Faced with the choice of attending my 20 year High School Reunion or running my Pathfinder game, I chose to run the game. I'm not sure if that says more about how much I like my friends, or how much I don't care about high school anymore. *Shrug*
I'm just about to run into my 25th ... I know there are people I'd like to run into, people I'd like to see face-to-face, instead of via Facebook. Like K & P ... they started dating in Junior High, got married, and are still together (with various progeny, one of which is already at Uni). I haven't seen them since '85 and the great University Diaspora.
But I can count the number of people (or in their case couples) like that on my fingers ... I'd need a bunch of peoples' fingers and toes to count the number of people I'm just not that interested in ever seeing again, people that the great summer of '85 diaspora meant I'd never have to be around.
In other news: Pathfinder. Does it "fix" 3.5 for you? Do you think this is a short term game, a current favourite, or does it have some real bottom to it? And I say that in its naval metaphor sense, not in a human-posterior-fancier sense.
Yeah, the thing that really cinched it for me was that I still see my favorite people from HS all the time; my best friend from that era (and his wife, who was a friend then but a much more important friend now) are my daughter's godparents. The ones I was curious about I saw on the reunion photo site; the one I was REALLY curious about apparently didn't go anyway. So it would have mostly been an evening of me standing around making awkward conversation--much better to sit around the table laughing and playing with friends.
I kind of wish my graduating HS would have a reunion or wish I could attend a reunion at Florin. Mostly because I am highly amused at how everybody I knew turned out in the end. Most unexpected. They probably feel the same way about me, too. It's not that I really care to impress these people or anything, but I am really curious about those that have not "found me" on Facebook.
Then again, I would probably also have more fun at game night.
