College Reunions: Classic or Dud?

I don't necessarily mean big events where the bunting is out at the old school and everyone comes back from all over the land to show off their spouses. That sort of thing's strictly for the movies, anyway. Just as valid for thread: limited reunions with a select few people from school / college / university etc - heck, even just going out for a drink with one old classmate, I don't know. Good to go back, or should we be so glad to grow older - to move away from those awful times?

I don't think they serve much use. Just move on. They are only goo d if someone owed you money way back when and its time to collect. Yes, reunions can turn ugly.

Ugly? Tell me more.

I just randomly keep in touch with certain people here and there. It's cool. :-)

Reunions dud. Very weird as well. I know it doesn't make sense but I kind of expected everyone to be as they were when I last saw most of them (17/18/19), and was disappointed to find they were in their early 30's getting, fat, dull and bald.

However I've kept in touch with a couple of guys though and hopefully we'll still be mates when we're getting our pensions at the post office.

My freinds and I once crashed a college reunion of people liek 10 years older than me . I pretended to know people. It wasn't fun.

Nah, watch Romy & Michelle. I used to dream about my HS reunion when I was there. Now I could give a fuck.

R&M's HSR - that's a great picture.

Geez...I guess I meeting with old school friends is nice, but when the conversation turns only to discussing "what do you think happened to...", that's when it gets boring.

I don't think I've seen anyone I went to college or high school in... well, a long time. Kind of hard when you're living in another country. I kinda don't want to see any of them. The last college friend I saw, we planned to go to Scotland together, we fought to the point of never seeing each other again within 4 hours of his landing at Heathrow. So, dud.

Every reunion I've gone to (all two!) has been tons and tons of fun. I guess I'm weird or something. (Or not as misanthropic as I thought I was...)
