Remember that AF chick that asked Tebow out? I went to school with her.
That's the most recent thing. A string of suicides since I've graduated. A handful of fatalities.
Deleted my Facebook a while back so I have no idea what most folks are up to.
Played football with a couple of folks who played/playing college ball at decent schools. One Olympic Gold medalist in bobsledding that graduated two years before me.
The suicide thing is really the most surprising to me.
Three or four since 08. I knew every one and I have to say that I never saw it coming.
I had classes with them all at one point or another and always got along pretty well.
I never knew what they were dealing with but I feel awful for everybody involved.
1 was completely out of the blue for everyone, but the other was like, ehhhhhhhhh i can see that.
A friend of mine died of lung cancer a while back. Nothing else really notable, a few people are having kids, some have started careers, the usual. Only been six years though.
One person got caught in a failed drive by, another ended up on American Idol. My personal favorite is the guy sitting in jail for pulling a gun on somebody because "He was looking at me funny"

Another clown related crime. When will we learn to respect these noble yet disturbing creatures?

That shit used to be a thing in the 90s. People would always be getting into fights and the sole reason for it was "he was looking at me"
I have no idea about most of my high school friends (3.5 years ago). One of them went to school in New York City and got an internship thing with Martin Scorsese. That was neat.
A few people go to school with me, we probably graduate around the same time. Kinda strange how I haven't kept up with them, if I just messaged them we could probably be friends again. Maybe. I'm almost done with school and if I move far away it might not be worth it.
Some really tall guy from the next class just never woke up in his sleep one day, heard from my friend that apparently this is a pretty common thing for tall people
Someone broke in the night after prom the year I graduated and took a dump in the vents. I'd say they gave the building a good fucking, and the police were not very happy.
And of course we all got to listen to another round of endless principal wisdom and chastising.

I'm not sure if there's anyone noteworthy that I went to school with. I haven't really been in contact with any of my old friends, and all I know about my other classmates is that some of them got kinda fat and/or had a kid not long after graduating.
High school was a pretty awful part of my life, so I don't think I'll ever go to a reunion. Maybe if I was really successful or famous or something I'd consider it, just so I could rub it in everyone's faces.

If I were to go to anything related to my high school, it would be to see some of my old teachers and the people I volunteered with in the special education room working with mentally disabled students. Particularly my old history teacher. They were all nice to work with and talk with and taught me a lot more then just what was in textbooks. And I did beat my one religion teacher in a debate about the role of Christianity in a first contact scenario.
I have no desire to see hardly any of my former classmates; equal parts apathy and disgust. For some reason my Catholic high school was just a font of retards who enjoyed sledding down stairs in cardboard boxes, bullying others, and perpetually filling the bathrooms with wet toilet paper stalagmites. Only genuinely entertaining thing we ever did was rig up the TV in the cafeteria with a N64 and play Smash Bros and shoot the shit about Death Note.
Not to mention the most compelling feature of a good Catholic education; mandatory regular auditorium sessions about various important issues such as Pro-Life agendas and how great being a Catholic priest would be.
Think I'll pass on any possible reunions.

People who become rich and successful don't go to their reunion because they don't give a shit what any of those people think any more.
The only people who go to show off their success are like, local news anchors.
I'm not going because I don't even know who those people are anymore and I care about their success in life just as much as anyone else I've passed on the street.
Actually, scratch that. The length was awful, but commencement itself was actually kind of cool, because in practices and things everyone was sort of just chatting and joking around with everyone. It was like we realized that high school didn't matter anymore, so there was no need for the sort of divides there had been.
I actually really loved high school in my last year. I kind of miss it.

FFOnce Upon a TimeIn OaklandRegistered Userregular
10 year came and went, uh...back in 2008. As far as I'm aware nobody I know has done anything of note. I'm pretty sure there wasn't even much of a 10 year gathering.
I did find out at a random party a couple years back that there was a great rumor floating around about my brother and I going off to serve in the IDF and getting killed in action.
Boy were there some surprised people at that party.
Oh now I feel bad it took me almost ten minutes to remember the guy that sat near me in a few classes died, but that wasn't even long after graduation.

One of my friends in high school got stabbed.
Like right there in the cafeteria at lunch time.

As far as I could gather back when I hadn't purged my Facebook my class spread across the country with great haste. I was only in contact with a few of them in college and even that flew out the window when I moved to Tennessee (whyyyy). Apparently northwest pa is a little tame for all our tastes.

Oh no two of them are getting married to each other and I am invited to the engagement party what should my excuse to not go be?!
Sold me a magic card once
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
And another who was a year below me is regarded as one of the best beatboxers in the world.
And one of my brother's best buds in highschool is now a professional soccer player who has played for the Australian national team
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Also I'm not sure it counts but there was a bomb threat senior year and I knew the kid who turned himself in for it. That was something.
nothing to do down there but fuck or get high
pretty sure that's illegal
technically there could be grand parents among the people I went to high school with.
He was kind of a piece of shit
Coran Attack!
Look, that's great, but I don't need or want to bs bombarded by pics or status updates.

many of them are in an academic vortex
i recommend the 10 year reunion. i was drinking and talking for twelve hours straight with people i probably never shared a word with before
i only keep in touch with a couple of people from my class anyway
my school was really small, my class had 30 people, out of 34? graduate
that was my whole class
Commencement was terrible.
mind you that was only five years ago and nobody's really left town
a bunch of people went down to melbourne but since that's the only place anyone goes they all keep in touch and so i keep in touch via them
anyway they're all fucking champs, i went to a good high school
I actually really loved high school in my last year. I kind of miss it.

(Re)introducing yourself and your brother to a small group of people that thought you were both dead: Priceless.
Like right there in the cafeteria at lunch time.
nobody else I knew back then is noteworthy, that I have heard
mine was about this size
but I knew it would be horseshit so I didn't go
instead I got sloshed in the back of my friend's van
