Meme: High school confidential

I love a good confessional meme. Here’s a great one, via eclecticism:

  1. Where did you graduate from and what year?
    Bellevue High School, class of 1990.
  2. Who was your significant other?
    I had a few, but my first was a crazy senior named Ginger, I was too afraid to break up with her so I just stopped talking to her, which was cruel and horrible, but trust me she got her revenge. My last high school girlfriend was a really dear friend who went off to college, hurt my feelings, and things kind of imploded from there. I have more than a few regrets about that.
  3. Was your Prom a night to remember?
    I hated my high school and my prom really sucked. The only saving grace was my prom date.
  4. What was your favorite song you danced to the night of Prom?
    Didn’t dance at prom. I sulked in the hallway and plotted murder. I was so dramatic.
  5. Do you own all 4 yearbooks?
    I still have two and have no idea which box they’re in
  6. What was your favorite movie in high school?
    Back then I would have pretended it was A Clockwork Orange or Brazil, but it’s always been The Empire Strikes Back. It hasn’t always been okay to be a nerd, you know.
  7. What was your number 1 choice of college in high school?
    Hampshire College, until the Hampshire girl I was dating didn’t want to date me anymore…oops. Then Evergreen.
  8. What radio station did you jam out to in high school?
    KJET and KCMU (now KEXP).
  9. Were you involved in any organizations or clubs?
    I was a drama geek all through high school. I still am deep down.
  10. What was your favorite class in high school?
    English and then Psychology.
  11. Who was your big crush in high school?
    I wont bore you with my 10 page list.
  12. Would you say you’ve changed a lot since high school?
    Um, yeah…I would go so far as to say I’m a totally different person, at least on the outside.
  13. What do you miss the most about it?
    Not much, except remorseless drug use and teenage sex.
  14. Your worst memory of HS?
    Being ridiculed and threatened by a kid who I swear to god was a psychopath. Im not kidding.
  15. Did you have a car ?
    Yup. A bright orange Ford Fiesta. It was quite the chick magnet.
  16. What were your school colors?
    Blue and gold, I think.
  17. Who was your favorite teacher?
    Mr. Seidel
  18. Did you own a cell phone in high school?
    Um, no. Only people on Miami Vice had cellphones in my day.
  19. Did you leave campus for lunch?
    Constantly.
  20. If so, where was your favorite place to go eat?
    There was a mini-mart that sold us cigarettes and had deadly corn dogs.
  21. Were you always late to class?
    Pretty much.
  22. Did you ever have to stay for Sat. School?
    Yes.
  23. Did you ever ditch?
    Yes.
  24. When it comes time for the reunion will you be there?
    I skipped my 10th. I think I might have to break down and go to the 20-year (god I feel old). That gives me 6 years to be sure I’m skinny and independently wealthy, I already have the hot wife, thank god.
