Meme?
Sorry for radio silence. Life continues to be up in the air, juggling job, job hunting, baby, husband, extended family, personal health and sanity, and the cats. I assume I am growing as a person, because I am kind of uncomfortable all the time in my head but sometimes happy. Also Pokemon Go is fun.
So meme!
High School Meme 1984
1. Did you know your spouse? Yep! We had Latin and Physics and Government together and were on the same science competition teams.
2. Did you car pool to school? A friend who lived in the neighborhood picked me up. And then a bunch of us nerds piled into two cars and drag-raced to our Latin class at the other high school, because "intelligent" doesn't always mean "smart." Sometimes we would swagger in late with donuts for everyone.
3. What kind of car did you have? Didn't have a car.
4. What kind of car do you have now? We don't have a car.
5. It's Friday night...where were you? Hanging out at a friend's house watching movies, hanging out with friends at my house watching movies, or reading books and surfing the internet on my own.
6. What kind of job did you have in high school? None.
7. What kind of job do you have now? Scientist.
8. Were you a party animal? Really no. Though my friends and I would throw parties every few months that involved multiple 24 packs of Coke, loud music, cooking huge meals, and watching movies until we all passed out. Then sugar hangovers the next day.
9. Were you a cheerleader? Really no.
10. Were you considered a jock? REALLY no. I was a nerd and did nerd things like Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, and Knowledge Masters.
11. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Choir! Though I quit by senior year because the choir teacher was not very good and hated us.
13. Did you get suspended or expelled? Nope. Though I did once get yelled at by a teacher for leading my Science Bowl teammates in a very loud dirty joke session during a competition trip to DC.
14. Can you sing the fight song? Not for my high school. I can for my elementary school, though! "Centennial, Centennial, just like our state! Centennial, Centennial, a school that is great! We have a lot of students in this building grand, some teachers classes teams and yes a concert band. Great kids attend here because that's the rule. Centennial, Centennial, Bismarck's newest school. Yahoo!" -Pretty sure it was written by the 6th graders. Why it is still taking up valuable brain cells, I will never know.
15. Who was/were your favorite high school teacher? The AP History teacher, who treated us all like intelligent adults and made us work like dogs; The AP English teacher, same; and the wrestling coach/Chemistry teacher/Science Bowl advisor, who had the unenviable task of supervising a team of five nerds, including myself and husband-to-be, in Washington DC two years running. When husband and I started dating we made sure to tell him so that he could fear for the fate of the world- we're Facebook friends too.
16. Where did you sit for lunch? With a bunch of kids who were kinda quirky and mostly turned out later to be gay.
17. What was your school mascot? I think it was a Revolutionary War American soldier? Or something?
18. If you could go back and do it again, would you? HELL no. It was mostly so boring and we had to wake up so early.
19. Did you have fun at Prom? Didn't go.
20. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? See above.
21. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? I heard they are combining it with the reunion for the other high school in town, and going to a bar. So... no.
22. Are you still in contact with people from school? Yep.
23. What are/were your school's colors? Red white and blue, I think.
