That high school meme people are doing:
REPOST with name of high school and graduating year!
I went to 2 different high schools, Hazel Park High and Royal Oak Kimball grad: 1988
1. Did you date someone from your school?
Not really. I didn't do much dating, preferring to go out in small groups.
2. Did you win anything in Senior's Who's Who?
No, by senior year I was working full time and didn't do much school stuff.
3. What kind of car did you drive?
None, thank you. The same kind I drive now.
4. It's Friday night...where r u?
Work, followed by drinking in a parking lot.
5. Were you a party animal?
I drank a LOT, but didn't go to parties much, always working.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
I don't know if I'd call it that. I was pretty desperate for male attention, I needed the validation.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
I played the flute and was in drama club.
8. Were you a nerd?
Yes, but not as nerdy as my cohorts.
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?
No, but I had plenty of detention for skipping class.
10. Do u remember your school fight song?
Not really. Something about Kimball Knights fight fight!
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
Mr Barlow at HPH, Mr Botens at Kimball. Both of them thought I was a great writer who showed promise.
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
In Finster's car in the parking lot, or at some fast food dive.
13.What was your school's full name?
See above, and Clarence M Kimball High School. I have no idea who Clarence M Kimball is.
14. School mascot?
I forget Hazel Parks mascot, but it was the Kimball Knights
15. Homecoming court?
Hahahahahahaa!
16. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
Maybe, I'd have done it much differently
17. Where did you go senior skip day?
My Mom made me a doctors appointment. Spiteful Bitch.
18.Were you in any clubs?
Just Drama club and debate team.
19. Have you gained some weight since then?
Honestly? I've gained about 5-10 pounds a year until 2005, when I finally started losing.
20. Who was your Senior prom date.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kissdbyagnome but we didn't actually go to the prom.
The prom is for suckers and sheep.
21. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion?
I doubt it, it was years ago. My 20 year is next year and I may go to that.
22. Who was your home room teacher?
Some guy I didn't have for any classes
23.Who will repost this?
Who knows
24. Did you play any sports?
Nope. Not unless competetive drinking counts.
25. Do you still talk to people from high school?
Yes in fact,kissdbyagnome and sudrin are still good friends of mine, even though we lost touch for a while. I wish I could talk to Finster, but he went crazy. Too bad too, he was a good one for a while there.
While I'm here, here's the Friday Five:
Many people make a big deal about not being "labeled." And yet, we all are, constantly.
1. Pick one label that you think does describe you (race, religion, hobby, etc.).
I like being called a Witch, you know, the magickal kind.
2. Pick one label that is often put on you, that you really think is inaccurate.
People often tell me how easy going I am, and how I'm so comfortable with myself. This is usually a facade. I'm very "fake it till you make it" in that way.
3. Pick one label you wish could be put on you.
The world's greatest horror novelist since Stephen King.
4. What is one kind of label that you think is universally wrong to use (race, gender, height)?
Labeling people by race can be lazy and stupid, and very vague.
5. Labels, used intelligently, can be a convenient rhetorical shorthand for identifying how a given person will fit into (or react to) a given situation. Labels, used incorrectly, can be an excuse for dismissing the differences still inherent in the people to whom the label is applied. Discuss.
Actually, that pretty much sums it up. I don't mind labels if they are fair and accurate, but they often denegrate into stereotypes, and those are no good for anything.
