1) Were you a bully, nerdboy, loser, or invisible other in high school?
-Combo nerdgirl, loser, amateur mental patient.
2) Do you think that kids can be so mean as to justify going Columbine? Any sympathy for the picked on nerds that strike back?
-yes I do, and I had a little bit of sympathy... but not much. I made it out, sans murder spree... they could have too.
3) Did you love going to high school and the whole popularity contests, school spirit, having your voice crack, growing hair in strange places, and popping zits? Or did you cut classes and are just happy to have made it out of that hell hole alive and with some shred of sanity?
-ever so glad it's over... the sanity part is debatable
4) So do you now understand why you had to learn Algerbra, history, and industrial arts? Aren't you using it everyday?
-only useful application for Geometry that I ever saw, was in the book "Tommyknockers". The rest, I thank god for "Turbo-Tax"
5) Name the best things about going to high school (significant events like losing your virginity etc.).
-I've mentioned this before, I went to boarding school. While it did suck on many levels, I was glad to get away from home.
6) Any teachers/administators that you would have loved to see keel over and die?
-nah, more like shut up and leave me alone.
7) Ever have a crush on a teacher and/or an affair that you now feel safe in revealing?
-nope, but my Latin teacher was "escorted off the school grounds" after one of his affairs came to light.... with a student. And it wasn't the first time he was schtupping a student. <G>
He was considered the most handsome guy at school. Did I mention this was an all girl's school?
8) Did you feel the need to act like a moron or did you take pride in being the first nerd to raise your hand to answer the tough questions?
-well my grades sucked, I hate studying... But I always enjoyed flaunting my "wierdness". The highlight of my day would be when I could make someone say "oh my god you're so WIERD!".
9) Do anything that you regret in high school (like beat the crap out of kids or moon the janitor)?
-When I went off to college I had a 'readjustment' period for a while boys in the classroom was very very odd & scary to me. Then I got over it.
10) Have you gone to any reunions or do you plan to or are you just going to forget that high school ever happened until you can track down the people you hated and gut them like fish?
-Who knows. I've never gone to one, but I've always thought it'd be funny to hire a female escort to go with me as my "other half" or maybe a couple... as in boy-girl, not two women but that would could be fun too.
But I probably won't. I have no desire to see them again. I figure, you lose touch with these people for a reason ergo <G> the touch should stay lost.
