you've not heard a single word i have said
FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL
[What year was it?]
2003-2004 (?)
[Who was your best friend?]
Amaka, Meaghan Reilly, Heas
[What were your three favorite bands?]
Goo Goo Dolls, Ben Kweller, the Strokes
[What was your favorite outfit?]
I'm pretty sure I was into the whole ski-hat thing at the time
[What was up with your hair?]
Still blonde then. Shoulder length, as usual
[What did you do after school?]
Nothing of value. That spring was my first season of outdoor track.
[Where did you work?]
I didn't.
[Did you take the bus?]
Not usually. My dad drove me, and then Rebecca got a parking spot for the last forty days.
[Who did you have a crush on?]
Heh. I think I stalked V. And then the infamous... BBZ
[Did you fight with your parents?]
Not any more or less than I do now.
[Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?]
Probably someone scene. I probably still had weird movie star crushes then
[Did you smoke cigarettes?]
No.
[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
I used my locker as much as possible.
[Did you have a 'clique'?]
I guess you could call it that
[Admit it, were you popular?]
Herm. No.
[Who did you want to be just like?]
Probably Rebecca.
[What did you want to be when you grew up?]
I think I was still in the fashion designer mentality. I guess I had momentarily neglected to remember that I absolutely suck at drawing + creativity. I think I toyed with the idea of being a high school history teacher too. Or wanting to teach English to high school kids in Germany.
[Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?]
Probably where I am. What else could I have expected?
[What advice would you give your freshman self?]
Join choir, do not in any way try to continue on in theater. Stop stalking strange boys who you don't know. Don't do things just because you think they'll get a reaction. Stop caring what people think. Try things before you say no.
