Heh. I hear only 3 people showed up to my ten year reunion. Two of them were organizers.

Heh, the only people that will show up to my 10 year reunion are the people I would least like to spend an evening with. :laugh2:

I wouldn't mind the 3 people who did show up to mine but wouldn't go out of my way to see them. There was very little class spirit for us. A full third of the class seemed to be illegals - many of them didn't even speak English. Some of them were clearly at least 20. Most of those didn't graduate. More than half of the other 2/3 had problems at home and were just trying to get through high school. Two of the top ten ranked students dropped out with less than a month to go - I was also in the top ten until I gave up and very nearly failed out in the last two quarters. My high school class was a mess and the administration knew it. They even tried to cancel our senior prom because they were afraid it may get too ugly to handle.

I'd actually like to go to mine just to see how all the ass-holes turned out. From what I've heard through the grapevine, the kids who made my life a living hell in high school all wound up developing drug and/or alcohol problems and aren't exactly doing well. I own a house, have a very well paying job, and am in a great physical and financial shape. I've run into a few people I went to high school with since I graduated and they have indeed grown up. There are a few folks who had the balls to come up to me and say "Hey, sorry I gave you such a hard time in high school. I was a bit of an idiot back then. No hard feelings?". Those people, while I wouldn't go out of my way to hang out with them, earned some respect.
I highly doubt we'll even have a reunion, however. Those who were our 'class leaders' are the ones who wound up with the drug and alcohol problems. Serves them right.

Go into a convenience store and look for the "You need to have been born on or before this day to buy tobacco" calendar.
Guaranteed to make you feel old.
Damn kids! Get offa my lawn!

Heh. A few years ago when I realized that the kids who were entering grade school were NEVER alive during the 20th century it really hit me hard. In 2017, when the kids graduating high school were never alive in the 20th century, it will probably hit me again. Then again, I'll be 37 that year so THAT will hit me hard. I've only got a couple years left of my 20's. Better not screw 'em up.
