Update: Senior Year Meme

Super fun meme from Natalie's blog and passed around a bit. I added a picture. :) But NOT a prom picture.

It was 1995 . . .

1. Who was your best friend? Heather M. now F. (me & her on top of my car. ignore my overalls & lack of mascara. i obviously had no clue. or it was the 90s and this was actually cool.)

2. What sports did you play? None. I am a weakling.

3. What kind of car did you drive? my fabulous green GMC Jimmy with a Beatles sticker on the back window and the Smiths or the Cranberries playing on the inside. And full of friends. Those were good times in that Jimmy.

4. It's Friday night, where were you? Dance party, Tomorrowland, Disneyland. Nowhere else.

5. Were you a party animal? No. I was a good girl.

6. Were you considered a flirt? I don't think so. If I was, it certainly wasn't working. I don't think I really cultivated my flirting skills until college.

7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? No. But I was still taking piano lessons!

8. Were you a nerd? Not nerdy enough to be in band or orchestra (hehee), but to some extent, I guess I was. I was in all the nerdy classes. Except pre-calculus. My brain doesn't do math.

9. Did you get suspended or expelled? Heavens, no.

10. Can you sing the fight song? No. Did we have one?

11. Who were your favorite teachers? Mr. Barrett (english & latin) or Mr. Fjeldstead, who taught Physics. Since I was really bad at physics, and since his wife worked for my dad, he was very lenient and let me pass.

12. Where did you sit during lunch? Surprisingly enough, I sat with the cool kids, even though I never hung out with them outside of school. Occcasionally, I would go visit the VP brotherhood or my sister with her friends, wherever she was eating.

13. What is your school's full name? Villa Park High School

14. School mascot? The Spartans

15. Did you go to Prom? Ya, but I'm pretty sure it was a pity date. My friend Matt, who was a Sophomore, took me. Thanks, Matt.

16. If you could go back and do it over, would you? I wouldn't go back, but it was fun at the time. College kicked high school's butt, though. It was way better.

17. What do you remember most about graduation? It was rained out and kids from my class were playing slip & slide on the track at Kelly Stadium. (It never rains in June in the OC, but it did that day.) They moved the ceremony to the school's gym, but I didn't go to that, and never picked up my diploma.

18. What was your favorite class? Latin

19. Where were you on senior skip day? We had to go to Magic Mountain. Where I was a total loner.

20. Did you have a job your senior year? If you count working at my dad's office a "job."

21. Where did you go most often for lunch? I was able to go home since I lived close enough to school that I could have walked. Except I didn't, I drove. Or I'd go to Togo's with Kara O.

22. Have you gained weight since then? not a whole lot.

23. What did you do after graduation? I went to England with my parents. They had sort of started a tradition of a Senior Trip. And London is where I wanted to go. I know, poor me.

24. Who was your Senior prom date? My friend, Matt R. asked me. Like I said, he was a sophomore, and asked me kind of late, but I wasn't being asked, which makes me think that our moms had something to do with the arrangement. But I did get an adorable pale pink dress at Saks for the evening, my first and only formal dance. Remember, I couldn't flirt. (And, sshhhh, I had no boobies to speak of, which is my real theory for why boys didn't like me.)

25. Did you go to your 10 year reunion?
I was lucky enough to have the really good excuse of living in Texas on a student budget at the time. Didn't go watch all those losers get drunk. :)
