I found out through the grapevine a few years back that my HS was having a ten year reunion but I never got an invite. (Other people got cards in the mail -- multiple cards. And e-mails if they are on classmates.com, which I am.)
I wasn't surprised. I was wildly unpopular; I was the kid the other kids loved to torment and bully. I remember the rich girls actually telling me they didn't want me to attend graduation because "it was for the cool kids and you'll ruin it if you come ..." ... (I went to graduation.)
I'm in the phone book, so it's not like they'd have had a hard time finding me if they wanted to invite me.
I was tempted to show up anyway, just simply because I turned out rather different than I think they thought I would. Plus there's one or two people I'd like to track down and haven't been able to.
But I had better things to do that day than crash my own high school reunion, so oh well ...
