Did you go to your 10 year reunion?

Mine is this weekend (it's actually an 11 year reunion.  They had trouble accessing our funds last year).  I thought about going for about 2 seconds.  With Facebook and everything, I already know what people are up to.  The people that I want to have contact with, I do.  I wasn't "popular" or a "loser".  I had my own friends, many of whom are still my friends now and those are the only ones I really care to talk to. 

I hope I don't sound like a jerk...I just had no desire to see people that I never really even spoke to in high school.

Re: Did you go to your 10 year reunion?

  • I did NOT go.  Absolutely no desire to.  My girlfriends and I got together over the summer and had our own "anti-reunion" with the 8 or so of us who still hang out/talk.  It was much more fun!

  • Yeah, I didn't go either.  I don't even talk to anyone from high school anymore so it would have been a long night of awkward "what are you up to now" conversations.  I hate those.

    Same here!

  • We didn't have one.  I'm on the fence about if I would have gone or not.

  • I went last year and sadly it was just like high school. The biiitch was still a biiitch etc. It was nice to see some people and I'm glad I went because I know but not so sure I'd go to a next one.

  • We didn't have one because no one wanted to plan it.  I probably would have gone if there was one although I still talk to some people from high school and others are my friends on FB so I know what they are up to.  Doubt I'd learn anything new by going but it might have been fun to actually see some of the people in person. 
  • I wanted to go but the organizers changed the date at the last minute (to a sunday-WTF?!) and it was my bachelorette weekend and I was too hung over to make an appearance...LOL

  • I went to mine, and I had a blast!  I am really bad at keeping in touch with people, even with FB, and it was really nice to see my HS friends in person.  I wasn't particularly popular in high school, but I wasn't a social outcast either.  They had a big table where you could find a letter you wrote to yourself before graduation, which was pretty neat. There were a few people there that I stayed away from, b/c I didn't like them ten years ago and didn't feel like striking up a conversation now, but I think that's true of ANY large group of people - there will be some there I like and some I don't.  :-)

  • I actually did go to mine, but it was really nothing exciting at all.. It was great to see some friends with whom I still talk to, but live pretty far away. Other than that, it was kind of weird in that it felt like 'forced' interaction with people I didn't even speak with in HS... I had mixed feelings about the whole idea, but I'm glad I got to see some people I would not have seen.

  • Mine's in 3 years and I honestly cannot wait. My high school class was pretty tight and I knew and spoke with everyone. While I've lost touch with many of them, my classmates are the type of people where we can literally sit back down and catch up quickly and it's like no time ever passed. I felt really lucky in high school for the great people I went to school with and even now I do as well. In fact, we went to a wedding last weekend for a friend of ours and saw a bunch of classmates (from Jeff's class, mine and the one behind mine). It was like only a few months had passed and we had a great time with all our old classmates.

    Same here.  Not worth it at all.

  • I went and it was okay.  A lot of people did not end up going because the class president decided to have it at a place about 30 minutes from our hometown, instead of at the place where all of the local stuff is at.

  • I did NOT go.  I had absolutely no desire to see anyone from high school , I don't even talk to anyone really from high school any more and nor do I even care what they are doing - it would just be a night full of fake conversation and no on really cares about you are up to "these days" anyhow, its just something to say.
  • I went to mine, it was nothing great.  Not many people actually went.  Maybe 20 out of 170ish in our class.  I wont go again, it was like $70 a couple for a crappy buffet and one hour bar/wine at a local golf course.  The people I would have liked to see weren't there.  It was a better turn out than the graduating class a yr before mine, they only had 8 ppl out of 160ish.

  • I went to mine and had a ball! {uhm... i'm coming up on my 20 year at this point}! Yikes!

     

    Granted, since mine was in 02, the whole FB thing hadn't hit yet. However, we had a picnic and it was awesome. It was great to see so many people. I think our intentions of always staying in touch with those who are you are close too and all, but life gets in the way and it was great to hang out and reconnect, if only for that fun weekend.

    Sadly though, so many are now separated and/or divorced from my class, that i'm not so sure about the 20 year one.  

  • So I was a class officer and tried to help plan mine.... but the old class president was adamant about having it at this fancy banquet hall for $50 a person (he did get a good deal though).... I, on the other hand, wanted to have it at a local bar and just have a door charge of like $20 for appetizers and maybe an hour of open bar or something...I lost.

    So i paid to go, but at the last minute, my work offered to send me to the Bonnaroo music fest... and I didnt anna pass up a weekend of Stevie Wonder, Jay Z, DMB, Weezer, Tenacious D and Dropkick Murphys...

     Im sad I didnt get to go, because our class was pretty close - although most of my friends were anti reunion... but the $$ kept alot of people away... I think only about 20-30 ppl went out of nearly 200.
