10 year HS reunion
H's reunion is coming up in June and I'm dreading it. Mine is next year and I really dont want to go. Im being a downer about H's reunion and I feel bad. His friends from HS that we enjoy being around are people we still see fairly regularly (all maybe 3 of them) so I don't really understand going and basically waiting to be judged by your entire class of "friends". Even my grandpa said his was hilarious...solely because people did stupid crap like rent Cadillacs in order to put on a front of success. Why am I so not into this?? A lot of people posting on their reunion wall from FB are dying to go.
Will you attend your 10 year/did you attend your 10 year?
Re: 10 year HS reunion
I went to mine, and it kind of sucked.
First, I got braces just a couple of weeks before it and the I got a giant cold sore like a day or two before. AWESOME.
Also, not a lot of people attended (small towns) and people mostly talked to the people they were close with in high school and since. A lot of people I would have liked to have caught up with didn't come, which is ironic since a lot of them never left. I know that I got a few disapproving looks when I said that I was not married.
Now is where I will be a total ass and say that one HS friend and I compared what everyone is doing now and determined we were pretty sure that we were the highest paid graduates from our class. Redemption?
I still have another 4 years, but as of now, I think I'll go. Thanks to Facebook I still feel pretty connected to a lot of people from high school. I know what a majority of them are doing so I probably won't be too surprised.
On the other hand, I am not looking forward to H's reunion at all.
You couldn't pay me to attend mine. I'm from a larger high school in Texas and have kept in touch with the people I care about. Plus, facebook kind of defeats the purpose of catching up with people.
We might go to H's. He's from a small town around here, and had a graduating class of around 80, I believe. We speak to quite a few of his HS classmates, and his parents still live in that town, so we're just not as far removed from that group and I am to mine.
I went to mine. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. It was mostly just boring. I went to a very small clique-ish school, but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of that mentality still around, though I did glimpse a bit of high school behavior.
We also went to Kevin's and I would say I had at least as much fun, if not more, there. A lot of his friends went though and I like them.

H's is next year, and I think he wants to go...since we graduated a year apart from the same school, we know a lot of the same people, and I don't mind going. A couple of my ex-boyfriends are in his graduating class, so that might get a little weird...but I'd still go. I think a lot of people will be surprised we're married because we're literally the last two people anyone thought would get together and stay together for as long as we have.
I'll probably attend mine. I'm still close with about a third of my graduating class, and it'll be nice to see everyone. FB has helped me stay connected, but I'd still like to see a lot of them in person.
Mine was this past October, and I did not go. Aside from the fact that it was in Chicago and I couldn't make the trip, I had no desire (I had this revelation one day looking at my class Facebook page--I was thinking about how much I disliked so many people, and I realized that it would be stupid for me to pay money to spend hours in the same room as them).
Also, the girl who planned it did a HORRIBLE job. Really--it was at The Fox & Hound, and for $45 you got two drink tickets and appetizers. She announced the location, date, and price on Facebook less than three weeks before the reunion. But apparently I'm not the only one who didn't go--out of a class of over 600 people, less than 30 showed up to the reunion I heard.

Mine was in fall of 2010, and I didn't go. I haven't really kept in touch with anyone from HS apart from FB, and most people still live in the small town and hang out regularly. I would have felt like an outsider. Heh. Kind of like HS.
ANYWAY. I may have considered going for shiiits and giggles, but tickets were $50 for crappy Chelino's catering and a CASH bar. Um, for $50 I can get a bottle of wine and good food at my favorite restaurant and hang out with people I actually know and like. No thanks.
Since H has gone to school with these people since kindergarten, I know he would like I go. Maybe since I moved there at the end of my freshman year I don't feel a connection. I just know most of the people from my class were total assholios when I moved there. I'm sure after 10 years some of them might be more mature, but I seriously have my doubts after seeing them interact on Facebook. Sheesh.
I did not attend mine. I am pretty shy (as is H) and am not close with any of the friends I had in HS, so I figured it would be miserable. Although, after seeing pics on Facebook I kind of wish I would have, it looked like it was pretty fun.
We didn't attend H's reunion either, which I was surprised about because he went to the same small school his whole life.
I went to mine and dragged my DH with me. I was glad to see some of my really good friends - we're rarely back in town at the same time - but it seemed like many of the clique-ish kids from h.s. hadn't changed at all and were still stuck-up d-bags.
Out of a class of 300+ ppl, only about 50 showed up...including a few ppl who didn't actually graduate with us (they failed senior year or transferred schools before graduating)...and a majority of those who attended were the stuck-up ppl. If I could do it again, I'd probably save my money, skip it, and meet my friends at a nicer restaurant instead.
