Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And yes, 99.5% of people have gained weight since high school.
Honestly, yeah. It's gonna be hard to find people that are pointing fingers.
The sad thing about my HS reunion was that all the popular guys were the same as they were in HS, and half the girls had become SAHMs. It felt like we weren't taught to, you know, pursue careers.
I am home today. YAY. I got mac to school and was back in bed by 9 an slept until 11:40. More YAY! Now I've lounged around.
I need to get to his school to get a note to his teacher so she'll know I am picking him up today.
Then I need to squash the inner voice that is starting to freak out that I have wasted a day off by not doing a million things.
Everytime this conversation comes up, it prompts me to see if there's any more of an online trace of the one old friend I am curious about & who I have no means of contacting. Surprisingly, there's actually a sign of him! Some postgraduate program in the armed forces in CA and triathalons with his wife. Who we also went to high school with. Huh.
I have a question. Am I the only person who finds Flickr incredibly annoying? Clicking through photos is a pain in the ass, while using slideshow hides the captions. What is it that makes this the photo site of choice for so many people?
You can still have the captions show up during the slideshow. Click the big i that shows up in the middle of the frame at the beginning of the slideshow.
But I say don't go if you don't want to go.
Yeah, absolutely. I had an awesome time at my 10th reunion, could find no reason to go to 15 -- what had changed? Nothing. But it was fun to see who had become respectable and who was still a loser, etc. It also helped (I realize in retrospect) that I was friends with the class president, so the 25% (if that) of our class who went to the reunion covered basically everyone I knew and wondered about and very few other people.
It's easy to upload and organize photos on Flickr. My issues have to do with it using a lot of bandwidth when I'm on dial-up. I usually just give up on looking at photos until I'm on a high speed connection.
My tenth HS reunion was fun, in that it turned out that all of my particular friends had done pretty well, and looked good. It was the popular kids who looked shopworn and grotty. I didn't go to my 20th, because I was not in a good place mental-health-wise. I'd go to my 30th (which should be this year) but I haven't heard word of anything happening....
Ah, fuck. I know I am coming down with the flu. So I thought, ok, I can ride it out until I make this filing on Friday, and then I got the weekend to myself to puke my guts out...then I remembered I'm visiting my parents this weekend to celebrate my mom's graduation. Fuck!

Cool, good to know. I'm just generally not a big fan of using slideshow, so I always get frustrated that there isn't (or at least doesn't seem to be) a simple way of clicking through instead.
