See, IMO, the best thing about going to a reunion is the people you barely knew. It's fun to discover interesting people who share a big four-year chunk of your life whiom you never noticed due to the blinders of youth. I already stay in touch with the few people I liked from back then and don't need to go to a reunion to do that--the reunion is to go meet the people I passed in the hallway and didn't talk to because we ran in differing orbits who have grown up to have lives as varied and interesting as my own.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I liked my 10 year and I hung out with all my guy friends wives. It was much fun to hear about their families and the wives liked the stories I told.
t petty It was also fun to watch the popular girls get drunk, act like fools, and looking at them in pity. t /petty

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd even like to go to my Jamaican high school reunion, and I was only there when I was 11 and 12. My mother keeps me a bit up to date on them, though, as well as some of the kids I went to grade school with.

Does she do that pointedly telling you who got married and has kids thing?
Mine used to do that.
Show me engagement announcements of old boyfriends in the papers.

Oddly, no. Which, really, since she can pointedly make the weather about my single childlessness is quite weird indeed. Or maybe it's just too obvious for her, and she wants to keep me on my toes.

Say it ain't so! I'd hope that if I managed to pop one out, the mother's union rules would mean she'd have to stop.
But I guess they can't tell you that, or you might not bother having the first once, since it's only a nudge-nudge-nag reprieve, not an end to it.

I think grandkids are like tatoos and chips.
You can't have just one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
They're good with dip too.
Especially the toes.
