    I'm coming up on my 10 year high school reunion. I really don't want to go, does that make me a bad person? I talk to a few friends I went to school with still, but other than that, I could care less what the rest of my class is doing.

    I have a great job and just recently married a beautiful girl, so it's not like I don't want to go because I have nothing to show... I just really don't care.

    I feel like reunions are filled with pointless small talk and awkward moments.

    Anyone been to theirs recently?

    How does not wanting to go make you a bad person? Don't go if you dont want to. Most people there, I would imagine, spend the evening boasting and talking about nonsense.

    I can see myself going though for the sole purpose of seeing how some girls from HS have turned out so far. (in looks). But other than that, I could care less.

    I was being sarcastic about being a bad person. I know it obviously doesn't make me 'good' or 'bad' either way.

    But I agree with your assumption. I hate bragging about myself, so I'll end up listening to some other tool talk about how awesome they are.

    Just look them up on facebook. Pretty frightening after you get into your 30's or older.

    Mine is scheduled next week. I'm debating but leaning towards no. Facebook has ruined most mystery out there. I just see awkward conversations and talking to people I really don't even know. I talk to like 3 people from high school still today and that's fine with me....

    On a side note I started lurking clutchfans when I was a senior in HS and just noticed it's been 10 years since I registered now that makes me feel much older than a 10 year high school reunion :grin:

    Not looking forward to mine. I graduated a year early so I don't really know my graduating class. The few that I know probably aren't coming. My 10 year should be next year and I'm probably going to skip it.

    Truth be told, I don't really have much to boast about. I'm unmarried, I've been hopping around many different jobs since graduating... nothing stable.

    I was planning on going to both my 10 and 20 but it didn't work out. Probably would have been fun but I do already keep in contact with a bunch of friends from high school.

    I could see myself going to it prefacebook. But since fb, I've been in contact with anyone I would have enjoyed catching up with since high school.

    My ten is this year. It was organized entirely on FB. I refuse to sign up for FB and hence wasn't invited - which is more then fine by me.

    It's better than staying home, if you have no electricity and no internet connectivity at home.

    The wife is making me go as we both graduated the same year, same school. I really don't care to but I plan on going with one of my best friends from high school. At least it's at the Roak on Kirby, about 3 minutes from my house if I wanna bail.

    I skipped my 10 and had a gig the night of my 20th. Whatever. I still keep in touch with the few people I actually liked in high school, so I don't think I missed anything. I didn't have a lot of friends in my class anyway. Most of my friends were a year older or a year younger than me so I'd probably have more fun at a different class reunion.

    What I do find pathetic is the people who LIVE for these things. Everything about them screams "the best years of my life were in high school" and that is really kind of sad.
