I know where u r coming from on seeing the people from your past. Some of the are tore up---from the floor up.

With Myspace and Facebook, I have been able to get in contact with a lot of my HS classmates. Some of them look great....some don't. What amazes me is how many of them have grandchildren (I'm only 35). I went to a small-town school and some of the girls had kids when we were in middle school and high school. A couple of girls in my class have grandchildren that are under the age of 5 (that's scary as hell to me).

..and after all these years you still hold a grudge against them? If you feel good about seeing those people doing worse than you right now, then I guess your high school days weren't too long ago. Or at least that's what I hope, because it's really pathetic.

if i found out that someone in my graduating class was a meemaw or a peepaw, i'd have to have a complete mindwipe and like, i don't know, join the hare krishnas and change my name to cinnamon or something.

i found out that a few someones from my graduating class have pretty serious coke addictions.

i would rather stay away. seeing them in person would turn me all crazy like that ronald mcdonald commerical that sammij keeps posting.

eikonoklastes said:

I never said I held a grudge against them. It just makes me feel good (which I know is probably wrong) to see people that made fun of me or totally ignored me in school having sh!tty lives. BTW, I've been out of school for 17 years.

JasmineFire said:

oh, hell. coke addictions i can handle. finding out that the president of our art guild is now a grammaw is way outside of my ability to process.

JustErin said:

That's just my honest opinion. I don't live in the past and wish everyone well even if I couldn't stand them back then.

Need to go for anymore tests?

JasmineFire said:

No. Bitterness is about rancor or animosity. I don't feel either of those. Most of those guys were mean to me because I showed them up academically. It was they who were bitter...not I.

The guys who had it upstairs liked me - because I wasn't a threat to their "manhood." I love seeing them at the reunions - because we get to sharpen our wits on each other all over again.

I live in the same town I went to high school in, gasp....24 years ago!!!
I run into people I went to school with all the time, I do not need to go to a reunion. I just go down to my local Starbucks and they are sitting there drinking their latte's. Enough is enough.

I have absolutely no interest in seeing people in high school, even to know how my friends from that period ended up


But, if I were interested in going, sure--why not.

I'd ask her if she was interested, if yes, fine. If no, fine... But I would want to show her off a little. My wife is the greatest thing to happen to me, ever. When she gets dressed all fine to go out she breaks neck's with all the head turnin'

JustErin said:

In August and then again in October.

Oh thanks for reminding me.

eikonoklastes said:

Couldn't resist.

Anxiety said:

i think i could handle that. there were a few teenage parents who i went to high school with and if their children take after them, and my math is correct...then it's about time for the grandbabies to start hatching.

this is kinda the same reason why i avoid going back to my dad's church. last Christmas i ran into the mother of a girl who i was friends with in high school. this woman's an old heroin addict..who may or may not have recovered. in anycase, she made a beeline to me after the service and started rambling all Courtney Love style at me for about 20 minutes. I expected her to start throwing her compact at me any minute. It should have been entertaining but it was just really sad.

Seriously, if I were you Bob, I'd take Casey JUST BECAUSE I went to a Catholic high school.

My 10-year HS reunion comes up in 2010, and I'm on the fence about it. IF my two best friends and I go, we're going to literally do it up right--arrive late, leave early, having crashed the place drunk, doing our best to further tarnish our already fucked-up reputations.

Don't worry, we'll have a taxi or something.

Oh, and my boyfriend can only go if he's interested in crashing it with us. He's not worried about embarrassing himself, as he's more of a goof than I am, but all of our significant others are probably better off steering clear.

I graduated with my hubby, so he got an invite too

Yeah, probably but with the knowledge that they are going to be bored out of their skull.

And then you'll owe them something really, really nice.
