My ten-year High School Reunion is coming up (Grosse Point Blank is still the template I will follow if I attend), and I realized people get fat really easily. I was trolling facebook, which I hadn't logged in for a few months (8-9?) and noticed many I knew in High School friend requested me. AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look largely the same, so much so when I did meet someone I knew in HS (he was fat, so I didn't recognize him) he said I looked exactly the same. I don't know what the point of this was, but that is fucked up. People need to eat better. If I attend, should I hand out apples?

Eating well is only a portion of staying thin. Hand out apples and thighmasters.

Those things never work.

I read a scientific study that said that by the year 2030 , 93% of americans are going to be overweight.

I have highschool friends in my facebook and miraculously all of them look exactly the same. Only difference is that some of them are now married and with kids, but even the married ones look the same and shit!

The last time I was seriously carded was at age 36. I credit sunblock.

I had mine a couple years ago. I figured people (including me), would be judging others on 1. How they look 2. How they've done in their personal lives. 3. How they've done professionally. Well I may be a single loser, but I have a good job and I've put on 20 lbs of muscle since most people saw me last. It was pretty fun to catch up with a few friends that I had lost contact with. I was bummed, however, to find out that my best friend from high school was in a mental institution. I was even more bummed out when he killed himself a few months ago.

Fun time, eh?

I read a scientific study that said by 1997, 25% of the human population would be living on the moon.

Course it was written in 1963, sooooo.....

I remember reading a Charlie Brown encyclopedia that said by middle-age I would be living in a Gundam-esque Space Colony.

I only didn't attend, I wasn't invited. Granted, I don't make myself easy to find. I found some peeps from high school via Facebook, but it's just too odd going all "Hey, remember me from the nineties? Wanna be, like, internets friends!111dsdc" I wrote people after hs but only managed to keep in touch with one person from hs and I lost her number a few years ago. I'm a pretty lousy-ass friend quite honestly.

Also, I was swelled in highschool and learned to eat better as I got older, so I actually shrunk.

Wierd. My friend Keith also looks the same except he either got Lasik or finally got around to wearing contacts.

I wasn't invited to my reunion. Too bad, since I've changed quite a bit since then so I could almost successfully stealthily wander around judging other people silently while no one knows who I am.

Rama · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 03:49:48 PM »

I was invited to mine, but didn't go. They were having it in some upscale "Winery" place around here and I just figured that wasn't for me. They did have one after that at the park for us common folk, but I didn't feel like playing that game.

If only I had known it was that easy at prom, I would have tried it at a reunion. You know, that is, if I had graduated high school.

I remember when one of my elem school teachers would rib us about spelling weird that way by reading it as "wired" in front of the whole class. Granted, I was never one of the ones that misspelled it, but I almost never spell it wrong now.

I don't ever want to get contacts. I'm too forgetful and tend to use my hands to the point where I'll forget what I was doing or that I have a jagged nail, then poke. Also, I don't like shit in my eye let alone a tiny lense.

I mispelled Siege in a Graduate level Roman Military History class I had to take because no other classes were open.

Seige? Sounds like some weird off brown color.

Me either but you can see the guy's face. Obviously cause hes ugly

Fiero · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 25, 2010, 10:39:14 PM »

I could not see his face. There was a play button in front of it.

I was wondering that.

I've noticed pictures of girls I know who were in high school, and then later when they're 18-20, and they'll be skinny as fuck when they're 15, but by the time they hit puberty they're fucking over 200 pounds. Puberty's a bitch, but how does a girl go from 110 to 240 in the span of a few years?

I figured it was all the pop and junk food advertised to teens... I said so in my blog and my "Fat-acceptance" friend who is offended by anything if it's about being fat flipped out at me. Of course, she gets pissed when her friends go on diets because she thinks dieting is not accepting who you are and that being fat is okay.

I don't have problems with overweight women but I swear she rants so much about how much she hates her body and hates the world that expects all women to be thin, that I just want to duct tape her mouth shut and tell her to lose some fucking weight.

Misworded that. Obviously if a girl's 15 and she hasn't hit puberty there's something REALLY wrong.

You could have just edited your post, but perhaps the clarification was needed.

It happened again. Today me and Kary were at the Dairy farm we get our milk from, and I get; "Holy shit, how you doing man?"

I didn't recognize him, even after he reminded me he was a friend from HS who was 4 years older than me yet in the same grade (he smoked me up the first time). He was massive, like the fake fat suits they put on skinny people to hide their identity. I barely recognized him save his wierd curly blonde hair. Odd that he recognized me, since I have a beard now, I'm much more lean/muscular and taller since ninth grade (last time I saw him) and I wear glasses.
