grade 12... senior year... whatever...

saw this post on ashby's blog... which you can only see if you're cool enough to have been invited :) ... and it seemed kinda fun. so here goes:

*** MY SENIOR YEAR (a.k.a. grade 12) ***

1. who were your best friends?
jessica, melissa, and emily

2. what sports did you play?
uh... does winning the stake basketball tournament count? how about playing volleyball with the missionaries?

3. what kind of car did you drive?
i wish. ok... well, not like these were my cars... but i drove my parents van (like a real van... like the kind with a bed and a tv and captain chairs in the back... you should've seen me parallel park that sucker... like a glove! passed my drivers test in this vehicle, i'll have you know), i drove my parents little tracker (and failed my drivers test twice in it... did i seriously just admit that?), and shortly after highschool my dad braved the "teach your daughter how to drive a stick" experience and i learned to drive our honda prelude.

4. on friday nights what were you doing?
sleepovers with the girls. church dances. going to parties and practicing the phrase "no thanks. i don't drink."

5. were you a party animal?
i didn't drink. i didn't do drugs. didn't smoke. my body was a temple and no one had a recommend. i was a major flirt and loved friends and stuff... but party animal. i don't think so.

6. were you considered a flirt?
see above. yes. yes, ok. yes i was.

7. were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
if there wasn't a trip to hawaii involved, i wasn't interested.

8. were you a nerd?
teachers pet, yes. nerd, no. dork... definitely.

9. did you get suspended/expelled?
i thought about this often. in my entire life, i was never ever even sent to the principals office. this fact sort of made me nervous, because i came to realize later on in my high school career, that should it ever happen, i would have no idea what to do and i would feel the need to ask the teacher "umm... so you said go to the principals office... exactly what do i do when i get there? do i sit down and wait? do i knock on the door? will you even know if i made it there?" and the teacher would think i was being a brat... but really... i had no idea. so no... never suspended or expelled. although... i did almost get kicked out of ricks college. that was fun. :)

10. can you still sing the fight song?
seriously... i didn't even know what a fight song was 'til i left canada. and i still don't really get it.

11. who was your favorite teacher?
mr. myhrer's - english teacher. we've been through this before. oh wait... he wasn't even my teacher my senior year... haha... ok favorite senior year teacher... hmm... nothing's really coming to mind. too much drama my senior year to worry about school. :)

12. where did you sit during lunch?
locker bays. outside. melissa's kitchen. oh... melissa and i used to go to her house and watch "remington steele" on our lunch breaks. haha. awesome.

13. name the school's full name?
dover bay secondary school

14. school mascot?
dolphin... doesn't that just strike fear in your mind?

15. school colors?
turquoise and white, maybe?

16. rival high school?
every other school in nanaimo. dover bay was sort of viewed as the rich kid school... so there were lots of enemies. and not that i was rich.

17. did you go to prom?
wow... i have no idea where to begin with this question, so i'm just going to leave it at "yes".

18. if you could go back and do it again, would you?
if i could go back to highschool and do it again, i would do it differently. but i don't think i'd be stoked about the idea. freshman and sophmore years at college though... definitely!

19. what do you remember most about graduation?
drama drama drama. girl likes boy (ok... many boys), boy likes different girl, girl's friend likes same boy(s), girls get in huge fights almost every day and then have sleepovers and are best friends again almost every night. boys. wow.

20. where did you go senior skip day?
i don't recall if this was something that happened at my highschool... if i did skip this day, i probably went to melissa's house and we probably ate food and watched tv or talked about boys while laying on the trampoline.

21. favorite memory?
stumped. but i'm sure it has to do with a boy.

22. were you in any clubs?
nope.

23. where did you go most often for lunch?
this is sort of a repeat question... moving on...

24. have you gained some weight since then?
hard to say. probably about the same actually. except what was once muscle is now some other substance i care not to talk about.

25. who was your senior prom date?
adam beaumont... or was it eric ellis... or were those melissa's dates? ;)

26. are you planning on going to your 10-year reunion?
came and went. didn't go, but reconnected with a bunch of people virtually. wish i could have been there.

27. who was your home room teacher?
no idea. did we have home room?

28. who will re-post this after you?
maybe whit... or jackie... or alison... i'm not sure...

29. who was your high school sweetheart?
hmmm... you want the whole list?

30. do you still talk to people from high school?
yep. quite a few actually.

31.did you win prom queen or king?
americans...

32. where did you work in high school?
i cleaned my dad's office once a week... yes, i was a janitor... for my dad.

33. what were your grades?
good. i did better when i got to college though.

34. what was your dress style?
i plead the 5th (which i can do, since i'm in the us)... but i will say it included the word "short" a lot.

35. what year did you graduate?
1996 -- geez.

okay, so here's the challenge... conjure up your best (and worst!) highschool memories and post this survey!
