IMMA CHARGIN MAH MEME
1. Who was your best friend?
Adam S. He actually had an LJ for a while, but I dunno if he updates any more.
2. What sports did you play?
Cross-country and track. I had the athletic coordination of a jar of mayonnaise, but I was small and could move.
3. What kind of car did you drive?
1989 Chevy Celebrity...I loved that thing, then it blew a head gasket to the tune of $800. I then changed to a 1989 Buick Century with 150K miles that will be around for the apocalypse.
4. It's Friday night, where were you?
Fall: M*rching at the football game, then going to the dance afterwards and trying and failing to dance...see, I'm white.
Winter: Probably either bowling with friends or a hot date with my N64/PS2.
Spring: Same as winter, perhaps at a track meet.
5. Were you a party animal?
Nope...didn't even drink until the end of my freshman year of college.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
Yes, albeit a somewhat creepy one.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
You better believe it.
8. Were you a nerd?
Being a three-time participant in the National Spelling Bee sort of dooms you to this category for life.
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?.
No...I actually tried to stay out of trouble, because I feared being the "smart" kid the administration/public would make a big deal out of me if I did get busted for something (actually, this was the main reason I didn't drink.)
10. Can you sing the fight song?
We just stole Michigan State's fight song. I saw our customized lyrics once, I think...
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
- Mr. Shephard (band director, and a driving force behind my life...easily my favorite teacher of all time)
- Mr. Guentert (algebra/calculus, no-frills teacher great at explaining things in terms that human beings could understand)
- Mr. Ritt (chemistry, just plain fun to pick on because he'd throw a nutty, also had a running Michigan/Notre Dame rivalry with Mr. Guentert that was fodder for us)
- Mr. Frenzel (algebra II, used the term "gerp" to mean a unitless classification or grouping of variables and constants...for instance, to help us visualize 3x/2y^2 + 5x/2y^2 = 8x/2y^2 he'd say "3 gerps + 5 gerps = 8 gerps"...I still use it to this day)
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
The cafeteria, silly!
13. What was your school's full name?
Freeland Jr. Sr. High School
14. School mascot?
Falcon
15. Did you go to Prom?
Yes, went stag as a junior, and with a date as a senior. Didn't care much for it, though.
16. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
...probably.
17. What do you remember most about graduation?
Mark G. smuggling in a portable radio under his robe to listen to the Red Wings.
18. What was your fav. class?
Band, unquestionably.
19. Where were you on senior skip day?
I actually was in class on senior skip. The day before, we camped out and went to Cedar Point, where the same Mark G. from above got hammered on Jack Daniels, stumbled into my tent, destroyed it, and passed out.
20. Did you have a job your senior year?
Yup, I was a slave to the Arches.
21. Where did you go most often for lunch?
The cafeteria (closed campus.)
22. Have you gained weight since then?
A few pounds...I've filled out a little, which is a good thing...I was getting sick of being the cross-country running little rail of a kid.
23. What did you do after graduation?
I took a crazy road trip with some of my friends to a property they owned in Engadine. There is video of this trip. If you want to see me at my most ridiculous/inept/weird, watch this video.
24. When did you graduate?
May 2002.
25. Who was your Senior prom date?
Carrie S. This was funny for a few reasons: 1) I could honestly say I "took Carrie to the prom," and 2) she and I were the two highest ACT scores in the school, and were widely regarded as the class nerds.
26. Are you going to your 10 year reunion?
Pfft...we probably don't even have one.
27. Who was your home room teacher?
Mr. Lentner...legend has it he once shot a student's cow after it wandered onto his property, and he once sat on a desk and broke it in half.
28. Who will repost this after you?
BUN-GERRRR!!!!!!!!!!
...and now is where I mention that after my 2nd year of college, my assistant principal got busted with a hard drive full of kiddie porn.
