The notion that your teen years are the best ones of your life and that you would want to sit around reminiscing about them is very odd to me
To be honest about my slight touch of hypocrisy here, I am sort of organising a university/KAOS reunion for early next year. It'll be twenty years we've all known each other, which just doesn't seem possible. Those were great days and I'm looking forward to getting people together and reminiscing, so I can kind of understand other people feeling that way about high school.
But that's a group of friends more than an organisation.
all I can think about is how thoroughly unpleasant they were to me at a time when it might have mattered to me.
When I was in about my second year of varsity, I ran into one of my old high school bullies in town, and she was determined to pick up where she'd left off. I couldn't fathom it, that she still cared enough to bother.

Can we get signed copies of NSFW?
Eventually? Yes. First Megan has to find me a dress, though, as I am clearly lacking one.

Succumbed to any shopping urges?
heh, I may have enlisted someone else to indulge my shopping urges for me.
Paul, you are a saint, and one of the reasons I've retained any sanity at all.

I have an American friend who's always trotting off to high school reunions. I couldn't think of anything worse.
My mother was a school teacher. She LOVES reunions: if she'd been to fewer than twenty I'd be surprised. She was utterly flummoxed that I wasn't planning to go to mine.
This is precisely why I'm not on facebook: the prospect of a long, rolling high school reunion.
Almost noone from my high school is on Facebook. This is usually where I make the nasty jokes about literacy. OldFriends was a problem for a while. But the people that I would actually like to know what happened to (not necessarily communicate with) are never there.

Home and happy. (or drugged)
It's not really an either/or thing. I'm taking some scary amounts of pain relief right now. Hoping to not need to be permanently off my tits on codeine sometime in the near future.

Sorry, Peter, I can't make you stop sounding like Peter Sledmere in my head. And Bart, if Karl could do that voice...
I've just used this thread to push myself through a bout of near-homicide, The pain drove me back in on Sunday (blood in my cerebro-spinal fluid) and I'm about out of the ability to listen to other people's petty-minded little conversations. Real-life people, not you guys. And they took away the cute nurse I was getting on really well with.

Or perhaps it's not sexism, but biology, to suggest that it's better for women to conceive a bit younger than they've been trending towards?
Here's a thought. If it's a decision that you're not directly affected by the consequences of, why not, say, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

I have to assume Andre is shipping some humour I'm unable to parse right now

You guys just made me scare the heck out of my nurse. Now she wants to take my lap-top away.

Not saying that Emma is Chris Martin or anything.
Probably more like Vettori.
I look like Bert Sutcliffe...
