The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

I stayed in touch with the only person I cared to stay in touch with. I don't give a crap what happened to the rest of them. They obviously were not too concerned with keeping up with me either.

I think you're more common than not. I stayed in touch with a group of people, but there were others I got along with that I wouldn't mind seeing again.

I got along better with the underclassmen. They won't be at this reunion unfortunately. I should just crash their reunion.
I'll be going to my 20 year high school reunion this summer.
I didn't like my 10 year reunion. The people who were a-holes were still kind-of a-holes. Everyone (including me) was self-conscious about who was doing what and owned what, etc. I had lost a lot of hair since high school and was VERY self-conscious about that, especially after a guy I knew very well in High school didn't recognize me.
Now, for the 20-year, I am more mature, self-confident, and happy with who I am, what I do and how I look. I think everyone else feels that way, too, by the people I've talked to.
I was class president in high school, and I am supposed to give a speech at the 20-year. I was going to make it one of those "we didn't even know what a CD was, and the only Idol we saw on TV wsa Billy Idol (rim shot)"
But I'm going to make it a sincere speech about how the 20 years perspective we have on that experience we shared in 1987 is invaluable in gauging how we live the next 20 years and raise our children.
As far as turning 30, Joie, When I turned 30, I saw it as I am now the youngest person in a new demographic. I was the youngest 30-something at work and no longer the oldest 20-something. I was the shit in a new set of dudes.
NOT trying to give myself a sunshine enema. Seriously, that's how I felt, and it felt great. Now I'm 37 and I wonder if I'll feel that way about the 40's. Hmmm.

This is a good attitude. I tend to think of all I haven't accomplished yet. Bad, bad attitude.
NO! Your life is barely 1/3 lived. Look ahead. Seriously. Since I've turned 30 (7years ago) I've tripled my salary, had two children, bought two houses, lost the rest of my hair, stayed in shape, donated a lot of stuff and money to charity, helped my parents, been to a Chiefs game, etc. etc.
I think this is the best decade of life. Welcome.

I hope so. I'm not there yet. I turn 30 on January 7, 2009. So I'm still a few years away. I dwell on things too much...we aren't married yet, I haven't had a baby yet, I haven't finished college (I start college soon). I guess all of these will probably happen in my thirties.
