I'm pretty much sure I'm not going to my 10-year. But I'll go to the one after that.

Enough distance at that point?

Yeah--and maybe I'll want to see the people then. Like, right now, I still dislike or am ambivalent about most of my classmates. The ones I liked I stayed in touch with. There are only maybe two that I wish I knew what happened to them.

The rest, from what I stalked on myspace, are freaky born again hardcore xtians, mothers of two, disgustingly lovey-dovey and married, etc. I have no desire to see any of them.

Gotcha. I feel pretty much the same way.

Christ, is it that time already? I'm going to Whitman's 5 year (6 year for us) reunion. Haven't even thought about Inglemoor. Do we even a have a 10 year reunion?

Oh, I don't know. I haven't received anything. But it came up over here. I pretty much know many of my friends aren't interested, or are in the "I'll go if you go" camp, but I'm curious about everyone else.

For the record, I've migrated from "I'll go if I've done something interesting/I'll go if you go" to "I'll be there if--and only if--I'm dead, and my corpse is somehow dragged there despite my last wishes."

I'd be more interested in a college reunion, but the way things work at Evergreen I never felt like I was in a "class". I don't even know if Evergreen does reunions.

There are a few people I'm curious about (Adrienne, Anna, Kathy) but 2 of the 3 I could track down pretty easily.

Well, I'm pretty sure Kathy and Brian had a baby (and I'll let this icon assuage my need to say anything more). And I have Adi's e-mail if you want it.

1. I didn't graduate.

2. Last time I was in town for any length of time, I found out that rumors were *still* circulating the bars (since we were now old enough to drink) about me, even though I hadn't lived in that town in 5 years.

3. I already found everyone I thought I wanted to talk to again on Myspace, and I was wrong about most of them. I don't miss them, and we have nothing in common. The few I do need to hang onto, I know how to get ahold of.

My 10th reunion was in 2006. Maybe I'll feel differently in 8 more years. Probably not.

All reasonable answers, to be sure.

I think that's the main thing for me.

Hell yeah! K's in for sure. Maybe we'll be having a big par-tay this summer.

Uh...not really. I mean, not enough to suffer through it.

And yeah. I really wasn't fond of most of those people, or high school in general, so I don't feel any yearning to dredge it up in a hotel banquet room.
