I had my 5 year high school reunion over the weekend. Sort of a weird concept actually. I don’t mean reunions in general, just the 5 year variety. I think it’s because 5 years isn’t long enough to lose touch with people any more. For 4 of those 5 years most people were in college, with AIM on 24/7, and free long distance on cell phones, and going home every 2 months. It’s almost like not leaving at all. And what are the odds that your fellow alums actually found jobs right after college and made something of themselves? Pretty slim. So a 5 year reunion isn’t for reuniting with long lost friends. And it’s not to show off what you’ve become. I still hangout with everyone I liked from high school, and that�s the way I likes it. But a reunion piques your curiosity nonetheless, and that’s why I as well as most of my 715 former classmates went.

Well I certainly agree with the general bizarreness of a 5-year reunion in the first place - solid point about everyone being much more connected now too with AIM and everything else.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I know at least with our group of friends, even though none of us went to the same college, it never really felt like anything changed after we graduated, since we were all chatting on IM all the time anyway and returning home on a regular basis.
Additionally, a cold and uncaring X-Bone-Mas to you and yours.
