My lame a** high school didn't have one
the guy they put in charge of it dropped the ball and couldn't put it together. I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I see everyone from high school that I want or need to anyway.

3. I went to my 25th a few years ago. Stayed 10 minutes,
then did what I did in HS...skipped out and got stoned.

7. I've never been to one of my reunions
It's been (counts on fingers.... and toes... and cat's paws...) 26 years now. Yikes! Maybe I'll go to the 30th....

8. People are MUCH friendlier at the 20th...
Just go and be yourself, I bet you are much more interesting than your classmates could ever be, no matter what they're doing these days.

9. I had my 20th last year. Don't worry about impressing people.
At my 20-year, people seemed much less anxious about impressing and much less interested in being impressed than they did at the 10-year. People are who they are. Certainly, there were a few "Look at meeeee!" types there, but for the most part it was pretty relaxed (as relaxed as it can be when 350 people plus guests are at a party! 350 equalled about half our class).

Whatever you decide to wear, try to avoid black. When I went to the 10-year, I wore a red dress. Nearly every other woman there was wearing a black or navy blue dress or outfit. At the 20-year, there was much more variety in what people wore.

10. Aren't I pathetic?
the people I went to high school with were for the most part pretty decent and okay. A few snobs, but generally a good batch of people.

I'm going through so many emotional things right now, and I worry about how I will impress people at a party. ;) haha. Yes, I have my shallow moments. :evilgrin:

So many people seem so "established" and I'm actually making some changes in my life because I've been so stuck. I guess deepdown I still feel I don't measure up to some people (in some ways).

:( oh well....what will be will be.

12. No, you're not.
I was anxious about going to my reunion too. It's normal. You'll be fine!
