Now you need not wait 10, 25, and 50 years to indulge in narcissism; you can be narcissistic 24/7, thanks Facebook!

I just realized next year will be our 50th High School anniversary.

Several years ago they had a multi-year reunion. Someone asked me why I didn’t attend. The answer was that I did not even know about it.

If I recall correctly, there were 927 students in my high-school graduating class.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the ones I would have any interest at all in ever seeing again.

I have a Facebook account, but it's just for relatives only. I don't post on it nor do I spend eons of time reading what others are doing.

What’s ‘Facebook’?

Funny, Facebook enabled mine.

And a couple more personal reunions as well.

People asked me why I didn’t attend my HS reunions. My answer was “Why would I want to go see a bunch of people I couldn’t wait to get away from to begin with?”

A bunch of my high school classmates (1980) wanted to friend me. Answer: Friend all the girls, don’t friend the guys.

That is the fault of the folks this author went to school with. Facebook didn’t do anything. I kept in touch with my friends from high school afterwards. We still have reunions so we can get together and tell lies to each other, laugh, comment on how lucky we all are to still be living, remember those who are gone, and just reconnect with a real live human being.

If this author’s group is so shallow that a page on a computer is all they need to feel like they are connected I feel sorry for them.

FB was instrumental in organizing ours. And updates are nice but actually SEEING your friends is far superior.

Facebook is a place you can catch up with old high school companions, learn that some of them have become liberals and spend your time infuriating them on every liberal commentary by shredding every statement they make.

If they unfriend you, so what?

Facebook. Another reason to stay from the evil.

Find out after 20 years that they still won't sleep with you? Who wants that? ;-)

There were two girls in my class who were world class beauties. In fact they may have been even prettier than most world class babes.

One of them did about what I would have expected. She became an airline stewardess, then became head of the whole stewardess part of the airline, married a very wealthy and decent fellow. She is now a widow.

The other one just seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

I wouldn’t attend anyway.

Highschool for me was not dramatic, traumatic, or in any way unpleasant..... It just WAS.

I live in the present, with necessary forays into the future. Highschool is in my (distant) past. There is no reason for me to live even a tiny piece of it again.

I’m going to a high school reunion this summer and it will probably be ruined because just about everyone will probably have their faces in their smartphones...checking Facebook.

I can’t remember if it was my 20th or 25th reunion that was coming up, but I recall getting a questionnaire in the mail asking various questions. One of the questions was, “Who did you most want to do the horizontal bop with?”. I found it amazing that many of the people I went to school with still hadn’t grown up. I pitched it in the trash and never looked back.
