I just watched a video about the Raclette restaurant in NYC that melts cheese off a cheese wheel and scrapes it onto food and I'm wondering if I'll ever find somebody who makes me feel the way I feel when I look at a glob of morbier oozing onto a plate of potatoes
My 10 year reunion was organised by one of the most obnoxious and self-important assholes of our year.
Around 90% of folks apologised and declined the invitation and yet he still went ahead with plans and even booked and paid for the venue in advance.
When the event was an obvious failure, he went on a big rant on the facebook group for it about how much work went into it and how we are all so selfish and should be more appreciative of hard working people like him going out of their way to provide for us.
Five years later and it turns out he's an incredibly racist alt-right piece of trash, so I guess that checks out.
and I don't know how many people actually attended but I think it was less than that
This sounds like my 10-year reunion! 8 months out, there was a dedicated group of organizers, then around 5 months out just about all the news of the event stopped, then at a few weeks out the main person spearheading the campaign stopped answering and I'm not sure it ever even happened. Either way I was on business travel at the time and I liked maybe five people from my class in the first place, none of whom would be there.

It might already clash with an annual float Im a part of called the Drunken Armada.
A brief story of my second attendance on the drunk armada. We used to do it *much* earlier in the year, early spring. And the water was freezing and sometimes it was just awful weather all together. I wasn't planning on going due to a speaking engagement I was doing the day before. Well. I did my engagement, and ran into some friends in the same town who were going. I was then more or less guilt tripped into going and had to quickly buy appropriate clothes. Unfortunately the wrong backpack got brought on the trip. Long story short.
I ended up floating the Buffalo in torrential downpour in a suit.

I am on the planning committee for my ten year high school reunion.
I am the silent, behind-the-scenes member of the committee who, as per usual, has to act like Sam the Eagle and shoot down everyone's horribly impractical & frankly shitty ideas.
For example: The members of the committee legitimately wanted to hold our reunion at the diner in our home town. The diner with no real parking area and too small an area for a large group of people. So I had to squash that idea into the ground. Now we're holding our reunion at a brewery near the beach.

I don't believe any of this. But the bold part especially.
My 10 year high school reunion was perfect. We didn't have one.
I don't remember which it was, probably the 10th, but one of mine was cancelled due to lack of interest.
Of course, the same thing happened to one of the Proms (Junior?) when I was actually attending, so there's a track record of my class just not giving a fuck.

I know it generally goes against my very outgoing persona, but yeah I typically act as the quiet planner when it comes to organizing activities.

There's a slim but unlikely possibility that neither myself nor the, like, two classmates I care about keeping in touch with were invited, but either way I'm fine with it.

Yeah the fact I was even invited here is probably the most shocking thing to me.
I never went to my 10 year reunion
I went to my girlfriend of the time's one and felt so awkward as I knew nothing about them or who it was a awkward 4 hours
I got back on my old add meds you guys. It is nice having less side effects and more focus again. Still not quite up to 100 percent though. I think I might be able to start getting things done when the weather swings again though as my mood will probably catch up with my focus.
Still getting stressed out about it though. My girlfriend helped me buy them and I feel really bad about it.
At least I got an application to hopefully get patient assistance for them.
And I need to change my pharmacy which is giving me anxiety

I missed my 10-year reunion, because they held it right after my term had started in grad school, and I wasn't going to delay that just to attend a party I really didn't want to go to anyway.
I think, for our generation, these reunions are not really held with such esteem because of the rise of social media, specifically facebook. Like, I'm facebook friends with all the people from my class that I actually want to keep track of, so why do we all need to be in one place? It'd just be a bunch of people I probably don't know or don't want to know.
My facebook is a fake name and I am not really that serious about it
I only use it for news from companies I follow because they got lazy with social media
I really have no idea who I went to school with then is on facebook nor do I want to be creepy and look them up to friend them
My 10 year was back in November
It was a complete waste of time
There's all of one person from that class I give a shit about and we see each other every couple months anyway independent of a reunion
Spent the weekend with the girl from CMB. On Saturday I took her up some relatively unused trails up in Malibu that I hadn't been on in a year and then we walked around Santa Monica. She stayed over and Sunday morning on her birthday I decided I wanted to hold onto this girl and said I'd like to be her boyfriend. We then made out a lot and I guess I'm off the market now.

I have told the reunion committees for both my high school and my college that I am dead. They subsequently stopped calling and asking for donations.

buuuuuut the 10 year one sucked so much, I won't be going to this one!

I feel like total dogshit right now

Oh shit my 10 year reunion was like 5 years ago... hmm.. oh well!
You're in luck, lotta places do a 15 year.
nah the message on the alumni page was "see you at the 20!"
It was a complete waste of time
There's all of one person from that class I give a shit about and we see each other every couple months anyway independent of a reunion
More of you folks should have thought about that and dropped out like me. 8-)
An organised reunion sounds like my idea of hell
I got an ad? from an user about getting a mail order bride
Seriously I am done that was it
I was awkward enough around those people when I saw them every day, I can't imagine what it would be like after a 10 year gap.
And by dead I mean married with kids or whatever.
Most of the graduating classes are under 50
My class was under 30
I'm not sure if i will go
The woman I went on three dates and fell for really hard and then she just wasn't that into me was from high school, as was my ex wife
