I feel your pain, girlfriend. I have gained two people since I graduated. But that isn’t why I haven’t been to a reunion. Last year was my 30th anniversary reunion, and I haven’t been to any of them. Like Deemack5 and others, I kept in touch with those I cared about, and don’t give a hoot about the rest of them.

A few years ago, here in Atlanta (a long way from the small pond where we grew up) I ran into one of the “big frog” girls who wouldn’t give me time of day during high school. She latched onto me like a drowning man would a life preserver, claiming to be so thrilled to see “a good friend” from “back home” (translated: someone who might give HER time of day in the BIG pond). Being the polite southern girl I am, I courteously made a few moments of conversation and excused myself and only saw her one other time before she hopped back to the small pond of our youth.

Of it all, I was the most shocked at the fact that you put ketchup on your mac & cheese. I thought I was the only/wierd one that did that. I also make a worchestershire lagoon with my ketchup in order to dunk my hamburger. For birthday dinners 8 through 16, that was what I requested. Mac & Cheese and ketchup with a side of hamburger with worchestershire lagoon.

Cristy: No problem. I sent you an e-mail with instructions on how to get to the archives.

Do you have an archive? I just found your site and I like to read them from the “beginning”. Weird I know, but I can’t seem to find how to start on yours. thanks

I didn’t go either. I had a similar concern, but the reason we didn’t go was because everyone that we hung around with in high school are still our friends now. I should say that it would have been my 20th high school reunion. So instead of spending a ton of money to go to the reunion, we all got together and had a barbecue. I think it was much more fun!

DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF WHO YOU ARE! From everything I have read on here, I would be privaleged to know you and your family. I was not popular in school until my senior year. To this day I don’t know what changed, me or the perceptions of my classmates, but at my 5 year reunion I was greeted with actual happiness that I was there. People saw each other as who they really were and not what the pretended to be in high school. It was a wonderfully refreshing experience. I have looked forward to my 10 year ever since.

I went to a private girls school–plenty of skinny bitches to choose from. I went to my 20th (just the picnic part) because I wanted to show all the snots from high school that the “plain” boring girl did ok for herself. You know what?~~ALL of the snots that treated me like I was nothing, have grown up to be nothing themselves! Most of them are on their 2nd or 3rd marriages, have kids in jail etc. Guess we “normal” girls did ok for ourselves! Hold your head up and tell them to kiss your ass.

I’m thinner than I was in high school, but you know what? I already keep in contact with those people that really mattered to me from my high school years, so I don’t see any reason to go to a reunion. I skipped my fifth and soon I’ll likely be skipping my tenth.

I avoided them all untill my 30th. I just couldn’t see the upside. I stayed in touch with the people I felt were important and went to my 30th only to see what the rest of them were doing after all these years. In the end I found most of them pretty much as I had left them, nice to see every 30 years, but not that interested in their views of me or mine. I weigh 40% more than I did when I graduated, but to be honest, when I’m not sure it mattered much to anyone… including me.
