My ten year reunion is coming up. I always assumed I would go but now that it's staring me in the face I just. don't. know.
I was on the phone to my best friend from high school the other night and we were discussing if we should go or not. In high school, the two of us pretty much stayed together all the time and made fun of other people.
It's a theme that has continued throughout most of my life.
Anyway, we were discussing that if we go, we would pretty much be doing the same thing - sitting back and making fun of everyone else. Something I can do in the comfort of my own living room and I wouldn't have to travel eight hours and pay 50 bucks to do so.
Plus if I go, I'm sure I will be reminded of all the stupid, idiotic things I did in high school (and trust me there were some doozies). I guess though that everyone will be too wrapped up in his or her own insecurities to worry about someone else (FYI: that little peal of wisdom is for free. the next one costs.).
But I know if I don't go, I'll probably regret it. What are your thoughts? Did you go to your reunion or do you plan to?
I had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on Cason the other night. The culprit was a barbecued meatball. I think we both handled it pretty well. He chocked, I reacted, he got back in his chair and promptly popped another meatball in his mouth. This has nothing to do with high school. I just thought I'd share.

I'd definitely go! Besides the fact that we'd all get to see you, you WILL regret not going. I went to mine (gasp! Back in 1985!!) and am glad I did it validated for me that the "popular people" were still clueless as to how to properly live ones life and that "those nerds with principles" were well adjusted and for the most part, quite successful
Having said that, I have no intention of attending any more. Just beware of the "prizes"...I won for "farthist away to attend" (we lived in England then) and my "prize" was paper toilet seat covers.
Nice. Really nice.
I received my invitation yesterday. The dilemma? My BFF from high school is planning the shindig. I think I'm going...
The upside about Derek's reunion is that I get to hang with Liz.
I went to my 10 year reunion 3 years ago. It wasn't as big of deal as I thought it would be. I had fun though because the 3 other girls I hung out w/in HS that I hadn't seen in 9 years were there and WE had a blast and that's all that mattered! We could've been the only ones there and we still would've had fun! Ours was more than $50 though...no fair! I"m looking more forward to the 15 or 20 yr though because since then I've been talking w/people on FB that would be interesting to see again! :)
I not only went, but I planned mine. Part of the luxury of being Class Secretary. Geez, I was so textbook back then. And now.
Yes! Brooke and I get to go to Nathan and Derek's together. The best part being we get to make fun of a bunch of people we don't know. It'll be just like sitting in the kid's play area at Q.S. mall.
I went to my 10 year reunion last summer. My best friend wasn't able to go because she was having surgery. I am glad I went though because I know I would have regreted not going. It wasn't a ton of fun but it was good to see old faces. You should go!
I am not going to the reunion. I mean, I can see what these people are up to on Facebook if I'm really that interested. Besides, I'm in Louisville, AND I have to study for the Bar. I'm not incredibly excited to spend a night with people who I haven't even thought of in years. That being said, I would like to see you and Stacey. :)
I recently got my invitation to my 10 year and was relieved to discover that my sister in law is getting married that day so know I don't have to decide.
I'm in the same boat. My reunion is this summer. I always assumed I wouldn't go to mine because I don't really care about anyone from HS. But now I think I'm going to go. I want to see what everyone looks like and make fun of them. HAHA!
I'm actually looking forward to mine. I'm not sure why, but it is the honest truth. Mainly I just want to force Kody to go with me because I'm pretty sure he is going to whine about it.
I had mine in August. I was looking forward to mine but it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. It was great seeing everyone but there is only two that I keep in contact with now, via their blogs and ironically we all live within twenty minutes of each other.
