That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My 20th was last month. Didn't go.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Can't go to reunions. School too small and too close to where I live.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My 20th is a week before my due date. I was totally planning to go when I got the notice, but that's looking slightly less likely now.

Actually, now that I think of it, even though I wouldn't go.... my 15th should have been this summer. Hmmm....

My 20th is this year, too. I threw the notice in the recycling, having determined long ago that I've kept in touch with the people I care about and the rest of them can rot in hell.

I went to high school with a bunch of apathetic people (of which I am one, in this case). We had a 20th but no 25th and no 30th. No one wanted to be the sucker to organize it, because it's like herding cats on catnip. Our 20th was interesting though and sorta fun, most of the popular people actually ended up being nice and not snooty like they were in school. At the time our class president (voted most likely to succeed) was a driver for UPS. Alnd the person voted shyest ended up at the CIA as an assistant director.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't particularly dislike anyone in my year at school. And I had a good time there.

Now I want to google everyone, but it seems that people in the UK have less of a web footprint than the people I met in North America once I'd left.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My 25th was this year. I've never been to one, and I doubt I'll ever go. I didn't care what they were doing then, and I still don't. Although, let's see, I know one got married and had kids (wow, that was a shocker, too, lemme tell you... (no it wasn't)), and one took over his daddy's insurance biz, and the two sweethearts got married and had kids (wow) and he took over his daddy's something biz... Yeah, I don't care. I sometimes wonder about a couple of them, but I don't even care enough to Google them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My mom and my OBC graduated the same year. My om has always been involved with the planning, being the pretty, popular, well-liked, cheerleader that she was/is. Well, he never bothered to show his face after the 10th year reunion until their 30th year reunion. Which happened to be held on my birthday that year. Now, he has never acknowledged me in public, but everyone at that reunion knows he's my OBC. He and my mom chatted for a bit, but he never asked about me. My mom said that if she had been drunk enough, she would have sauntered over and said, "I know where you were 29 years ago today. I wonder if you remember?"

BWAH.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My 20th would have been this year if anyone had organized it. I'd go, but I'm not interested enough to do the heavy lifting. Probably how everyone else feels.
