I was disappointed because:
1. Some people I wanted to see didn't attend.
2. Some people who were popular in school were just as shallow and rude as adults
3. People seemed to go out of their way to impress each other with their money, status, trophy spouse, whatever.
I got the little book they put together with people's names and addresses in it and then looked up the people I wanted to see. That's how I have done it ever since; I get together with the folks that still live in DFW, and see the other friends when I am near their homes out of state. Reunions, in my opinion, are a scam. |
That's the answer I wanted to hear really.
$250????!!!!!! FUUUUUUUCK that.
Most of the people I was friends with back then are still friends... and most were either a year older or a year younger, so they won't be there anyway.
And most of the people I went to school with left for college right after. I went into radio and a year after high school I was working as a DJ at one of the top rock stations in the US. All these people came back from college and had no clue what they wanted to do with their lives, while I had my dream job. Then I picked up and went to live in the islands for 6 years and came back to the same radio station. Sure, most of them probably make a ton of more money than I do, but I guarantee I have lived a much more fulfilling life... and I still do to this day.
Decisions... decisions...
I guess the whole cost thing will be the deciding factor.
