    Anthony Stewart had a freckle on his left collarbone...... That's all that occupied my mind in senior year. *sigh*

    Someday I will write a story that starts with this line.

    I've managed to block out those years. No, not drugs. It's just easier to forgive if I choose to forget.

    Oh boy...

    I was the one that went to school as little as possible (I only went to class in the morning but worked in the afternoon)

    The latest technology - Motorola's Star TAC cellular phone! Ahead of its time for sure.

    Best show on TV? Hmm...there was Ellen, Drew Carey, The Simpsons, King of the Hill...

    The BEST thing that happened to me? Getting out of high school?

    The WORST? Getting out of high school? :)
  • TOTALLY OFF THE SUBJECT- but HAD to respond to this anyhow

    That was over 30 some years ago- and all the things I thought were SO important back then

    really DON'T make a hill of beans now

    ( yes, Mother......you were RIGHT)


    'cept to say one thing:

    I am NOW at the weight I was then, and really really am comfortable here.
    That SAME weight I was when I was CONVINCED I was a cow.

    Lesson learned 30 yrs later: Don't pay attention to *feelings* or what others say about me.
    Gauge it by my overall health- period. THAT doesn't lie.

    - Sadly, I was banned from TV for most of HS cuz I was grounded most of the time. So I'll say River Dance on PBS. Michael Flatly is like paralyzed from the waist up and making the most of what he's got. Good for him.

    - I got the girl. Not that one... the other one. Yep. Her even hotter friend.

    Who are you?
    one of the outsiders. in the mornings i'd usually drift between the punks, goths, and metalheads hanging out near the guidance office, or the rainbow alliance kids chillin' in the stairwell, or meandering elsewhere as i felt like it. i usually wore crazy mismatched outfits, and i often wore faery wings, a tiara, and carried a star-wand.
    7023111205_340368b221.jpg
    i was a teenaged faery by ash-k, on Flickr
    (no wings in this pic, though the self-portrait i had to do in art had them, and i have got a tiara and wand in this pic)
    most of my friends were other outsider-type people who didn't really fit in any of the available groups, either. we kind of made our own group. that was partly due to my best friend, who is still my best friend... she kind of found us all and pulled us together, which was awesome. i met almost everyone i knew through her!

    What 4 songs are playing in heavy rotation?
    "Happy Pill" by 16Volt, "When You're Around" by Relient K, "A Single Second" by AFI, and pretty much all of Placebo's album "Without You I'm Nothing"

    Where do you plan to be in 10 years?
    at that point, i was planning to become a nurse.

    What's the latest technology?
    people were super-into those nokia phones that you could put the different covers on, with the green screens with black letters, and the hottest game you could play on them was "Snake". i didn't have one of these. they were too fancy/expensive.

    What's the best show on TV?
    i was REALLY into Invader Zim and Fairly Oddparents on Nickelodeon.

    What's the BEST thing that happened to you this year?
    i actually had a really great time at my senior prom.

    What's the WORST thing that happened to you this year?
    this was more after i actually graduated, but i had a lot of boyfriend/boy drama.
