Another Fan Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 The Beavis & Butthead thread took me a little back to those times! Only have one friend from there I still talk too and one guy I see about town every now and then. There’s only been two reunions I’ve known about, didn’t attend. How bout you?
Fadingpain Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Still have many friends from high school, having graduated nearly 20 years ago. Also donate money and enjoy browsing the "What's new" newsletter thing they mail to me.
The Poojer Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Graduated in '81 and i still regularly get together with 10-15 high school friends. My parents still live in the same house, so there are tons of ties for me.
boyst Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Nope. Never been to a reunion and don't really care to go to one. I never really cared for my community growing up, maybe I just didn't appreciate it but I was a fish out of water in an upper middle class neighborhood that didn't reflect the same views I had. 1

I have one close friend and a few people I see on an irregular basis from high school. I've been to only one reunion since I graduated quite a long time ago and did not enjoy it. I'm done with reunions. About fifteen years ago there were a few female classmates that looked me up but I was not going to jeopardize my marriage over any one of them. Generally, I was made to feel like an outcast while in school so most of it I don't miss one bit. I feel sorry for those that high school was the high point in their lives.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Grad in ‘97. Still have plenty of HS friends that I keep in touch with, but have never been to any class reunions. For every person that I would enjoy seeing, there are 20 that I would be completely annoyed talking to.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Are You kidding Me! Class of WestSenecaWest, 1986. No. LoL... 26 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Grad in ‘97.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 My ten year reunion (Frontier, 2008) was this summer. I was acquaintances with most people, but had only a few that I would actually consider to be a friend. The few who I'm friends with, I see every time I come home from Texas to visit. Plus with Facebook and other social media, I already know what they're all up to.

My small circle of friends (local) consists of mostly high school classmates. I went to my 20th reunion and it was pathetic. 30 is coming up next year; I might go. My son now goes to the same high school.
Soda Popinski Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 My son plays for a cross town rival and the day before my 20th reunion his JV team slapped the heck out of them 56-20 his freshman year. It was glorious. Other than that social media school mates, etc. all the girls got fat and had 3+ kids.
Gray Beard Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I live pretty far from my high school. Graduated in ‘75. I went to my 35th reunion. I exchange Christmas cards with a couple of them. I check in on Facebook rarely. We live in the town where my wife went to high school. She has a few friends that she still sees occasionally.
Misterbluesky Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I still keep in touch with some old buds (baseball,football,wrestling).Every once in a blue moon,we meet up with our brides included for a nice supper.The last reunion we went to I was under dressed,t-shirt,Bermuda shorts and flip flops....some of the fatchix had cocktail dresses,pant suits and skirts on.Nothing like... "Hi Kevin,do you remember me?" and me not matching the name tag with the face is kind of embarrassing...and then come the picture tours of children,grandchilden,pools,pets,yards,dining rooms etc.The drama gig started at 7....me and a few of my buds starting burning joints out in the parking lot by 8.No Mas for me...and my number is unlisted. 1

I wanted to get some satisfaction....all the stuck up girls back in the day who wouldn't go to homecoming with me....well my wife is hotter, and thinner than all of them. sweet revenge 1 2
Bad Things Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I so happened to be back in the States last year and wound up going back to NY for my 30th reunion. It was awesome! I couldn't believe all the old friends that showed up for that.

I saw perhaps a dozen between the lone reunion and chance encounters which mostly occurred during our 30's. They all pretty much got better looking. I was amazed at what 15 additional pounds in the right places did for one.
