My Senior Year of High School

Here's one that's going around on Facebook. Thought it was definitely worth posting on the blog as well, given the highly Loserish content and all.

1. Did you date someone from your school?
Kind of.  He was a few years older than me.

2. Did you marry someone from your high school?
Good God, no!

3. Did you car pool to school?
Yes, with Debbie and Jennifer in Deb's car, Marvin. Jennifer was always late and would come out of her house with hot curling iron and toast in hand. In the parking lot we would sit in the car and listen to music and then inevitably lock the keys in the car and had to use a ruler from the art room to break into it. Then Debbie would always miss the turn to my house on the way home because she was zoning out, and I'd get so annoyed with her.

4. What kind of car did you have?
A black Cougar named "Freddy's Cougar", since technically my dad owned it.

5. What kind of car do you have now?
A Subaru Forester and a freaking Toyota minivan!

6. It's Friday night...where are you? (Then)
Probably with said boyfriend. I was one of those annoying chicks who neglected her girl friends once she got a boyfriend.

7. It's Friday night...where are you? (Now)
Probably on the couch

8. What kind of job did you have in high school?
I worked in "Dietary" at the hospital, delivering food trays to patients, working the dinner assembly line and dishwash area. It was actually a lot of fun; all young kids screwing around. I don't know how our supervisor could stand it! I also parked cars in our yard for the Race Track.

9. What kind of job do you do now?
Stay at Home Mom and mural painter.

10. Were you a party animal?
I wish. Let's put it this way: I still have coloring books with pages colored in by me, dated 1989. Oh yeah, baby! I never drank until after highschool and didn't try any illicit substances until after college. My parents had it so easy!

11. Were you considered a flirt?
A flirt, no. Obsessed with boys, very much so. But too insecure to do anything more than walk past their lockers 10 times a day and stare at them in the lunch room.

12. Were you in the band, orchestra, or choir?
Nope- no such talents.

13. Were you a nerd?
Hmm, more of a dork. Nerd would imply that I studied a lot.

14. Did you get suspended or expelled?
I like Allison's answer: " I wouldn’t be alive today if I had been"

15. Can you sing the fight song?
I don't know if we even had one.

16. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)?
I can't think of one. How sad. Mr Baker was kind of hot.

17. Where did you sit during lunch?
I don't remember. I think I blocked that all out.

18. When did you graduate?
1989

19. What was your school mascot?
The Blue Streaks- whatever the hell that is.

20. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
No way!!!! I didn't "find myself" until college. In high school I was awkward, insecure, shy, immature and very sheltered. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. Not that I'm cool now, mind you...

21. Did you have fun at Prom?
I guess so. I was glad to be able to go, with a boy, and fulfill all my Judy Blume fantasy's (senior year was the first year I had a boyfriend). Oh, and I lost my virginity afterwards (sorry mom and dad!)

22. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with?
Nope

23. Are you planning on going to your next reunion?
Yes

24. Do you still talk to people from school?
Just Debbie, and now Sandy on Facebook. Lost touch with everyone else (all 4 or 5 of them that I was friends with).
