High Scool Meme

I'm not really one for Meme's, but I saw this one over at Finding Life's Enchantments and thought it was relevant here.

This is me in Grade 9
Grad Year: N/A, last year there...1991

1. Who was your best friend? Emma Lupton

2. What sports did you play?
Tonsil Hockey

3. What kind of car did you drive?
A grey 1980 Pontiac Lemans

4. It’s Friday night, where were you?
Club 404

5. Were you a party animal? I suppose you could call me that

6. Were you in the “In Crowd”?
I was In a Crowd, but not really the "In Crowd"

7. Ever skip school?
A better question would be...did you go to school?
Freaks and Geeks

8. Ever smoke? Anything I could get my hands on

9. Were you a nerd?
No, if you compare my life to the show Freaks and Geeks, I was definitely a Freak

10. Did you get suspended/expelled?
Oh boy, they tried. I was just way to good at talking my way out of things. And my parents were naive enough to stick up for me. Sorry Mom & Dad!

11. Can you sing the Alma mater?
Alma Wha?

12. Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr Dickenson, the drafting teacher. Awesome man. One of the only reasons I stayed in school as long as I did. And one of the few classes I rarely skipped.

13. Favorite class? Drama. I was always pretending to be someone I wasn't anyway.
Lester B. Pearson
14. What was your school’s full name? Lester B. Pearson High School

15. School mascot?
I think a mustang, but that might have been elementary school

16. Did you go to Prom? No, only the nerds went to prom.

17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
In a heartbeat.

18. What do you remember most about graduation? Not graduating

19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
I can't really remember senior year. It's a bit of a fog. I do remember my last day there when Mrs. Nichol said to me "Teresa, if you are not going to take this seriously, why don't you just quit school now and stop wasting my time." So I did.

20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?
Can't say we had anything like that

21. Did you have a job your senior year?
See previous post, Coffee, Fries, Files and Golf Balls

22. Who did you date?
Everyone. Except the guys at my highschool.

23. Where did you go most often for lunch?
Back in the forest to get high.

24. Have you gained weight since then? Only 5 pounds, well give or take 60.

25. What did you do after graduation? Again, didn't graduate. I did go to college a year later as a mature student. That I managed to finish, despite having a baby in the beginning of 2nd year.

Hey T

I was a year ahead of you and it's amazing how your "activities" mirror mine in alot of ways.....

Our "beloved" mascot was a PATRIOT. I am so embarassed that I even remember that. Always thought I was to stoned to remember any of "high" school.
