Hi, new reader here. I didn't even bother to go to my 10 year because I knew I'd be miserable. I'm not bothering to go to any future reunions either because I don't need to be in a room full of people acting like they are somebody special when I know I turned out pretty well. Sounds mean... but really in the grand scheme of things it's all that matters, right?

Lisa, I went to my 20-year reunion just last August. I was just like you--the odd duck out, didn't really fit in with any one group, always on the weird/arty cusp, friends with all the drama club gays, band, etc. (to make matters worse, I was also president of the freakin DEBATE club). But anyway--I too was like, eh, I'm not going to that stupid reunion! Why bother...but I did go. And I'm glad I went--I had SO much fun, and got back in touch with some people I hadn't seen in YEARS. Childhood friends, people I went to KINDERGARTEN with. It was really a great night, and something I will always remember. You should definitely go. What's the worst that could happen? You have a miserable evening. so what. (OK there's my 2 cents)

I say go! I went to my 20th (HHS no less) - and it was the first one I could bring myself to go to. (For all the same reasons you posted above.) Everyone was puffy - but pretty much the same, and I had some great conversations with folks I hadn't been friendly with since 6th grade. I also had some great conversations with people I never really knew. I even had MORE THAN ONE of my personal tormentors tell my wife I was, "the funniest freakin' kid in school." I was shocked - amazed! "Then why did you make my life a living hell?" I wondered. I've since concluded that their mommies didn't love them. I say go. I had a million laughs and some stimulating chit-chat. And if I weren't married, I know I could have gotten laid. I JUST KNOW IT!!! Jonny
