My 25 is this year. Someone that obvisouly didn't know me pestered me about it. I said basically I hated y'all in high school and avoid "friending" any of you on Facebook so why would I pay $200 to eat a crappy dinner with them. I got blocked. Totally worth it.
I skipped my 10 year, and attended my 20 year last summer. I was actually happy I went. No one recognized me (my look's changed considerably) and I got to avoid the obnoxious ones and visit with the folks I was friends with.
I had a fucking blast trolling our reunion FB group, for reals, too. Any time some posh bitch rolled in with "well, it's it's not formal it's not worth me coming from out of state." I'd reply with "Sorry, who are you?" I got a couple to flouncequit the group. It was awesome.
This party is at the the bar I sometimes go to when I'm home anyway. Every time I go there I catch a glimpse of someone from high-school I don't want to talk to. The thought of them all being in the same room at once...blargh!
Casey Garske Hubster played "who are the mean girls?" and "spot the alcoholic" and I enjoyed talking to the spouses more than the classmates. Then again, we had a nice dinner to go with it. I'm just glad I didn't get roped into the planning.
I went to my wife's 10th high school reunion. I was bored so I started lying through my teeth and pretended I was a classmate and was kinda hurt that they forgot me. I stretched it further and reminded the how I always wanted to help kids and that I was a pediatric gynecologist and was nominated for the Nate Tate Fellowship at George P. Burdell university. It was going great until someone happened to have gone to Georgia Tech. Then the joke was over.
It was a magnet school for health careers with like 50 kids in her graduating class. Most of them were in the medical or scientific field. Literally, nobody caught on until the George P Burdell reference.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

ReplyDeleteLex Larson, thanks for introducing me to the term "flouncequit."

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I would've twigged at 'pediatric gynecologist', myself.

ReplyDeleteamazing. I wonder how many would have signed the "Ban DHMO" petition.
