High school "meme". I didn't even know that word then.
14 years ago
What year was it?
1996-2000
What were your three favorite bands (performers)?
Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morrisette (SPAM), and Presidents of the United States of America (POTUSA)
What was your favorite outfit?
Pretty much always been a graphic t and jeans guy. Though my favorite 'OUTFITS' in high school were the dog costume I wore for a summer school Cinderella play we put together ourselves (students), AND my speedos for swimming. :3
What was up with your hair?
Freshmen year I grew it out, then I shaved it off the last day of school. Then it was pretty much eye-length, parted in the middle with shaved sides and back. Pretty standard guy hairdo for the nineties, I guess.
Who were your best friends?
My core crew from elementary on was Jeremy, Chad and myself. My gf from 10th on was Chantai, she became our 4th. Sadly...I don't really talk to any of them anymore.
What did you do after school?
Theatre or Swimming or Water Polo.
Where did you work?
First job was at Taco Bell, learned to drive, and with a manual, on my way there. Quit after 14 months, caused issues in my best-friendship. Got a new job at Chuck E. Cheese's where I worked for the next 7 years. :o
Did you take the bus?
No, they didn't really have 'school buses' necessarily for high schoolers. Mostly just the regional transit, which did stop 1 block from the school. But I still had a ride there every day, whether it was Mom or (heaven forbid, Dad) Jeremy or whoever.
Who did you have a crush on?
Oh so many really. But mainly it was a fellow Water Poloer/Swimmer, Garrett and classmate Grant. At the same time lusting MADLY for Jeremy's little brother Joey. God damnit was he hot!
Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Chris Farley at the time, but he wasn't even all that cute OR hot. I just remember him pretending to be gay at some point and it hooked me. :3
Did you smoke cigarettes?
Nope. I absolutely never will. My dad has smoked since he was 10, and didn't give a damn about us kids breathing it. I actually don't mind it so much anymore, and most of my good friends smoke cigarettes. I tend to hang out with them when they smoke, so it's weird. But I will never.
Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?
Nope. All the lockers in my high school were torn out during the summer before I came in. :(
Did you have a clique.
Not really...but I became part of the drama freaks (theatre).
Did you have a favorite hang out?
Mr. Lederer's classroom. That's where we ate lunch for 3 years. He was my 10th grade English teacher, and he was delightfully out of his mind. Had no eyebrows.
Admit it, were you popular?
A lot of people knew me...but I wouldn't say I was popular at all.
Who did you want to be just like?
I sometimes wished I was as cool as Garrett (see above)...but I never wanted to be like anyone.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I had this plan:
I was gonna learn Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy/Biology, and I WAS GONNA GROW MYSELF SOME WINGS!!
That went far. (Still have never taken Chemistry)
Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?
Never looked that far ahead really. Still can't believe it's been 11 years.
