Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
I've returned home several times over the years but other than family at holidays, funerals and weddings I never see anyone I recognize. Saw one guy last time who looked familiar but I could also tell he wasn't somebody I would want to converse with. I've never tried the high school reunion thing, got an invite like 10 or 15 years ago and it was going to be in New Jersey for fuck sake. Not something I was going to drive 6 or 7 hours for.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 8:07pmHa!

After my school reunion a few weeks ago, all I can say is beware of deep rooted feelings, the past is like a room full of treacle.

Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
There's been only one high school reunion that I know of—my 10th; maybe those involved haven't bothered trying to find me since!—and there was no way I was going. Partly I was in the midst of a massive, traumatic depression, but there really aren't any people from high school I care to see again. I didn't enjoy high school and have no interest in seeing the assholes, and have moved on from the people I hung out with. It's perhaps an odd position for a historian to take, but it's past, leave it there in the garbage can.revbob wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 8:35pmI've returned home several times over the years but other than family at holidays, funerals and weddings I never see anyone I recognize.

Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
Yeah that's pretty much me. I was an outsider among outsiders and misfits in high school so I doubt many would remember me other than being that really tall guy.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 9:02pmThere's been only one high school reunion that I know of—my 10th; maybe those involved haven't bothered trying to find me since!—and there was no way I was going.

Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
Fuck school reunions. My school was violent shit hole and most of the people in it I never wanted to see them let alone now 37 years later.
Having said that I am in close contact with my gang who I have been mates with since I was 11 (some even longer) plus the Rude Girl gang we hung out with from 13 -18 (through the 2 Tone years) although they didn’t go to our school.

Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
I'm still close with anyone I care to see from school. If anyone else was worth it, I'd still be seeing them.

Re: The BitterHoyston Review thread
I feel like Facebook easily gives people what they really want out of these reunions: a peek into who got fat and bald.
I honestly cannot remember the names of 90% of the people I went to high school with and can’t be bothered to care about them.

I hated high school & couldn't wait to get away & get on with life. I haven't seen anyone HS in person since the day I graduated in 1982.

Ahh glorious thread drift. This has to be one of the quickest transformations. Shitty songs to shitty high school. There's at least an underlying theme.
