Class of '99

A few days ago, I got the first news that my 10-year high school reunion is in the works. It was kind of a shock to me -- it's hard to believe it's been that long. I'm pretty sure I'm going to attend, even though high school wasn't exactly the best four years of my life. In some ways, I think it'll be good for me... I'm still a freak, and possibly still an outcast, but at least now I'm comfortable in my own skin.

Mostly, I'm going to go my reunion because I'm nosy. I'm curious to see what my classmates are like these days, now that we've grown out of our hormone-addled adolescence. Thanks to MySpace and Facebook, I have a general idea of what a lot them are up to these days, but there are definitely a handful of high school friends who haven't jumped on the social networking bandwagon. Hopefully at least a couple of those folks will show up!

Last year, I went with AB to his 10-year reunion, and I'm afraid that it's spoiled me... His whole class was really close, and AB is still good friends with quite a few of his classmates, so the experience was very different than what I'm expecting from my reunion. It turned out that I had already met a LOT of people from AB's class, so even for me it was like partying with a bunch of old friends, plus some interesting new ones! I guess I've met dozens of IMSA folks over the years, but I don't think I've introduced AB to more than three or four people who went to my high school.

Have any of you attended or skipped your 10-year reunion? If you went, what was it like? :-)
