Subject: RE: Advice: High School Reunions. Worth it?
Rick, you have to go because otherwise, you'll be wondering what the hell you missed. Bring your guitar.

I've only been to a 10th year reunion - if they had others, I never heard. Secretly checking out others? SECRETLY?!?! I went hoping that all the pretty girls had gone downhill since then, and was disappointed. Funny though, I had very nice conversations with people I thought were stuck up all through high school. Maybe they changed, or maybe they never were that way to begin with. I remembered a conversation I'd had during a class project with a girl who was a cheerleader. She said people thought if she was a cheerleader, she must be a snob, and ignored her. Until then, I'd never seen that the people I thought were snooty were snubbed by people (like me) who thought we were so down to earth. The reunion was a learning experience like that - you can get to know people when the hormones and insecurities aren't in control.
