High School Flash Back Meme
- Who was your best friend?
Kim was until she graduated. I don't think I made a "best" friend after that. - What sports did you play?
I did track and field for three years. And I was on the freshman basketball team for less than a week. The coach wouldn't comprimise on practice/game times when my marching band director would. I chose the band. Probably a good thing too, since I'm not sure the basketball team won a single game that year and half the team quit by the end of the season because the coach was such a jerk. - What kind of car did you drive?
Which year? A conversion van, a Lumina, a giant pick-up truck, and a Corsica. - It's Friday night, where were you?
At the football game! - Were you a party animal?
Not at all. - Were you considered a flirt?
Not really. I flirted to be funny, but that wasn't really my MO. - Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
I was very, very much in the band. And like Amy, I lettered. Several times. - Were you a nerd?
If by nerd you mean smart, in all the AP classes, and in geeky extra-curriculars, yes. - Did you get suspended/expelled?
Good heavens, no. - Can you sing the fight song?
Certainly. In fact, I've been singing it on and off for the last few weeks since I got a scammy alumni directory request in the mail. What I really wonder is if I could pick up a baritone and actually play it without the music in front of me... - Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr. Ferriby. His American Lit class was one of the best I ever had. He really took time to entertain us with American Lit instead of drilling us, probably because an honors program that most AP-level kids couldn't participate due to poor scheduling left him with the dregs (and two AP kids). I might have also enjoyed it because other than reading, there was little homework. Or because Rob and I got to goof off most of the time. - What was your school's full name?
Carman Ainsworth Senior High School - School mascot?
Cavalier - Did you go to Prom?
I went my senior year but missed it my junior year to go to Alan's junior prom in New York. - If you could go back and do it over, would you?
Sure. - What do you remember most about graduation?
The surreal sensation that the band was playing without *me* in it. - Where were you on senior skip day?
Sadly, at school. I don't think I had enough sick/vacation days to miss another day. - Did you have a job your senior year?
Not during the school year. - Where did you go most often for lunch?
The cafeteria. - Have you gained weight since then?
Yes. I lost it all and then some, but I've put plenty back on. I'm about the size I was when I graduated though. - What did you do after graduation?
The post-party, which got crammed into the high school instead of the local college athletic center. - When did you graduate?
1998 - Who was your Senior prom date?
Alan - Are you going to your 10 year reunion?
If I can make it, yes. I'm hearing rumblings of the planning now, which I'd love to participate in. - Who was your home room teacher?
We didn't have homeroom. But I did spend my extra minutes before school in the band room. - Who will repost this after you?
You know, I'm not sure.
