I liked highschool, but with the advent of facebook I already keep in touch with most people I want to. AND the ones who don't use FB and I would want to see, are also the least likely to show up to any reunion.
So even if I happened to be in my home town, I probably wouldn't go - I'm certainly not going to travel for it.
Naw it is just most people have done something with themselves by 30.
I've managed to piss away three decades.
HA!
not at all
I'd argue that the only worthwhile thing I've done with my life is have kids, because they're pretty good kids
otherwise... Eh, I'm a cog in a corporate machine, and I while away my free time with video games. Nothing to write home about.
Raising good kids is a worthy thing to do with your life. It's not, as some people would have you believe, the only worthy thing to do with your life, nor does it have to be the only worthy thing you do with your life, but it can be.

Me too. I basically removed my toxic family completely from my life and will die alone but dammit that was an accomplishment. I have a job, I'm not a drunk and I have my own place to live. My keetooms are the best. I win.
My metrics for 'accomplishment' are likely pretty skewed, yeah. I mean, I'm certainly not unhappy right now, but I guess I wouldn't consider myself a success, whatever that actually means.

I'm not too worried about the accomplishment angle. I mean I'll be the only one there without a budding family or own a house, but I pretty much draw for a living. So I'm going to be taken literally as seriously as I normally am, which is not at all. The conversation would go exactly as such.
"Hey Gus. Still drawing?"
"Yup."
"Whelp good, now we just need to find a bigger locker"
Yeah sure from the perspective of got a regular job, bought my little flat etc, not that much of a big deal
From the perspective of how I am socially, both in terms of my feelings and dealing with social situations, and in terms of self-esteem, respect for others, being able to articulate myself? I've come on massively from when I was younger. Leaps and bounds. And I might just be where most people are, probably, but given where I started, that doesn't mean I can't be proud of making a concerted effort to change certain things about myself and managing to do it. I mean I have a long way to do and I've still got plenty of stuff to sort out, but yeah I say forget what society says is successful. Do what makes you feel successful. And that doesn't mean don't do things that society views as successful, if that's what you want to do! But there are varying forms of riches, is all I am saying.
I'm closer to my high-school graduation than my 10-year reunion.
Yall're old.
Already past my 20-year reunion. If we had one, I'd be past my 25-year.
Get off my lawn.
Chromdom, you paid me to cut your lawn for you because your joints were acting up.
Did you forget?
Hah! Got you! I don't have a mowable lawn!
Chromdom I'm worried about you.
I'm mowing it right now!
Look, I'm waving at you!
You just closed the blinds for some reason?
if he can't see you mowing his non existent lawn maybe you're just really bad at it
kids these days
My lawn is about 18 inches on one side by about 24 inches on the other. If you mow it, you are catastrophically over doing it. I suggest you get out of that nice man's yard before he calls the police.
In the sense that if are Tove Lo then you can definitely get away with looking like you just spend the last 48 hours getting high, drunk, having lots of sex and staring into the middle distance while smoking a post-coital fag at 6am, and then not showering because fuck that, yeah
But there is a school of thought that says if you are Tove Lo or somesuch then you get access to a lot of aesthetics that us mere mortals sort of shouldn't really try

Now then, where's my oatmeal?
Don't remind me
:bro:
Yeah. I've mostly come to terms with it. I need to expand my dating pool to half the continental US I think.
Time to move to Florida and play shuffleboard i guess.
Once I'm actually relaxed enough to sleep, my sleeping pill works pretty well
Is that vaguely crusty hungover look still in fashion?
Kinda, yeah
But there is a school of thought that says if you are Tove Lo or somesuch then you get access to a lot of aesthetics that us mere mortals sort of shouldn't really try
anyway

Yeah
I'm not Tove Lo
And I are too much dinner to drink enough cheap swill beer to get proper buzzed
My crush is just a human, she's not actually a beautiful ghost dream woman
I can do this
Maybe we should all become very attractive depressed Swedish 20-somethings having lots of sex
I could live with that
I don't know, let's not rule out some kind of Mannequin situation just yet.

Sign me the hell up
Who is Tove Lo?
She's also very pretty, and totally my type, so I'd really like to take her on a date if that's cool

Well the depressed 20-something part does but "having lots of sex" doesn't really track.
Sounds like something that would happen in various parts of the more backwater planets, yeah
Let me tell you about Max Rebo and the Sy Snootles Band
No need, friend.
I'm quite knowledgeable about jizz.

Hey haha
She's definitely real, I've had several conversations with her
And I made it through two of them without stammering
Tomorrow though, I'm going to ask her to get some coffee
Hahaha that's a real thing that happened ahahahahahaha *cocks gun*
"...after being violently struck down during a concert by a deranged jizz fan, Max Rebo became more famous than anyone could have ever imagined..."
