This is a widdle meme I saw going around on Facebook, where I posted it first. Then, it occurred to me that I haven't put anything up here for a while, so I thought I'd repost it for all of youse.


Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school!

2. Did you marry someone from your high school? Why yes, yes I did.

3. Did you car pool to school? Yep.

10. Were you a party animal? Pretty much. I think we all were.

12. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Unfortunately, by my senior year, no. That was a mistake, he says 30 years later.

13. Were you a nerd? I didn't think so, but I'm sure others did.

14. Did you get suspended or expelled? No.

15. Can you sing the fight song? I can hum it- I'm not sure if it has words.

16. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)? I liked my new Facebook friend Mrs. Claycomb, but I only had her for one class that year. Mr. Kesslar and Mrs. Robinson were OK. Most of the teachers didn't know what to say to me or do with me by that point, and even fewer showed any inclination to care.

17. Where did you sit during lunch? Here and there. I didn't eat lunch in the cafeteria all that often; usually I'd go hang out somewhere and eat when I got home.

21. If you could go back and do it again, would you? Knowing what I know now? Sure. If I had to do it cold, hell no.

22. Did you have fun at Prom? I didn't go. Theresa Doyle called me that night and asked if I wanted to go, I said no, I don't have anything to wear and not much money, would you like to go out and do something anyway? And the rest, as they say, is history.

23. Do you still talk to your prom date? Oh, from time to time.

***IF YOU WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE PERSON THIS IS ABOUT, LEAVE YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY THAT INVOLVED THAT PERSON!***
From our 1978 yearbook.

The funny/scary thing is, you still have that "I'm up to no good" look on your face in the most recent pictures I've seen you post.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess!

I've been asked what was going on when that picture was made- I vaguely recall someone making a remark when the person standing in the doorway of the typing classroom snapped the pic, but that's all. Lotta dead brain cells ago.

I love that pic! You are the seventeen-year-old version of the Almost Famous dude =)

You have NO IDEA how much I related to that flick. Crowe and I had a lot in common when we were teenagers, at least as far as reading CREEM and listening to music constantly went...
