I've had the "Ewww, no way." response.

The "Errrr..." and look-to-best-friend-to-get-help response.

The "I don't feel the same" response.

The "He's a stalker" rumour that came off the back of either one of the last two (can't remember which).

And the attempted gentle let-down due to already being in a relationship which, despite the attempt, left me a bit bitter, and because I love her, depressed beyond anything I had been before.

Pretty much 5 years on and I still love her, but she's still in the same relationship. I wasn't sure if she was being serious when I asked her in HS, and she hinted that it might work if she was single, but she was (and probably still is) one of the kindest, most understanding and one of the most good-natured people I've ever met. She's also pretty damn beautiful. The guy she's with is lucky as gak, and I hope he realises that.

Obviously I've tried to forget about her, but it's insanely difficult; although it's not actually interferring much with any other plans to get a girlfriend, because she's the only one I don't seem to repulse, so it's not as if I'm missing out on anything I couldn't get to begin with

But in a way, this is my most crushing turn down, simply because of the effects when it happened, the fact that I'm still feeling the aftershocks 5 years on.

The most obvious girl that shot me down 'became' a lesbain soon after and killed herself about 5 years later. Its probably for the best that it didn't go very far.

Way to kill the mood.

Meh, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I haven't met a skirt yet I wouldn't take a swing at.

I was a goddamn morbidly-obese, neck-bearded, no-showering, loudmouthed donkey-cave that wore beat up old clothes with holes in them back in high school. I wasn't going to be hitting any shots no matter how many I took.

I like facebook because of all the high school hotties that are now fatties.

I was too busy being antisocial and chiraptophobic to bother asking.

Just the usual, they got fat and older. Just like me.

The one time I actually bothered to ask someone out in school, i got a very lovely note explaining that she had a boyfriend back in Poland and therefore couldn't go out with me.

That was alot better then my fear, which was getting my ass kicked by the sports players.
I tended to reach beyond what is possible.

I had a pocket knife for those sort of situations.

Hooray for being the school psycho. <_<

I didn't say i wasn't a long way off. And that is one of the words that gets me, I know Its Professor.
I always get confused.

I, too, can't wait for my HS reunion. If the class president ever got off her ass and made it happen. I know quite a few of my classmates, even the hottie I mentioned that I'm still friends with, have dead end/retail jobs, and I'm a month away from my promotion that should take me to an $80k a year job. Roughly. That's before taxes and health benefits. It'll be good to go back as the king.

Only had one that I fancied, we're still friends though...

Why do you care? I never understood this whole mantra of going back to your reunion to show how badass you became. You'll still be ignored as - newsflash - reunions are about talking about "the good old days" of high school memories. No one's going to care if the dweeb made good.

My wife has gone to multiple reunions. She goes to relive some good memories she had with the people she knew.
In contrast I hated high school with a passion and nearly dropped out in my Jr. and then my Sr. year. Hated it and most everyone in it. I never had any desire to go back and revisit the 40 miles of bad road that was HS. Why waste my time?

EDIT: I also can't stand Facebook, but for so many reasons.

Its not about making them feel bad, its about making yourself feel great.

If you need that to feel great you've Failed at Life. I suggest jumping from a building with great dispatch. Above all, don't breed and ruin future generations.

Your mileage may vary.

Frazzled, no matter who you are, you end up wanting revenge on those guys who picked on you, and knowing that you where superior and destined for greater things then they where.
This may be that im only 2 yrs out of high school, It may change, but yeah, sometimes you want to feel superior.

I only want to be invited to a reunion so that I can decline the invite

So much bitterness and angst in this thread.

Yes...

Sorry. 100k is the smallest large amount of money.

Meh cut out the middle man. As the great buddha nce said: "the best revenge, is revenge."
Living a good life is not the best revenge.

The best revenge is to sleep with his/her mother.

It does warm the heart doesn't it.
Interestingly, my Boy stated last week that he's really enjoyed high school in contrast to most of his friends, but has stored up all his teeneager hostility for the band program. He's do ready to be done.

Now you're thinking.

I dunno, sex is supposedly good for your health. I'm not sure "Making sure your mom lives longer" counts as great revenge.

It does if she is a nag.

She wasn't a blonde was she?

Yeah she is/was. Her family's a bit strange, but I haven't seen her in years so I really have no idea if she's just an oddball, or if her family is just influencing her like Fox News.

Actually Frazz, I wasn't the dweeb-I got along pretty well with everyone, I was just average. Everyone just expects average people to end up with average lives. Sometimes it's nice to show people what they missed out on, and show what you're capable of. Also, you're right about Facebook. It sucks monkey balls. That's a whole different can of worms.

Eh I don't have anything to prove to the losers in my high school. I'd rather take the time and expense to go somewhere that actually wouldn't suck to be for the weekend.
