I have been to all my reunions except one. And I was still away at college. Once you get to the 20th, it all seems to finally fall into place for everyone. And we’re all mostly just like our parents.

Love the junkyard romance blog template. You have a real knack for bringing out the personality of wordpress. i am going to the link about how to leave blogger right now.

The Moleskine is pretty intimidating at first. Just start doodling. Eventually, you will figure out where to go next with it. Or get several. I have so many with different purposes now, it’s not even funny.

I went to my 10 year. This year is 15 since graduation, but I haven't heard about any reunion plans. Not sure I'd go again even if there were. I knew a lot of people in high school, but I wasn't very close to any of them. InterstellarLass's last blog post..Yowzers!

I had to chuckle at your blog today. Not because people were dying of course, but lately I have been looking up a lot of people on Ancestry.com to see what happened to them. I belong to that and can look at the Social Security Death Index and other info. I am glad I am not the only one doing these things, but I was really bummed when I found out that most of the people I was close with when I was in my 20’s have passed away. It was kinda strange and really bothered me. These people have all died around 8-10 years ago. I am 52 so it was disheartening to know they all died so young. Googling is an interesting thing, and it’s addicting LOL. I have found a lot of family information for genealogy as well, which is a good thing, lots of pictures of relatives and the like.

I hope you are feeling better about the food/diet/weight thing… its such a burden on our souls isn’t it? We just have to do the best we can and not beat ourselves up too much.

I’ve been going to mine every 10 years. I enjoy my classmates as much now as I did on the first. I always felt kind of like an outsider, but on our first reunion, I found that there really aren’t any outsiders after you graduate. We had a lot of fun, and I enjoyed hearing how people “turned out”. I also enjoyed finding out that most of them actually LIKED me!! We aren’t going to have a 50th because it is too sad to see and hear who isn’t going to be there. When reminded of the good times, sometimes it seems as if there were more of them than you remember!

I went to my 20th and while there realized why I hadn't gone to my 10th and why I wouldn't be planning to go to any others. It was too weird. I think I'd rather remember the people as they were at the time they were part of my life. They are strangers now. Of course, my little circle of high school friends weren't there. Perhaps I would have felt differently had they been. June's last blog post..Wordless Wednesday Canyon View

I had my twentieth reunion last summer and it triggered something in my brain where I cannot stop thinking about those darn people from high school. Especially a couple of them.

I've never been to any of my reunions. And I probably will never go. The reunion committee keeps booking the event at a beach front hotel that is no where near our homecity. :rolleyes: I get that many of my class still live in our home city (Tampa, FL) but I know that most of them do not have the cash to go to this shindig. Oh and I need to add that this hotel isn't a family kind of place, so I guess they're expecting me to ditch my kid somewhere for them too. :rolleyes: No thank you. I'm not all that interested in being found anymore. I did that classmates for a bit once and the only people I found from my class on there were folks I knew who they were, but we didn't hang out.
