Thoughts on my Class Reunion~

Recommended Posts

Went back this past weekend to a high school class reunion...

I'd missed a few of the last ones because I was on the other side of the planet when they were held.

As the night progressed a couple thoughts came to mind that I thought were quite poignant.


1) When the alcohol started flowin' the people that were obnoxious pricks in High School reverted back to their old ways.

2) Even though I'm a ripped up wreck, I'm in better shape than 95% of those self loathing couch potatoes I went to school with!~:ph34r:

Sorry I missed you this weekend, man! - I feel like a prick!

I was intending to get there Saturday, but my tent got soaked - so that was a no go. So, when I finally got there Sunday, just passed 13:00 I was fully intending to wait around for you; but after everyone was done jumping I was gonna' wait around the tiki bar - but a short time later - around 21:00 I just felt like complete shit [still getting over the respiratory infection] & decided to leave. Not being able to brethe sucks! B|[:/]

Barely drove the 80 miles back home, & when I finally got here I could hardly get out of the car I was so tired & in the house.

Next time, my friend :)

Yeah, but you got to meet me! B|

'twardo, nice of you to show up when you finally recovered from your reunion. Great to meet both you and Ralffers.

I don't know if my 10 year reunion is coming up in 2012 or 2013. But, I'm debating whether or not I want to go. I had nothing in common with anyone I went to school with and too many of them were, as you put it, "obnoxious pricks."

Maybe I'll just do a demo jump to the reunion, tell everyone to piss off, then leave.

No one would think very highly of me, and it's not the kind of guy I am to do that sort of stuff, but it would be fun :P
Don't forget to pull!

Yes Krisanne, it was very nice to meet you! :) I I looked for you at the bar; would have been cool to talk more....but unfortunately I felt like complete crap & had to get in the car & go, while I still could.

Next year WILL be the year I start jumping!! - s I'm sure I'll catch up with you at a DZ somewhere. ;)B|

I did a demo into my 20th years ago, it was surprising how many guys I went to school with that were 'also skydivers'...:o

What was even MORE shocking was the number of jumps they had, yet never heard of the USPA! :ph34r:;)

That's because they're too cool for an organization that can cramp on their style. ;)

I don't think that 10 is long enough to go back unless
a. you're very successful (or thinner, better-looking, etc) and want people to know it
b. you want to hook up with that guy/girl that you never did when you were there
c. you really enjoyed HS/college and were good at all the social stuff (see "a":P)

I went to my 15th college and it was a snoozer, but the 25th was a stellarly good time. People were comfortable with who they were by that time, and could just have fun.

I went to a 15th (or so) HS reunion too, but the school was different from most, and we had folks from many years. Doesn't count.

I looked at my 40-year-old high school yearbook this week. Hairstyles have changed! :o

There were only three people in my whole graduating class that I would want to see again. :|

I had a blast at my 30-yr class reunion last year. It was my first reunion and it was like we had just graduated the day before. :)



Everybody was drunk, broke & all dressed up? :P


And somewhere under the bleachers in the gym, some chick got knocked up.

WOW! You guys can get it up at that age!
