......to your class reunion.

Yall know I talk a lot, a lot an exorberant amount of shyt on the org, on facebook, whereever........Well, I've got my class reunion coming up and i may not be welcome cause of all the junk i say. most time on fb they dont respond so its hard to gauge...anyway...i doubt i'll go cause i probably made a bunch of enemies that im not aware of... But what the hell diff it make when people didnt talk to me anyway...what was it supposed to matter what i said....maybe that why i was talking shyt int he first place...hell ...idk.

I generally think people should do their class reunions.

I would probably never go to one of my own, though.

With the advent of facebook, reunions are going to become obsolete. The excitement of finding out who got fat, who was successful, seeing your old prom date, and what may have happened to everyone is completely gone. You can see what everyone’s up to and talk to the people you may actually still have something in common with already.

Even without it, I don’t think I’d go as it’s just not my thing, but now I REALLY have no reason.

I went to my 20th and I loved it. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a blast. It was surprisingly fun-filled.

I'm all booked to go to mine. May 21st.

I skipped mine, but I had a few mini-reunions around the same time, so I figure that's good enough

That's the truth. Thanks to Facebook, I've been in contact with folks from kindergarden and grammar school. Last time I saw many of them was the early-to-mid 70s. Now we chat all the time and get together every few months for dinner. That would be impossible without the internet/social networking sites.

Kids from my class never organized a reunion after the 5th year anniversary.

The only reunion is a school wide one that all the people from all the years goes to yearly.

This attracts a specific crowd and not the class I went to school with, so I would be in a room with 40+-something strangers I didn't go to school with.

Because of that, I wouldn't go.

I've been to every last one of mine. I always have a blast - I had a great class.

I would if I had gone to a school that had a lot of folks that like to party but that isn't the case with my school. I had been "exposed" to a Class of 1983 20th reunion of a predominately black school and they absolutely threw down! They had a DJ playing all the baddest old jams, they had spiked the punch, gotten drunk, and had formed a Soul Train line. The asses were shakin' from wall to wall. That class reunion would have been right up my alley.

When my Class of 1985 reunion came up two years later and I didn't go but I had a friend that went so I asked her what it was like the following Monday. She said those tired ass motherfuckers did Karaoke all night long, which is silly and boring enough as it is, but it was around Christmas time and motherfuckers kept singing "Grandma Got Run Over By A Motherfucking Reindeer". NOT my idea of a good time.

High school? Hell no. I don't talk to those people any more. College? Maybe. Haven't been to one in 16 years, though.

A group of people I went to HS and I get together for our own mini-reunions. We're not even all in the same class. We knew each other at an American HS in Germany and we try to get together every year. I just found them on facebook last year so I've only been to one mini-reunion.

I have no desire to go to the reunion for the school I actually graduated from. I was only there for 2 years and have only talked to one guy from that school. If I ever get the chance to meet up with him and meet his family though, I will do that.

I went to my 10th and 25th year high school reunions. Both were boring and I vowed never to return. I've never been to my college reunion because the class was huge, and I probably wouldn't know most of the folks who showed up.

Yes, I'd definitely go!

For one thing, there are a few people who thought they were great at school and are now living completely shitty lives, so I'd like to smirk at them.

I'm such a bitch sometimes.

At my last "official" class reunion three years ago (we've had informal get-togethers since then), two of the people who bullied me in middle school were there. One was a woman who looked incredibly rough - like she was an alcoholic and (probably) a meth addict.

The other was a man who, when we were in 7th grade, threatened me with bodily harm pretty much every day. At every single class reunion, he would sit and stare at me through the entire event. I found out he died of cancer last spring. His wife also died of cancer a few years before that - and they left three teenage daughters behind.

It was all I could do not to go to the fundraiser that was set up for his kids and say to them, "I hope nobody ever treats you the way your dad treated me." Fortunately, I had a rehearsal that day and couldn't go.

No way. I still keep in touch with the people from my class that I want to -- which is about 1 or maybe 2. The rest I really have nothing in common with or any desire to keep in touch with. I hate when they find me on Facebook through friends of friends. I did go to the class reunion for the grade ahead of me, which was probably more fun than my grade's would have been.

I went to a college class reunion once, it was okay but that was only because a lot of my college friends all planned that we would go. I was friends with a lot of girls that were in the same sorority and when I lived in Chicago, they would often have mini-reunions and invite me to join in, because several of the girls lived in Chicago. Now that I'm in NYC, they don't invite me and that's fine; I always felt a little awkward about it anyway.

I've NEVER gone to a class reunion, and I don't regret it. I didn't have a lot in common with most of those kids anyway, so it would be a total waste of time for me to go. I was shy in high school and got bullied a lot, so I don't care to see those people again. I don't care to waste my time and money to spend with people that I didn't care about and vice versa.

..I think I share mostly all your sentiments...

I have a few I'd like to see, but for the most part since i dont like half the shyt i hear them say on facebook, why go and be bored.... I'm stil not decided tho cause i'm such an attention hog...

why i hated all those ppl..except for a select few. i was the second youngest. my friends were a yr behind or ahead anyway

I don't have fond memories of high school.

I didn't go to my 10th, and last year I opted out of my 25th.

They were charging $140, and I decided that if I haven't talked to some of them in 25 years FOR FREE, I didn't want to pay....

Go and have fun with those few you want to see, make a party with them

Keep the rest at distance in a friendly, polite and very clear manner. Rehearse some sentences to get rid of anoying people at events like that.

Focus on the fun people and you'll have a great night.

It's not about who has how much money/status/looks/spouse, it's about how much fun you can have that evening. Don't fall for the trap of poisoning (you'r) atmosphere by your obsessive "what would so and so think about me?" thoughts

Have fun, dance, laugh, joke around, talk to people you like.

i don't think i would go...honestly. if i do find some old classmates on fb we dont have anything to talk about really...although it was funny to find one of my puppylove gfs for a bit. didnt miss nothing.

I went to both 10 and 20. 10 was a blast because the master came too and we got totally smashed, but the other one I went alone too and it was boring

Ron is coming of course. He actually knows a few of my classmates who turned out to be massage school students of his....small fuckin world.

cant wait to see those pics...

Sure, why not? I'm not in touch with a lot of them so I'd be curious for an update and see how everyone is doing.

It's not about laughing at who got fat/lost their looks or who isn't successful to me.

well black and white drag each other to the depths of hell sooo..... going to throw shade may be fun in the long run...
