Noelle Bastian had this on her blog and I thought it was funny. She answered the questions in ways that I would never expect. I think it is interesting because high school is all consuming and now nobody cares what you did or who you were in high school. You worry so much about what you are wearing, who your friends are, where you can sit, where your locker is, etc. My favorite part of going to college was the fact that I could sit at a table all by myself and no one would care. It was very liberating. Honestly, who would ever want to go back to high school? Anyways, I love finding out what people were like when I didn't know them, or finding out how people saw themselves when I did know them. Sometimes people surprise you. So thanks Noelle for a great blog idea and here I go...
Did you date someone from your school?
Oh the poor suckers who dated me. I was the worst girlfriend ever. I was a girlfriend for maybe a month or two and I am pretty sure that person regrets it deeply. I honestly didn't have a great deal of interest in a serious relationship in high school. My parents didn't encourage it and I just wasn't good at it. I did have very great guy friends that are still great friends. I did a lot more of the friend stuff than the dating stuff. I think Bryan would even agree that I wasn't a very good girlfriend.
What kind of car did you drive?
A rocking brown 1992 Explorer or "Exploder." My grandpa passed away when I was just learning to drive and he wanted me to have his car. I was a car pool for most of my high school years. My friends put a Dave Matthews Band sticker and a Refreshments sticker on the back so you could see me from a mile away. We actually brought this very car to Ohio until it's untimely death.
Were you a party animal?
Um, can any of you honestly see me as a party animal? The answer would be no. I did have some friends that went to the senior keg just to "watch the drunk people." I let them know I was VERY disappointed in their decision. Yes, I was the girl you wanted at your party.
Were you considered a flirt?
Oh, I would have to say I was painful to watch. Nope, not a flirt. I think the only reason I got married was because we were set up.
Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
None of the above.
Were you a nerd?
I don't know if I was classified as a nerd. I think I was an inbetweener. I wasn't really a nerd but I certainly wasn't part of the cool crowd. I think being an inbetweener is my calling in life. I am really good at it. I did have a very great group of friends that I hung out with. I also liked to get good grades. So I suppose that puts me more on the nerd spectrum than the cool.
Were you on any varsity teams?
I was a varsity cheerleader my sophmore, junior and senior years. We actually took State Championship four years in a row. I was definitely not the girl that was being thrown into the air, or the cheerleader that all the boys were after. I did the throwing and yes I did have to wear the short short skirts. Good times. My advisor would be pleased to know that even after all these years I can still kick really high.
Did you ever get suspended or expelled?
All the time. Actually not so much. I did get detention once for having three tardys. That wasn't a high point for me. I had a friend that was also tardy with me, but she was excused because I was driving. She was also one of the prettiest girls in the school. I think it was discrimination, but whatever I'm not bitter.
Who were your favorite teachers?
I liked Mr. Kimball my senior AP English teacher. I really love literature and the class was challenging which I liked.
Could you still sing the fight song?
Not only sing, but do the dance as well. Our cheerleading advisor would have 6 AM practices all summer long and if we didn't have the school song memorized by the end of the summer we would not cheer. "Our school, our Evanston high school you are the one we love the best. you are the only the one and only you are the finest in the west. And may our colors of blue and scarlet all our rivals we will defend. We pledge again allegiance to you Evanston High." And even if you paid me money I would not do the dance or sing the song for you, well it would have to be a significant amount of money.
Where did you sit during lunch?
The round tables outside of the lunch room.
What was your school's full name?
Evanston High School
Did you go to Homecoming?
Yes, I think three years. I actually went six days before I turned sixteen my sophmore year. I felt so guilty and unsure that I wouldn't even stand or touch the kid the entire large group date. I don't think it was a very memorable experience for him. I went the next two years as well. I hated high school dances. There's nothing more awkward than having to bear hug dance with some sweaty high school boy you don't have no interest in and then scurrying over to your girlfriends for the fast dances knowing you look like a fool. Then your feet are killing you because you are wearing some awful shoes and pretty sure you have taco pits in the only modest dress you could find after hours of shopping.
What do you remember most about graduation?
My dad did the commencement speech and talked a bit about me which made me cry, which were probably mostly tears of joy because I was VERY ready to graduate and move on. I also had braces which made me look twelve.
Where did you go senior skip day?
I honestly don't remember. I can't even remember if I skipped. What a loser.
What was the best part of high school?
Football games. I LOVED them. I loved watching them and I actually enjoyed cheering for them. My friends would always come and we would hang out afterwords. Those were fun times.
I would have posted pictures but I am too lazy.
I think EVERYONE that reads this should participate. I would love to find out what you were like in high school.
Let me tell you to get them in these outfits with their hair fixed, sitting still and smiling at the same time...priceless.
We decided to whip out the pigtails. I was very hesitant because she seems so little but if you've got the hair, you do it.
Julia wore this tutu all day long even to the store. She is a princess and you don't mess with a princess's beauty routine or wardrobe. 
My new best friend. The 7 dollar exersaucer I bought at a garage sale for Julia still gives me those precious moments of occupying a baby while I get stuff done. Best 7 dollars spent hands down.
Meet Aurora and her prince. I don't know why this makes me laugh so hard. Maybe it's the massive proportion differences. I keep thinking the prince is going to say, "I will CRUSH you with my giant head!" But when you're desperate for a prince you resort to the Fisher Price Father that came with the dolly house. I don't think Aurora is complaining with that hulking stud of a giant man.
And here are all the princesses snug in their castle. You see which princess got the bed. Jasmine and Snow White have to make due with the floor.
Poor Cinderella was sent to sleep in the bathtub. Not only that, but also next to the giant cat. Cinderella can never catch a break.
