Why Not

Because copy and paste is a wonderful thing, I'm not quite ready to go to bed, and I still have chores to do....

1. Did you date someone from your High School?
Yes. The only other guy I dated other than the one I'm marrying.

2. Did you marry someone from your High School? After my first relationship which lasted about three months I intended to never marry. So nope.

3. Did you carpool to school?
I wasn't allowed to....so it was the big yellow bus for me.

4. What kind of car did you have? I didn't have one. Couple years after highschool I bought the family car from my parents. It was a 1994 blue green Ford Escort station wagon. I loved it. I eventually totalled it I guess in a very comical way. I hope the pictures are never developed.

5. What kind of car do you have now? A charcoal blue 2008 Toyota Carola S! And it rawks! I call him Beo.

6. It's Saturday night now you're....prolly working if I'm not out of town visiting family.

7. It is Saturday night then you're....prolly cleaning my room, studying, or pretending to study and doodling while rocking to music.

8. What kind of job did you have in high school?
The only job I was allowed to have was to be the nursery attendant at church. I did a lot of volunteer work through our church though, too.

9. What kind of job do you have now?
I am a registered nurse at a fairly decent community hospital. I'm nightshift which means I have street cred cause I'm tough like that. (Actually it means I get to clean up whatever didn't happen during the dayshift).

10. Were you a party animal?
IF there was ever a party going on I was prolly in the corner doodling.

11. Were you considered a flirt?
I really was just being nice cause I was too naive to flirt intentionally.

12. Were you in a band, orchestra, or choir?
Because of where my school was I was not allowed to participate in after school events.

13. Were you a nerd?
I went to a magnet school. I think we all were.

14. Did you get suspended or expelled?
I never got sent to the principal's office unless I had to decorate the bullentin board/display.

15. Can you sing the fight song?
We had a golf team...AND a tennis team...what was there to fight for????

16. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)?
Mrs. Alberty for anatomy whom I had as a teacher in middle school. She was a no-nonsense let's have fun and learn something kinda teacher who really cared about her students. Mr. Price who taught economics and a special world history class that I got to be in. He threw out the text book first week of school and made us do research and teach each other about what we learned. Very hands on but well guided class. He also helped me get mostly over my fear (I would practially stop breathing) of public speaking through his jokes and by shining his laser pointer on my papers/nose/textbook. Mr. Grabowskii and Mrs. Smith who were lit/English teachers that really got the class involved and cared about their students. Mrs. Mealing who taught anatomy and for whom I drew the picture of SuperSperm. I really hope that thing never resurfaces. You would have been in that class that day to understand. Mr. Caudle whom let me paint and draw in his class. He kinda taught French but mostly talked about his weird family. It sucked that he always picked me to go up in front of the class because I had such a good pronounciation. Mrs. Gray was lab technology. Because of her I learned how to do urinalysis the classic way and for that reason I shall never drink beer. Had to love the skeeter house. Mrs. Miller who taught my professions class. Good frigid beans I cannot remember what it was called but basically we learned the paper pushing aspect of the medical field. And because of her I finally had learned to type 21 words a minute. I started out at five. Coach Carter. She kept us fit and really kept up with intramurals since lunch hour recreation was the only really form of sports we had. She also was really forgiving that time I put the kickball into one of the ceiling lights even though she called me out. Mrs. Watkins who taught biology and let us make our own sauerkraut. She was the keeper of Satan mouse, Harry Tarantula, and the ginormous red eyed cockroaches. She also would step out the room and let us have scripture readings on most days. I prolly should have just named the teachers I didn't like because there weren't any.

17. Where did you sit during lunch?
Usually at the lunch table with my friends who were all a lot less naive than I was...or in the court yard on bright sunny days.

18. What was your school's full name?
A.R. Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet Highschool. Yeah, it was a killer to fill that out on forms for college.

19. When did you graduate?
2001 and we gave ourselves trophies for being such an epic class. (I think I might have it somewhere still if I have not lost it in the move).

20. What was your school mascot?
We were the Panthers! Though our principal would insist on us being the Jaguars.

21. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
I would skip the complete freshman year and maybe just visit a couple of the epic times.

22. Did you have fun at Prom?
Fo sho! I went with Ally, Vernee, and Amy. We had a blast and completely eliminated all those prom pressures. We met up with Shannon there. She actually had a boy to go with. TRAITOR!
*kidding*

23. Do you still talk to the person you went to prom with?
Only Vernee.....though through facebook I have kinda reconnected with Shannon.

24. Are you planning on going to your next reunion?
Yeppers. Mostly to show off my amazing husband at that time. I will prolly have to bring a copy of the marriage license because no one will believe that I found someone "good enough" to marry (and Tyler is much more awesome than good enough). Everyone thought I was very sweet and such a good girl but good gravy beans did I have them fooled. *grins impishly*

25. Do you still talk to people from school?
Mostly through facebook. It's a lot harder now that I don't live there. But I still keep up with Vernee, Cassie, Krystle, Tom, John, as well as a couple others. Cassie and Krystle are going to be my bridesmaids. And if Vernee can come I may let her be the flower girl. *KIDDING cause she would annihilate me if she ever read that*

26. School colors?
Purple and white, royal and pure, to you dear Johnson, we shall always be true! Part of our alma mater and I still have my Barney purple graduation cap and gown. I nearly fell out of my seat laughing when Prof. Balogh suggested that we just wear our highschool cap and gowns for college graduation.
