let's climb into the time machine...

...take a little trip back in time with this survey that Heather sent to me yesterday. (hmmmm... why do i feel the need to make sure my crystals are in place...? heh. i digress.)

shall we?

Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be!

1. Who was your best friend(s)?

4. On Friday night, where were you?
at the football games with the marching band. that ended on Thanksgiving though. after that? ummmm... probably driving around with Brian... or at the movies with whomever... or at some kind of rehearsel for Drama... or at some school-related event. OMG... Chele... remember the senior auction?? LOL!!

5. Were you a party animal?
nope. not even close.

6. Were you considered a flirt?
a flirt?? i barely talked at all during most of high school. i finally started to come out of my shell during senior year but i don't think i was a flirt.

7. Ever skip school?
no. even on Senior Skip Day -- Chele & i actually had permission not to be there! LOL!

8. Were you a nerd?
a little but only because i got good grades. i was also a music department geek. but i got along with everyone pretty well. if *I* felt like it.

9. Were you in any clubs?
i was very involved with the music department, which included the Drama Club. that's about it. took up all my time anyway.

10. Suspended?
never. i never got into trouble for anything. ultimate good girl. lots of respect for authority. that & i hated when my father looked at me sadly & said "i am very disappointed in you." i still don't do well when someone says that to me...

11. Can you sing the fight song?
oh man... March on for Central High lalalalalalala... LOL! great. i don't remember the words but the tune is going to be stuck in my head forever now. (Heather: bet you're glad you can't hear this one huh? something else i should hum for you so you don't feel left out??)

12. Who was your favorite teacher?
if this was about *junior* year, i would be able to use my all-time favorite teacher for this answer but... anyway. ummmm... Dr. Powers, i think. i had her for Advanced Vocab (ok fine. so maybe i was more of a nerd than i choose to remember LOL!) & she was *hysterical*. took pictures of Eric Swift sleeping through her class everyday & posted them on her wall. and of course, whatever happened later, Jim Tardif was the best band director we had while i was in high school...

13. Favorite class?
i crammed all my credits into the first three years of high school so that i could skate through senior year & enjoy easy classes. i only had three classes senior year! English. French. Advanced Vocab (first half of the year)/Phys Ed (second half of the year). and Band. i spent the rest of the day in "study hall" in the music department offices... lol... "studying"...

14. What was your school's full name?
Bristol Central High School

15. School mascot?
the ram

16. Did you go to dances?
i went to some before my senior year but i think senior year itself, i went to maybe part of one at the beginning of the year. and the prom.

17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
i wouldn't change anything really about the way it happened... or at least how i remember it, but NO THANK YOU to the idea of going back & doing it again for *any* reason!

1994

24. Where are most of your classmates?

25. Who will resend this first?
well i didn't really send it. maybe someone will see it & decide to blog it themselves though. i don't know.

26. Is there anyone you wish you were closer to then?
no, not really. i was close to the people i wanted to be. there are some ::coughcoughPattyBerniercoughcough:: that would have liked to *not* be so close to!

27. Is there anyone you lost touch with, you wish you hadn't?
maybe a couple of people. but i have reconnected with the important ones. =)

28. If you could change one thing from your senior year, what would it be?
oh boy... let's not go here... i'm going to just say "nothing" but... maybe there's *one* thing... i never thought i would say i wanted to change something but... i think a little differently now than i have in the past about changing things...

29. What was a major event happening in the world during your senior year?
i don't know about the *world* but in the U.S. i remember that Kurt Cobain was found dead, former President Nixon passed away, Tonya Harding had Nancy Kerrigan beaten in the leg during the Winter Olympics & the Buffalo Bills lost the Super Bowl *again*. (sorry, Sue...)

30. What do you think changed the most about you since high school?
O. M. G. what *hasn't* changed?? i don't look the same. i don't act the same. i don't live in CT anymore. i underwent almost a complete metamorphosis between high school & adulthood.
