Should I go or not/
Am in a strange mood tonight.I sorted out all Dad's post as I am looking after his house,( without opening them of course as that would be rude and his mail is private!) but as I was sorting out his mail, a strange brown envelope showed itself addressed to me, from my old college.
I immediately thought why were they writing to me, I don't go there anymore, but opened it and saw an invitation to a tenth birthday celebration of where I used to live, a supported housing scheme called Briar Patch in Letchworth. I wondered about this invite for ages and whether I should go or not.
This is what I want you to help out with bloggers, Do I go and risk seeing two ex friends and my first ex boyfriend and heads turning from them, and see people who were nice, or do I say no thank you to them and I won't be able to go? Aaargh!
What should I do bloggers, go and risk seeing who I hate or not go at all? Help me out please, what would you do in my situation?

If there are people that you want to see and know will be in the area for the reunion why not invite them over for your own little party that same weekend?
Have fun :)

I always say face up to your enemies if you have the bravery and confidence to do so, especially if you won't see your friends otherwise.
Well, if you really want to go otherwise, I don't think you should let the fear of seeing a few people stop you.
However, as someone with no use for reunions of such, I'd more agree with GimMum: if it's just that there are a few people you'd like to see, then invite them to do something else and don't put yourself through the reunion nightmare. (I almost went to my high school ten-year reunion ONLY because I was afraid I'd regret it if I didn't. I didn't like high school, didn't care about seeing just about anyone who'd be there (most of my friends had graduated years before me), and hate faux-formal events like that anyway. Finally, I came to my senses and remembered that I'd gone to my HS prom for that very reason (everyone had said I'd regret it if I didn't go), and it was boring as hell and I am quite certain I'd have had NO regrets if I'd skipped it, so going to my reunion for the same reason would be stupid.
Sure enough, a few years later, I haven't regretted missing it one bit. I'm glad I didn't waste the money or time, and it sounded just dreadful (from the one person I still talk to from HS, and she normally loves that kind of crap).
If you really want to go, then go (not trying to knock it if you like that stuff). But, if you don't really care to, get in touch with the people you might want to see on your own. Mostly, I figure that, if you didn't stay in touch with them over the ten years since, there's really no great need to see them now either.
