friends with several during college, but don't really keep in touch now.

I went to high school with my husband. We didn't date in high school (in fact we hated each other), but obviously we still talk
DH still has a group of friends from HS that we still hang out with, and he's really close to.
I wouldn't say our best friends are from high school though, but yes we still see a lot of people we went to school with on a regular basis.
I'm in touch with some of my very good friends from high school. Like 4 of them. That's it. They're great. We're all bad about staying in touch constantly but we can all count on each other if we need it. I love them like sisters.
DH still has lots of friends from high school. Probably at least 10. I only like 3 of them, the rest drive me crazy. ha.
Well, I met my husband in high school, so I see him everyday :-p...other than him, there are 2-3 that I care to keep in touch with on a regular basis (I see them face to face monthly). I keep up with others (like 5 more) from facebook, and the rest I guess I'll see in a few years when we have a reunion. Most of my friends that hang out with a lot are people I met in college.
I did go to high school in a very small town and a lot of them still live there and still all hang out and act just like they did in high school. I hide at my mom's when I go visit her and try not to go anywhere just so I don't have to be a part of it all again...
a few:
* BFF from high school
* college roomie (we were more of acquantances in high school). she married her bf from high school though & DH played baseball with him
* our neighbors -- oddly someone from high school (again more acquantances than friends during high school) moved in about a block away. we see him & his wife occassionally
* another couple from high school
TONS of people from high school still hang out. i also can't decide if its neat that they're all still so close or just weird
I still have lots of friends from high school, and I think a lot of that has to do with going to hs in Austin & staying in Austin after school too. My best friend (a guy) is someone I knew in high school, we lived together in college, and have been tight ever since.
DH is the same way - his best friend has been his best friend since he was 12.
ETA: Shout-out to CollieJade & Jay&Jack - girls I knew from what? elementary school? Doss Owls!
Woot! Or should I say, "Whoo hoo hoooooooo?"
ETA: Dude, next time you're in town the three of us should get together for a beer and chew the fat about the old crowd. I'd love to know what became of a few people.
I have two high school friends who live in Austin and I still count as friends (one is my best friend and was my MOH). We all went out of state after high school, but have made our way back to Austin and hang out frequently. There are two others that I keep in touch with and see whenever they're in town (one is out of state and one overseas) and a few others that I am FB friends with and see at group things, but don't really have one-on-one contact with.
I'm friends with quite a few people from high school on FB and have thought about clearing some out, but it's just nice to know when there are major developments in peoples' lives and otherwise I gloss over their updates and such.
I have a bunch of HS friends on FB. There was a mass-friending around the time of planning our reunion (last year). Plus I was in band so I've friended a lot of those people (waves to Carisa).
I still am close with a few girls from HS/middle school... the core group has been pretty tight for a while b/c most of us went to UT and even worked at the same store while in college.
Everyone else I am interested to know what is going on with them and I like seeing updates (until they get super annoying, then I hide them).

This. I also have people on my facebook from high school that still hang out every weekend and get drunk pretty much. To me, it's just weird. I have my few best friends from high school but other wise I made new friends in college that I hang out with now.

Hi AustinBride!
Im friends with alot of people from HS on facebook, with being in marching band and guard we spent ALOT of time together over four years. Most are people that I will probably not ever hang out with again IRL, but I see alot of people out and about around Austin. And there are a handful of people that Im good friends with.
I talk to one person from high school. She also happens to live in Austin and we've stayed in touch all through college and beyond. She was also one of my bridesmaids in our wedding.
Other than that - I have a lot of friends on facebook from high school... but nobody I actually speak to anymore. I went to a small(ish) high school and there are tons of people that stayed in that small town, didn't continue with their education, married someone from that town, and already have 2-4 kids. (not that anything is wrong with their choices... they were just not for me).
I felt like I didn't have a lot in common with most of the people I went to school with - so I don't feel like I'm missing out on much now that I'm an adult and don't know about thier lives.
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
I am still really good friends with one girl that I met Freshman year, in fact we just went on a girl's trip together last weekend. She was also a bridesmaid.
Just before my wedding I became friends again with a high school friend from Junior year because she was hanging out with the girl above. We still see each other about 50% of the time when I come back to Houston.
This weekend I went to a wedding shower of one of my best friends from high school. We're not very good friends still but we occasionally hang out.
I also reunited with a fellow classmate because she moved here from Houston and doesn't know many people and we get along great. So yeah, I still talk to a couple of people from high school. I also went to a very small private school so that may be the difference.
