High skoo
1. Who was your best friend?
Annette and Janelle and Carmen
2.What sports did you play?
None
3. What kind of car did you drive?
A full-size 1984 Pontiac Parisienne station wagon in powder blue with no wood on the sides, thank you very much (fake wood? how déclassé!)
4. It's Friday night, where were you?
Behind the concession/ticket counter at the movie theater from 6p.m.-1 a.m. most weekends
5. Were you a party animal?
No. It might have helped.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
Dunno. Probably not.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
I took piano lessons, accompanied a children's choir and played in a handbell choir, but that was all outside of school.
8. Were you a nerd?
Yes. I said to my mom once after graduation that she and my dad would have killed me if I'd gotten a B+ on something. She said, "No ... you'd have killed yourself on the way home."
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?
No ... I got in trouble some in junior high for writing that the characterization in a book "sucked," but the only thing that happened was that the teacher told me it was going in my permanent record. I've read a lot more now, and I still suspect that book sucked. It was Jackaroo by Cynthia Voigt. Anyone have an opinion? Does it deserve another chance? ;)
10. Can you sing the fight song?
No. I'm not sure I'd recognize it if I heard it. I skipped every pep rally I could by hiding in teachers' classrooms and worked most weekends there were football games.
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
Mr. Demko and Mrs. Redman, both English teachers.
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
I wandered.
13.What was your school's full name?
Midland High School
14. School mascot?
The Chemic. No, I don't know what it is, either. They depicted it as an atom. And yes ... there was a costume.
15. Did you go to Prom?
Three times -- my boyfriend's senior prom, and my junior and senior proms. The first year, my boyfriend's fleeing and eluding (or was it reckless driving? or both?) trial was scheduled the following Monday. Fun fun.
16. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
Some parts. Some parts I'd go back to experience them again; others I'd go back to change.
17. What do you remember most about graduation?
Everybody milling around in Eyeball Alley (the front hall of the school) hugging and crying afterwards.
18. What was your fav. class?
English. I took almost every English class my school offered. Western Lit and Senior Study were my favorites.

Birch Run, shopping with Annette
20. Did you have a job your senior year?
Yes -- I worked at the movie theater.
21. Where did you go most often for lunch?
Noplace. I didn't have a car until senior year, and my closest friends didn't have the same lunch period. No real point in going out.
22. Have you gained weight since then?
30-35 pounds (down 20 pounds since last summer. woo!)

Went off to college -- The College of Wooster

1993
25. Who was your Senior prom date?
A guy I was dating from the movie theater. He was really nice ... I wish I were still in contact with him and his now-wife.
26. Are you going to your 10 year reunion?
I might have done, but Sol and I were in Newfoundland. Maybe 15 ...
27. Who was your home room teacher?
We didn't have homeroom.
