Not that I've actively kept up with anyone from high school since the day I graduated, but my classmates are the most boring people. Almost all of them have typical successful jobs for and post about their kids and/or dogs on Facebook and Instagram all day. I'm super boring too, so it should be what I expected when I was 18. But still, there's no serial killers or meth dealers in that bunch that I know of. No prominent Trump supporters or Nazis either. I guess the only slightly "weird" bit was working as a Walgreens cashier when I was 19 or 20 and this quiet, unassuming girl from high school coming in with her dad to buy toothpaste or whatever... and she was very pregnant. She didn't say a word and had his extremely worried look on her face. I felt kind of bad because she had to be going through some poo poo. But that's more awkward than weird.

Hopefully MLMs, prison, or retail. Not sure which is worst actually.

MLMs, a few trumpers, kids (although most had kids just months after graduation), one in jail for attempted murder but he’s actually a pretty cool dude who likes shrek memes when he’s not getting into literal crowbar fights. This was years ago when we were still all teenagers but I remember the posts people would make when they decided they’d make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It was silly at the time but all of them travel the world now and most have cushy non-combat roles so good for them. I grew up in small town USA for the most part so the majority of people fell into the general trappings that upbringing has. You’re pretty much a success by default if you leave the town.

One of my friends is a clown now. Like a literal clown. Whiteface, baggy pants, balloon animals, the whole shtick. Another is a Friend of Bill W working as a part-time teacher and actor. Everyone else is boringly successful by various degrees.

I have a friend who studied clowning professionally and they got so mad when the media was running with that whole KILLER KLOWNS ARE COMING FOR YOUR KIDS scare a year or two ago. They were making a whole bunch of Facebook posts about "Clowns are people too!" and doing media interviews and getting pissy at anyone who'd post a funny "Killer Klown get punched out" fake video and the whole shebang. It was the first time I ever laughed at a clown.

A friend that went through K-12 with me got heavy into drugs after high school. Got a woman pregnant. Then got off the drugs and booze to be a father. On the way home from work one day a drunk driver hit and killed him.

LadyPictureShow posted:Oh, word. I grew up in Cheektowaga not far outside of Buffalo. Hey thanks! Cheekto-wanga eh? Fancy city kid... But no really, a lot of people from my hometown saw (and probably still see) Buffalo as the big scary city. It’s probably because they’re all...very white. Not related to the thread subject but I’m living in blue-collar Tonawanda right now, and the first night I was here a guy and his wife approached my roommate and I at a bar, bought us shots of tequila, and then engaged in a conversation that ended with him asking us if we wanted to spend the night with his wife.

I have no idea what any of them are doing, and to be honest, I have no idea how to even find out. I assume they mostly have kids or jobs or whatever.

My two best friends from high school, Randall and Marcus, both decided to buy houseboats within like a year of each other. They each host nautical themed poker nights on alternating months (have not fully learned the game yet but getting there). I made a joke a few months back about me buying my own houseboat and us forming an Epic Friendship Navy, and they basically told me I don't have my poo poo together enough to purchase and maintain a houseboat and marina rent or whatever. Truth is, I am in between jobs and living with my Uncle and Cousins currently. This has sort of been a wake up call for me, and you can bet every cent I somehow come across and can save is going towards a houseboat and, ultimately, independence. I guess it's weird, but it has inspired me to look harder for jobs and attempt to get over my lifelong phobia of living on the water (tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.). This has been the Year of the Crystal for me, but up next? Year of the Houseboat. Stay in touch with your old friends, folks.

Most ppl from my HS are normal. Most of my friends in HS are living fear based lives and taking no risk and having no goals beyond material stuff that won’t make them happy which is fine. I post in GBS forum

peanut posted:Crossposting rants about how society is obligated to find them attractive and it's a hate crime if you decline sex with them. hahaha do they plan on walking up to people then straight up asking? I’ve got a good friend who moved west with his wife to help open a coffee shop and he’s doing great. I don’t really keep up with anyone else. Like Astoundingly Ugly Baby I went to a private christian hs so I imagine most everybody is doing fine, nothing too crazy other than underlying misery and dissatisfaction.
