Our actual percentage of attendees might be even smaller than yours, ND, but with a graduating class of 860, it was still a pretty good-sized party.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had one reunion at a hotel function room, the rest have been at random bars, and hardly anyone goes. Eh!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The only HS reunion I went to was my 10th, and that was only because it was Thanksgiving weekend, and I was still going to my parents' house for the holiday. My 30th was a few years ago. Sometimes I wonder how I got to be over 50, but here I am.

I haven't been to any of my high school reunions, but I'm pretty sure they've been held at a local hotel that is a shithole. I just looked it up on Yelp, and the reviews are just t chef's kiss

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Are everybody's reunions at their actual HS? Mine was at the House of Blues downtown this year.
During the day, there's tours of the school (and, again, the former Forbidden Floors of the convent) and a Mass that I am 100% not going to, lest the Lord strike me dead the moment I walk into the chapel. Then in the evening, our class party is at some bar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I stayed home sick from work with a cold today and just spent the day in bed or on the couch, and I swear to god, my mother's feelings are hurt that I didn't tell her I was here. I am rolling my eyes forever. (To be fair, I think she's mostly upset at her sister? But I 100% do not need that shit.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I haven't been to any of my HS reunions. There's this...thing about me. When pushed by an adoptee friend to search for my birth family, I thought about it for five seconds and said, "The family I have is exhausting enough. Why would I want more family?" A lot of the time I have to push myself to be engaged with the people I know *and love*--why would I want to reconnect with people who barely knew who I was in HS? There's no payoff there, for me. I mean, I wish them well. But come on--I wasn't noticed enough in HS to be bullied or excluded or targeted in any way. They're not missing me, and I feel no impulse to see any of them again.
You guys? I'll reune with you guys anytime I can.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
