"We don't need a reunion...we have facebook!"

I sent the following message to my three best friends from home via Facebook. I think five years is simply too soon for a reunion. Nothing like making my friends laugh at the expense of others...I clearly haven't changed since high school.

Regarding this PLHS Reunion facebook group and the proposed event itself:

I think it is absolutely hysterical that the biggest losers of our class are the ones so dilligent about planning a reunion. I didn't realize Jenny Thompson was even in our class...I thought she went to South. And who the hell is Dave Marone? I saw his name on the 'members' section and I can not remember this kid to save my life.

Didn't these people hate high school? Why are they so hell-bent on getting 'the gang' back together again? Perhaps they enjoyed high school and actually have some cherished memories of those delightful four years? If they did, I certainly wouldn't know, as I never said a word to any of them unless it was something along the lines of "um, girls, this row is saved..." at a football game.

It's quite ironic that Lindsay Craft is in charge of making sure people attend this event, because she is the exact reason I want nothing to do with any of it. She and the rest of her posse were, at best, C-list douchebags in high school, and they're crazy if they think that five years has changed anything about that. The high school social structure--though rigid, superficial, and arguably unfair--still exists today, and no amount of time or alcohol is going to change that, so I really don't know what these girls think they're doing.

I love how "Sammi"--I still refuse to acknowledge this as her name--is taking a hands-off approach to this event even though she's the one who sent the original message proposing it. "Hey guys, we should have a reunion! Wait...no I don't want to plan it..."

Look at the 'wall' for the group. Aside from Brittany Harrison's comical presence, notice how it's basically a bunch of idiots insisting that someone else plan the event. Remind anyone of high school? Mark my words...this reunion will not happen because anyone from our class with actual leadership skills does not wish to be a part of it. Samantha Pratt never planned a homecoming or organized a blood drive for the same reason she can't step up and be involved in this event that she proposed in the first place: she is timid, socially awkward, and nobody takes her seriously.

Given the lack of leadership experience and social clout of those planning it, I highly doubt this reunion will materialize. However, I'd like to have a plan in case it does. I say we all promptly RSVP a solid "NO" to the event, then go out with Davis and Herbener that night and get really drunk. Then we show up to the reunion, demand free drinks, steal them from people if they don't give into our demands, and then I'll grab the microphone (because I'm SURE there will be karaoke) and start picking random victims from the audience and make fun of them mercilessly for all to enjoy.

FUCK I can't stand these geeks.
