I'm a bouncy, opinionated, messy haired marathon running (!) bibliophile. I wear high heels and have delightful ankles. I'm a devoted drinker. I want a French Bulldog puppy whom I shall call Batman and dress in capes on occasion. I would also like a pug, whom I shall name Mister Woo. He can remain capeless, but I will make sure he wears a diamante collar at all times. Both dogs will submit to repeated snorgling and high pitched squeals that only a dolphin would normally tolerate. I hate Reiki/psychics/mystics/frauds with all my liver. Also, I'm firmly against Jazz and poetry/poems/pomes/ peoms or any of that stuff. I believe in the healing power of ginger.

I've never been to a school reunion. Mostly because I left my home country at first chance, so I haven't exactly been around to go to any, but I also shudder at the thought. I don't know why really, but I do. I can imagine people pretending to have such fabulous lives and bragging about this that and the other, while lying through their teeth. Maybe I'm just an old cynic..? But please go, because I'm sure it will be good stuff to blog about = good entertainment for your loyal readers :-)
Oh I see how it is missy, I get to spend an evening in agony, you get to laugh about it. Ni-ce.
I haven't decided yet.
Oh God, I've been working on a post about this. I took exams and graduated early, but the class I would have graduated with has its 20th year reunion this year. One of my former classmates tracked me down via e-mail and wanted me to go. I am so not going, for a whole variety of reasons.
Oh, and welcome back! I hope you had a good vacation.
I did thank you, and I have a Meg Ryan Fish to prove it, which I will be posting a photo of tomorrow.
school reunions are for people who went to prom and were popular and stuff back then.
but not for such as you and i, my love.
I went to my 10 year College re-union. It was fine, but I went with my two best friends from College and we only stayed for the lunch then went off ourselves. It was good to meet people but it was a bit staid and boring at the lunch. The best part was meeting the two girls. There's another one coming up at the end of the year, but I think I'll be passing this time.
I missed my 10th last summer because I was in Cork...I heard from the three or four friends I keep in touch with that it was fun, but most of them described it as "look who got fat" kind of fun. Which is a little depressing, and not exactly compelling enough to get me there.
Never look back, is my motto. If you were so close at school, you'd have stayed in touch, wouldn't you? so a reunion would be unnecessary. Then again, if you have a burning curiosity about your former classmates, then go for it, girl! If your blog is anything to go by, you'll talk yourself out of any sticky situation!
I went to one, once. One of 'the' schools it was. There was an interesting revisiting of an incident that made the national press... make a reasonably good stage play... and to top it off someone nicked something off me.
Go for antropological reasons, but only if you've a thick skin and a strong stomach. Otherwise say it clashes with a pre-booked holiday on Grand Caymen/Mauritius/etc
It all sounds terribly iffy and they're having it in Wexford. That would mean having to stay in wexford for the night, and I've seen The Wickerman.
The original, I hope. Was it a boarding school, btw?
Yep to both.
Wexford you say, don't suppose it was a Quakers boarding school?
Quakers? Fuck no.
ha ha, coincidently i have a panic stricken 15 year old in my sitting room, her parents are forcing her to go back to boarding school its in Wexford, it's Quakers, was boarding school hell?
Hmm... be afraid, be very very afraid. (I'm presuming the Lilac One wdn't have countenanced a co-ed boarding school.)
Boarding Schools are cop-outs for people who do not want to rear their children, why have them.
Er, have you heard of my mother?
Not sure if that was directed at me or not!?, Assuming it is, what the crack with your mother, does she fly the flag for those type of parents?

You must be new here. My mother was a very staunch supporter of boarding schools and anything else that might keep/drive this fatcat from the family home.
Of course now she is old and cannot understand why her children aren't daying to spend more tie with her.
I see now I've been reading all afternoon with delight, I am sick in my leaba and will probably be here for quite a while so keep up the good work. I am whole-heartedly against boarding schools and reunions don’t go it will be messy.
Zounds, sick on a friday, ghaaaaastly.
Sadly by the looks of things I’ll be in this boat for the next few Fridays, so you had better dazzle me with your creative writing and escapades you hear : )
