Most of the people I went to school with were douche canoes that I have no interest in and honestly cannot even remember their names or faces anymore. I think every reunion for my class has been cancelled due to lack of attendance but I only catch that news second hand from the few cool people I talk to on Facebook.

I only went to my 10 year so I could subtly gloat that I hadn't gotten too fat, didn't have any kids out of wedlock, and didn't have any DUIs or felony convictions.

It was also nice to see that some people I'd written off as gently caress ups ended up getting their lives together and turned into some really cool people. :gbsmith:

I've never returned to my high school town except to see immediate family, mostly after medical issues. All the HS people I care about moved to the coasts or various southern or northern cities. Or died.

Aha. Nice post.



The class president and 20th organizer ate his gun the week before our 20th. It was so typical. His dad died leaving a ton of debts, he was a lawyer dealing coke to try to make it back(supposedly), and the Feds got him all kind of indicted. He had married a real sweetie from our class too, and left her and twins to face the music.

My 10 year is in a couple months. I won't be attending. I kept in touch with the few worth talking to, and don't really care what anyone else is up to. My hometown is a nice place so you can't really fault people for not leaving.

I've got a really good memory which makes it really easy to hold a grudge. A lot of the friends I had in high school were idiots that I don't miss. If I could do it over I'd have run cross country instead of doing JROTC poo poo.

10 year came and went. Didn't give a poo poo. Got all the details of who died/is a crackhead/pumped out kids and got fat from a guy I knew since elementary school, when we happened to be working on the same construction site together for a bit. Small-ish town, so most of us grew up together from elementary through high school.

A guy in my grade, who I knew a little bit, fell asleep at the wheel and got in a terrible wreck that almost killed him. He was pulled from a burning vehicle and afterward, supposedly, they couldn't figure out how anyone opened his door. Ergo, Jesus. After a couple questions from the student body about how this changed his life (jesus), someone was like "what about all the people that die" and then it was classic "we're out of time, back to class" mode.

The only semi-famous person I knew from my school was a second-rate NFL player that bounced around the league for a handful of years before dropping away. Turns out the model on Let's Make a Deal was two classes behind me, though.

Edit: A friend at our rival HS died in a blackhawk crash as part of CTF-B. First active duty funeral I attended (shortly before I joined), and the moment that I learned Taps is usually a loving recording while someone pretends to play a bugle.

I went to my 10 (ex got faaaaaat), went to my 20 (ex lost the weight was actually skinnier than high school).

I enjoyed them both. One of the footballers became a lawyer and footed the open bar bill so that was nice. He's still a douche but a big hearted one at least.

We didn't have a cool guest speaker like everyone else. One of my classmates, a star football player with multiple scholarship offers for full rides, got killed holding up a liquor store. Same store he hit twice prior.
About ten percent of the chicks in my graduating class became strippers, and like 40% of the overall class ended up with pill/opiod/heroin problems. Some kid I graduated with (but didn't know) has stolen several classmates phones. Just from the pics he posts to Facebook you can see he is doped out, but morons keep lending him their phones, "to call my ride real quick".

I have also skipped every reunion and just realized I graduated 15 years ago. gently caress.

Also we had some dude who got a silver star for like jumping on a grenade and covering it with his helmet or something. He told an entire auditorium of middle and high schoolers about having to double tap wounded drugged up Iraqi insurgents. I wish I could remember his name, I'm pretty sure he had written a book about his experiences. It sounds like something I loving dreamed up in retrospect but I'm 95% sure I'm remembering it correctly.

So, hypothetical here. My 10 year is coming up next year. I moved out the summer I graduated. Wasn't part of the church, so I ain't got that bulletin board to look up. I vaguely remember the name of class president. The only folks on my friends lists are the ones who never did a fb purge.

Several of my classmates went on to become famous in a pop punk band that's far more popular than I realized. One was on Survivor. A few are professional actors with varying levels of success.

And then there's a pretty classic tale of high school death where one kid died early in junior year from a car accident. He was the passenger and was ejected through the windshield. The guy driving made it through without serious injury. He wasn't the same dude after that.

And then a nice, quiet girl who I remember being a really decent human being killed herself while I was in basic training.

The school I went to in Florida has only had 10 or so deaths out of 375. Most have been the typical dui/overdose/suicide. One was a girl who got caught with ecstasy in college and the police flipped her to be an informant. The geniuses in Tallahassee PD decided this little red headed Jewish girl should try to buy pounds of coke and automatic weapons from the local drug kingpin as her first job. They found her murdered a few counties over.
