The Coffee House

Most of the friends I had back then I met outside of school. As for the kids I went to school with, I didn't care much for them then and I don't think that will have changed much now. Haven't bothered with any of our reunions.

I enjoy HS reunions. It’s nice to see what everyone is up to. Every 10 years or so is enough. But the people from HS that I really liked and was especially close to, we still get together at least annually for a drink or two - usually around the holidays.

Agreed. I've heard nothing from anyone for years now, and skipped the only one I did get contacted about since I lived out of state by then, and it was a big formal dinner at some club. Icky. Most of my friends in high school were a year or two ahead, really.

I didn't go to my 10th. I was in Turkey and I also probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I didn't really have anything against anyone in high school, but 10 years seemed a bit too soon and I figured everyone would still be pretty cliquey.

I was curious enough by the 20th reuinion to go check out the pub night with my friend. Plus, there was an arrest made at the 10th reunion, and I was hoping to see some more action (The guy who was arrested did show up at the 20th. He wasn't arrested again, but he had started balding at 38, which was a big deal because he had some major hair-metal-band hair going on back in the 80s.)

So I found that for the most part, the people who annoyed me still annoyed me, just in slightly different ways. Some people I didn't know well turned out to be more interesting than I thought they would be, and others turned out to be just as boring as I'd imagined they would be. Some people changed and got much nicer, and others who used to be nice turned out to be kinda horrible.

Meh. We'll see how curious I am next year if anything actually gets put together.

I don't go to my reunion's, no one knows where I live.

Fedex and UPS can only find my place about half the time. Should be safe enough.

You're right. However, holding your drink the correct way and chasing women eased off about the 40th and people no longer had a point to prove. So I'm looking forward to this one. The attendance list is about 60 people.

I don't recall our class having cliques, there weren't that many of us to being with, we'd been together since early childhood, so we knew each other fairly well and in our small community it was likely our parents knew each other as well. As in any group there are personality conflicts, for one reason or another so you may not have associated as close friends, but even then we still talked to each other. The other factor for us was this was a very "rural" area. Playmates growing up were far and few between, so as youngsters you didn't have a choice in being discriminating. Maybe some of that carried over in High School. For me, and most others I think it was more a case of we grew away from the area. Unless you were farming there were few work opportunities for young people, and other than Church, no social opportunities.

College lacrosse back to back to back to back... 4 games in a row, so that's fine since it's gotten muggier and clouding up - yuck!

Lil' french toast. Last night it would have been Lil' Rocky Road (or Lil' chocolate marshmellow?).

I went to one class reunion, 15 or 20? It was OK, saw some friends from high school but a lot didn't come so it didn't particularly make me want to go again. I knew a lot of kids because I was in a lot of activities, but I had more friends from working at summer camp etc. that were the ones that lasted.
