I keep in touch with one friend from high school. I have sent donations to the h.s. alumni association. I have never yet received an invitation to a reunion, nor yet seen any evidence that they actually hold such. I stopped getting the highly sporadic alumni newsletters about 5 moves ago.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Also? I think I have a job. That wasn't so much an interview as being talked at for a couple hours by the manager, and all the clients. As one client asked me to come with her to her Special Olympics track and field practice tonight, and I fixed up another's (non-existent) papercut by running her hand under cool water, and the manager told me to call the main office in the morning to find out where they could get me some hours between now and when the guy I'm replacing goes back to the Peace Corps, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Still I think I'll wait till morning to release the ~ma back into the wild.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I got roofied at my 10th. I was there with two of my best friends who realized what was happening and took care of me. I think I will skip the 20th...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
This conversation made me curious, so I checked my HS website, and apparently my ten-year reunion is this weekend. I never got an invitation, and in order to see any details about it online, you need to be registered with an alumnae ID, which I never got. Oh well.

And I was reading on catch-up even thus not getting to play Spin the Drunk meara.
OK, now I'm imagining a fun fun game to play at the drag show...120 drag kings, me in the middle, spinning around...;)
My university has a freaky ability to track down alumni wherever they move. If my school's Living Endowment people had been sic'ced on Osama Bin Laden
Yeah, what's up with that? My high school can't find me, even though my parents live at the exact same address and phone number they always have (and my brother only graduated high school four years ago). But my university has tracked me (phone and mail!) through like, fifteen addresses!
I went to my ten year. None of the 15 or so people that I wanted to know about (out of a class of 500) was there, but I DID find out about Jared the Subway guy. And that made it...well, not all worthwhile, but at least an amusing story!
so I checked my HS website, and apparently my ten-year reunion is this weekend.
Huh. I wonder if R is going. She didn't mention it when we were talking the other night.

Cass wins.
Or, um, looses.

My 10th was last year; I received a lot of calls and e-mails about it, but there was just no way I am going. If I want to see the people I went to high school with, I can drive 15 minutes back to my hometown to see everyone, because no one ever seems to leave.
