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?

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.
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.
Here's why I like flickr. My new cowboy boots (I have them in black too!) via my cell phone. [link]
I live thirty five miles (and the Hudson) away from my hometown. If I wanted to hang out with those people I'd already be doing that.
Unless I win an Oscar, then I'm goin.
