Update required! ;)
Sixth form re-unions are *very* different to high school ones! I'd go to a sixth form one in a heartbeat because it was the best time ever with some of the most brilliant people and the funniest times. High school... no. Not a chance.
I would love to go to a school reunion ....so many lies to tell....so many egos to pop....I'd even go to someone elses.
We are planning a reunion and trying to locate the old school mates. At first I was feeling a bit insecure about it because I didn't want people to pity me but then realised that they do not pity me, they envy me! To them I am a woman who has lived her life under her own terms and had lots of fun without worrying about doing things the conventional way just because that is what you were supposed to do.
DG, don't worry too much about things, just go and have a laugh - the years will roll back and you'll be giggling with your old school mates till it hurts.
As for meeting Mr Right, you never know where he is ... he might even be in here as we speak!
I do like the idea of gate crashing school reunions.
I think school reunions are precisely that, less a reunion, more a reinvention of the school playground we had as children.
There will be the loudmouth bullies who want to show off everything they've achieved.
There'll be the quiet ones who think nobody is noticing them.
There'll be the nobheads, the nice folk, the quiet group, time will have expanded the waistline, clothing tastes will have changed and you can all say "nob" now without giggling, but in essence you get the same set of rules, only now you have some kind of say in your place within that.
I can see positive and minuses. There's plenty of folk from my days at Uni and school I'd love to see again, others I'd happily use as shark bait.
It's just weighing up whether one is worth more than the other.
earlier i mentioned the rehab re-union.
I've decided to go along this time, first time I will have seen anyone from there in twelve years.
my main reason for going will be to see a certain member of staff who thought I never stood a chance.
maybe have a comedy flan-in-the-face moment before leaving
