In Which I Realize I Am Getting Old, And You Do Too.

dude the dreamcast was like 01 or earlier
Yeah I'm talking more than just splicing some photos together.

I mean, I have no life because of work and school, and most of the people I want to talk to I have their number or email.
So it works out okay.
I have a hard enough time getting through my day without wasting any more time than I already do, don't need Facebook distractions.
Happy birthday!
My dream is for him to have a cult-like following. Just not a real cult following. That would be bad.
all my friends were younger so I don't think they would be at a reunion. If I had one, it would be next year but I don't see how they could possibly track me down for an invite.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
It really doesn't make sense, because I went to a private school and they gouged my parents' wallets to the nth degree, but they haven't kept track of -any- of their alumni. Even though it's high school I'd imagine a more than significant part of its funding generally should come from alumni, but this school hasn't even tried.
This summer was my 10th year since graduating.
There are times I'm surprised I've survived this long and super long term planning is not really a thing I do.
But then I'd have to go back to Indiana. And also reveal that I'm still struggling my way through a bachelors almost a decade after graduating and live with my parents
1971 was a very good year.
Like I said I find it rather interesting to know the stigma of still living with one's parents has faded for the most part with a quiet understanding nod.
9/11 holds both the day I got really drunk the night before and had to get onto a plane while drunk sliding into a hangover while dealing with all the stuff going on around me.
That's part of the reason I really don't drink anymore.
When it was the 10th anniversary of it and I was telling the people I work with how surreal that day was for me it seemed like a whole different life for me.
But it still was really weird to see the number of people calling wives or girlfriends from Hawaii or the ships to say good bye that week.
Actually I guess I already realized that.

it was definitely around in '99
I know this because I distinctly remember clearing the lost world level in sonic adventures to inaugurate the new millennium
I looked up at the time and thought
oh
y2k didn't happen
Ah, the signs of aging.
I know because of the lack of time and items it makes it hard at times but seeing what happened to my father after he threw out his back and blew out his knees there was no way I could avoid it
For the same reason, I don't really get nostalgic. Thanks to the internet, most stuff I liked as a child is still around if I need it, so reminiscing is more along the lines of, "wasn't it awful that we couldn't do x as a kid?"
Case in point: a few weeks ago, my friends and I were talking about the old Mighty Max toys. We were then able to watch the cartoon as it was all on Youtube at one point and I had ripped it to my hard drive. It's still a great show, for the record, and now I can watch it any time I like instead of hoping it was on at the same time that I was watching TV.
I'm not going to feel like a proper grownup until I move out of the city I went to university in, which is a fucking scary proposition as it means completely uprooting my social and professional life for the sake of my future wife and family, like come kind of responsible adult. I've got a decent job now so I'll probably be able to get a decentish job eventually, but I still feel like when I first graduated and had no experience or knowledge of business and had to work in a crappy call centre for minimum wage.
Haven't decided whether to go or not
I'll hopefully be presenting as a different gender then, and while my classmates were mostly cool, it's Appalachia. There are shitheels
All the people I give a fuck about I have kept up with, those I don't have either died or done the typical small town thing and ended up married with a family but stuck in said shitty town, been in and out of jail on various minor things like drugs or burglary, or had multiple kids with multiple partners.
Like my class was 70 large, so everyone knew everyone
Not even three years after graduation we'd already lost two
I don't know if my class had a reunion, but it would have been 10 years in 2007.

Mine was Totally Krossed Out.
Chris "I'd like you to have a seat over here" henssen would think otherwise.
Mine was 2 weeks ago. Apparently only like 50 people showed up (I wasn't there), out of a class of 450+. And I think a vast majority of them live in the area.
My wife's reunion is over Labor Day, but we live much further away now. It's a bit of a bummer, because I think my wife would like to go back since during high school she spent most of her time getting high and most of her teachers probably thought she wouldn't amount to anything, but now she's assistant manager of a bank and one of the top bankers in the area.
You are a whole new person to me.
