I just called the girl from my class who's putting together the high school reunion (or, apparently, the small dinner party considering the response at this point) and somehow stumbled my way into helping.

Dude, I've got ten bucks that says no one I was friends with in high school even bothers to show up. *headsmack*

This should be amusing, though, considering I was an acne-prone, badly-coiffed wallflower, and now ... not so much. ;)

Should I actually go to my next class reunion, at least one of my friends will have to go with me (his wife & I have plotted to tie him up & throw him in the back of the car should he resist) as I'll be crashing at his place in Victoria that weekend.

chuckles.... er... oops?

Well, the way she made it sound, there can't be much help involved. If they didn't get much of a response and there were only sixty people in our graduating class, "help" might involve washing dishes or something. Which, if that's the case, I'll be more than willing to do.

Honestly, if I had any brains at all, I'd just say, "Invite everybody up to my parents's place on Friday night," because that's the day of the fireworks during Old Home Week, which go off at the park right across the street from the house. They throw a huge party every year for it, too. If they're willing to chip in a few bucks for extra shrimp and wings, I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind.

Chuckles... why not? Surely it couldnt hurt to suggest such a thing and it wouldnt be the first time such a party was thrown that way.

I may do that, but first I have to figure out:

A.) How many people are actually coming.
B.) If my parents would go along.
C.) If they're people I'd want in my house.

I mean, for the most part, I wouldn't have a problem with people in my class coming. When I went to my five-year, everybody was awesomely cool, and if it were those same people, I'd have no problem. But there are a couple of people who I just don't know if I'd want them talking to my relatives (you know, the ones with all of the embarrasing anecdotes about me), drinking from our keg, drinking in general at our house ...

Nods... makes sense... mostly you have to figure out how to spin the party... most reunions can be contyained... it is a social thingie after all...set up rules, have a couple of people tasked with enforcement, and then set it up. as long as the breakable things and impressionable kids are contained elsewhere, either a room upstairs with movies or some such, i should be okay.

er, it should be okay... waps all the typos...

I ended up heading up my high school's 10-year reunion... Heh, I actually had a blast simply because I had never been much of a joiner back in school, and everyone saw me in a new light that night.

i would have absolutely no problem going to my highschool reunion--but all the people who would make it really fun have told me hands-down that they're not going. XD

I don't have a problem, either, but if this is anything like my five-year, only the hot popular people will show up, and all of the guys I had a crush on in high school will be nicer to me than they ever were back then (and it wasn't like they were mean to me back then, either) and there'll be hugging all around and the part of me that's still an introverted fifteen-year-old is going to squeal like a toddler. ;)
