Ode to a Senior Year

I found this on Katy's blog, and it was too much fun to pass up.  So, while Lola and I are struggling with her first pattern repeats (translated:  I had to rip it out and start over, so pictures have to wait), here is my Ode to a Senior Year...

1. Who was your best friend?   Felicia, Lisa, Melody, Ashley & Elizabeth.
2. What sports did you play?  LOL... that's funny.  (That would be no.)
3. What kind of car did you drive?  A powder blue Chevy Tuna Boat.  My father required that any car driven by any one of his children qualify as a Tuna Boat. 
4. It's Friday night, where were you?  In my living room watching the Love Boat.  Or was that Saturday night?  Either way... you get the picture.
5. Were you a party animal?  Oh yeah... me and Gopher and Julie had us some wild times.
6. Were you considered a flirt?  Nope.
7. Ever skip school?  Never.  I was the proverbial good girl.
8. Ever smoke?  Shhhh.... it'll ruin my image.  (Yes.  My little rebellion.)
9. Were you a nerd?  Not really.  Kinda.  Maybe.  I was an honor student/drama nerd/student council/cheerleader.  (Basketball cheerleader.  I never quite made it to the super cool-dom of being a Football Cheerleader.) 
10. Did you get suspended/expelled?  Are you kidding?  It goes against everything in my good girl nature.
11. Can you sing the Alma Mater?  Ummm, yeah.
12. Who was your favorite teacher?  Colonel Mesler - he was our Dean of Students and was one of the most influential people in my life.  He really stood by me during some difficult times.
13. Favorite Class?  Drama
14. What was your school's full name?  Marist School
15. School Mascot?  War Eagle
16. Did you go to Prom?  Yes - my friend from Drama Club took pity on me and when no one asked, he volunteered.  He liked to wear my boa. 
17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?  Not on your life.
18. What do you remember most about graduation?  That I got very unexpectedly teary during Pomp and Circumstance. 
19. Favorite memory of your senior year?  Playing Anita in West Side Story
20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?  I'm not sure what this is... I don't think we had one.  I was most talented in my Senior Class.... does that count?
21. Did you have a job your senior year?  Babysitting... that's about it.
22. Who did you date?  Rob - who is now married to Felicia (see #1).
23. Where did you go most often for lunch?  Perimeter Mall
24. Have you gained weight since then?  Gained.... and lost.... and gained.... and lost.  I'm actually smaller now than I was then.  (Woot!)
25. What did you do after graduation?  Moved to Athens and went to UGa
26. When did you graduate?  1984.  (Gah.  I. Am. OLD.)

I love these! and, crap - why am I older than EVERYBODY!!!

Love Boat at 9:00 and then Fantasy Island at 10:00. I was also a basketball cheerleader -- I nearly, but didn't make football cheerleading. (And yearbook/student council nerd.)

And you are not old -- oh, yea, I forgot, I'm old too.

Such a fun read!! "He liked to wear my boa"... hehe :)

[Sarah]

What a fun post! A little glimpse into your past... isn't it funny how different we all were back in high school?

[Stephanie]

This is great. Time does heal all!

[Becky]

You are SO not old.

I had fun reading this. Whatever happened to the Drama Club friend who liked to wear your boa?

[Kirsten]

Your not so old! I've got a few years on you.
It's fun to think back on HS. I don't dare answer it on my blog though. I'm afraid my kids (ages 12,12&14) might read it and there are some things it's best they don't know! :)

I was soooo excited to see your comments on my blog, I'm so glad you found me- I've missed you!
This was very entertaining to read, high school full of interesting, silly memories, I'll probably be thinking about it all day...
BTW, I LOVE the stitching on Eloise, it's so pretty!

1984?, my youngest child was born in 1984 and I attended my 10 yr class reunion that year big and pregnant. You're not so old ;)
