1. Who was your best friend? I guess it was the Me-Nate-Meg Triumvirate.
2. What sports did you play? "Impressin the ladies", "Sobbing quietly into my pillow"
3. What kind of car did you drive?Black 2001 Ford ZX2 (Yes... I remember the Red Focus)
4. It's Friday night, where were you? Probably at church... always at church.
5. Were you a party animal? I was pretty social with my youth group, and we hung out a lot, but the joke was that they were "get-togethers" rather than parties because of a definite lack of alcohol and sexing.
6. Were you a flirt? No. I don't think I knew how to. Not well, at least.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Choir, as a result of "well, I've never done this before. . . might as well give it a chance"
8. Were you a nerd? Probably.
9. Did you get suspended or expelled? No. The closest I got into trouble was drilling a hole into a math book in shop class.
10. Can you sing the fight song? "Go Oak Park, You're awesome, totally cool and everyone wants to hang out with you, Nobody hates you . . . except maybe your parents..." I think that's how it went
11. Who were your favorite teachers? Mr. Mayabb is the only one I can name, honestly.
12. Where did you sit during lunch? I was in the group of guys (Jacob Horowitz, Jamison Devine, Nathan Magers, Andy Cudzilo) that sat outside everyday, rain, shine, or snow. Usually it was in the senior courtyard, but when it was locked, we ate behind the theater.
13. What is your schools full name? Oak Park High School
14. School mascot? Norman The Northman
15. Did you go to Prom? No.
16. If you could go back and do it over, would you? Never. Why would I do that again?
17. What do you remember most about graduation? Thinking "This is it? this is the culmination of 13 years of public school. This sucks."
18. What was your favorite class to skip? I never skipped a class.
19. Did you have a job your senior year? I worked as a sales clerk/knowledgeless Bible salesman at Omega Christian bookstore
20. Where did you go most often for lunch? Senior Courtyard, see above.
21. Have you gained weight since then? Gained and lost, gained and lost, etc.
22. What did you do after graduation? I went to Mexico on a missions trip that summer, so I think that counts.
23. Did you go to your high school reunion? Our 5 year past a year ago, and apparently there were people who were upset that nothing was planned. As it is, I've more or less forgotten everyone in High School, so a Reunion would essentially be described as "go to the place and meet all these people again, people that you probably didn't like the first time around . . . that's why you blocked them out".

Ok... first things first...
To mr. aaron bratcher, for your stellar use of the word "Triumvirate" i award 20 points to Gryffindor, (or Hufflepuff, depending on how much value you place in your wristband)
2. I laughed so hard when i read "sobbing into my pillow"
3. Yes, its weird how many people have the red Foci in their memories...I don't know if I could ever sell it.
4. I'm listening to George Michael, and you are jealous.
5. I'm so excited you're back!!!
I actually thought about the issue of House placement. Most of my friends always loved the main people and main things in a video game or a movie, etc. They always wanted to be Wolverine in the XMen and Ryu in Street Fighter (AKA the main people), while I preferred Gambit and Vega, respectively. So many would probably throw their lot in with Gryffindor because, hey, you'd get to hang out with HP, but I'd probably pick Ravenclaw. I'm not enough of a slick bastard to be in Slytherin, and I always thought Hufflepuff sounded like a House that only little girls and gay boys would love (much akin to the "gems" team in middle school).
My luck, though, friggin Sorting hat would throw me in Hufflepuff because it'd know that'd piss me off.
I actually considered the red Foci when choosing my own car, I didn't want to drive the same car as someone I knew, so I went with the ZX2 (it was obliterated a year later, so it didn't really matter much).
I'm glad you take delight in my misery (#2). Unless, of course, you picked up that the first half of that answer was in direct relation to the second half, then yes, it was meant to be funny.
This is how we do it still, right? responding in our own posts' comments? I'm a little rusty here.
Oh my...the Gems...I'd forgotten that...Let's see...I was a Hero, then a Dragon...then i don't remember 8th grade team names...
Warrior...yes I do...even in middle school they new I wouldn't shy from battle...
