I got some mail from my mom's house and was completely chagrined to find out that it's time for my 15 year high school reunion. I had no friends, hated high school, and I'm fat and charismatic. Should I go? And how much of a battering will my self-esteem take?
Offer opinions in the comments, please.

My vote: don't go.
I say skip it. There's only so much that a soul can take -- and high school (or, in this case, high school flashbacks) inevitably push you over the edge. :)
I view it as an investment & in my opinion it's an investment you don't need to make......I didn't go to my 10 yr hs reunion b/c I didn't have the emotional strength at the time & I don't regret not going.
Interesting--the only reason I could think of for going was that it's the week after Genevieve's baby is due, so I could visit her at a really inappropriate and hectic time. And I'd rather visit her either 4th July or later that month when she and the family have got it together. I think I'll just fill out the alumni form.
If that is the only reason, then definitely skip it :). I will have my mom and then my mother in law here and I'd rather see you when I have things figured out a bit and can actually pay attention to you.
My further elaborated thoughts on high school reunions is that they're mainly either for people who think high school was the best time in their lives or for people like us who were misfits to go back and prove something like "look at my cute spouse/children" or "marvel at how successful I've become" or even "I've aged better than all of you". It's doubtful the 2 or 3 people you may have actually liked and would like to see again will show up - for that I think it's better to go back to the google-stalking.
2 or 3 people is a totally inflated amount of people who would even remember me.
Yeah, I figured the chances were high that you'd be a huge pregnant lump who would not want to do anything or absolutely besotted by the Ben. I ned to figure out my summer--I might go to ALA for the placement interviews. Fuck, I need to get out of OH first.
