cmotherofpirl Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) [quote name='Sojourner' date='Oct 20 2005, 11:08 AM']Did you go to earlier ones? [right][snapback]764886[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No but at least then I entertained the notion. Then I went to a surprise wedding aniversary party and saw many ex-classmates. The ones I didn't like back then I still don't like, and the ones I liked I am still friends with anyway, so why go to a reunion? PS most of the people considered nerds and geeks are the ones who bloomed in college and made successes of themselves.

Theoketos Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Same for me -- I didn't go to either my 5 or 10 year. I've been told I'll eventually want to go back ... but of all the people in my past with whom I'd want to reconnect, my h.s. classmates aren't so much on the list.

[right][snapback]764911[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yep. That's what I've found. The changed circumstances can do a lot to enhance personality characteristics, though, as in the nerds and geeks you referenced. As a card-carrying geek myself, I really came into my own in and after college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 It's only been 3 years since I graduated. My college is in the same town I went to high school with, many of us go here, and I bump into old high school friends often. Also, the ones who are out of town are my facebook friends. Anyone I want to be in touch with, I can be fairly easily, but I don't seem to want to. My bestfriends from high school I talk to rather infrequently. I've changed a lot. To start with I'm Catholic now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Most of my HighSchool friends abandoned me because I was a "fundamentalist" Catholic...I miss them, but not as much as I would miss Christ in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 10-year was just over a year ago. I just think of you as being the same age as me, that's all. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
