This is the day where you say, "You can't possibly be old enough for a 30 year High School Reunion!"

And this is the part where I would have to admit otherwise. It seemed like a good idea when I signed up, not so much at the moment ( Read more... )

"High school reunions" aren't common over here, but the folk in my year decided to do a 25 year reunion when we were about 40 years old. One of us wasn't going to make his 41st birthday (cancer).

Amazing how people you had nothing in common with 25 years ago, you have nothing in common with 25 years later. I will say that the girls had aged better than the guys (one woman you'd have thought she'd sent her daughter - she hadn't changed one iota since we left school, except to become a very senior and wealthy lawyer in London). It was mildly amusing to have all these guys with "sunroofs and spare fuel tanks" (bald spots and beer bellies) who'd been heart-throbs at school approach me and slur "I always fancied you at school" - yeah, you fancied me so much you never spoke to me in the six years we were there, but you dated several of my friends.

It's interesting to know that they are not common there... sarita420 August 9 2007, 20:29:03 UTC

(We've lost two to cancer already--and ours was not a big class to start with.)

The 10 was pretty surreal. It was before I married so I went with my best friend and her hubby. One of the women there--the one who was the cheerleader and the star of any school play--and who hardly paid me any mind while we were in school--came up to the table and talked to me for most of the night like I was her long lost best friend.

While going through my senior yearbook a few days ago, I saw where she signed--that she was so glad she'd gotten to know me and that she was so grateful for the help I'd given her in school. Well, apparently I'd forgotten that, but she obviously hadn't.

I don't think anyone actually "fancied" me in high school. I did have a good male friend with whom I still keep in touch. He's killing me here, though, he's gone off and become a Granddad!
