High School Tag

These Blog "Tag Games" are kind of fun. This is another one from my sister who must have WAY more blogger friends that I do. (Where do you get this stuff anyway?! ;)
It looked like fun, so I thought I'd play along, although my answers won't be as cheerful and full as sunshine....

High School Tag
1. DID YOU DATE SOMEONE FROM YOUR SCHOOL?
Of course, doesn't everyone?
2.WHAT KIND OF CAR DID YOU DRIVE?
"Sunny" the amazing Sunshine Yellow, 1978 Toyota Celica. Which, for the record, was MY car first! I paid a whopping $500 for him!

3. DID YOU PASS YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE TEST YOUR FIRST TRY?
Yes. But I had driver's training. Ran a red light or two during that and the teacher threatened to fail me more than once. But, amazingly, I passed.
4. WERE YOU A PARTY ANIMAL?
What is the definition of "party animal?" I had friends. We hung out. Very few actual "parties", but we had fun.
5. WERE YOU CONSIDERED A FLIRT?
I had my moments. But I don't think so...

6. WERE YOU IN BAND, ORCHESTRA, OR CHOIR?
Choir, of course. But, I was also a band nerd. I was only officially in one semester of band, but that was just so I could "legally" join the pep band and get into all the games for free. And so I could go to band camp. Yup, I said it. Band camp.


7. WERE YOU A NERD?
YES. Most definitely. But a very cool nerd. I was the queen of the nerds. All the nerdy boys wanted to date me. It's true.
8. WERE YOU ON ANY VARSITY TEAMS?
I am not a very "sporty" person. But, I did go to lots of games.
9. DID YOU EVER GET SUSPENDED/EXPELLED?
Nope, my evil deeds were never known..... *wink*
10. CAN YOU STILL SING THE FIGHT SONG?
YUP!
"We took the blue from the sky on a bright summer's day and the blue from the rolling sea...
White from the lilly that blooms in May and carried them to victory.
Oh we're proud of our school 'cause we win every duel and if not spirit still is HIGH!
For we'll rise triumphant, victorious in the end, for we are SKYLINE HIGH!"

11. WHO WERE YOUR FAVORITE TEACHERS?
In high school?? umm... Mr. Dunmire (band)... Mr. Brown (chemistry), Mrs. Roberts (Computers, and she lived across the street), The government teacher (old guy with white hair, can't think of his name), There's probably others, but that was a LONG time ago!
12. WHERE DID YOU SIT FOR LUNCH?
Depends. Hung out in the seminary building most of sophomore year. Spent a lot of time in the band room junior and senior year. I also went home a lot once I had a car.
13. WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S FULL NAME?
Skyline High School
14. WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S MASCOT AND COLORS?
The GRIZZLIES! Light Blue, Dark Blue and White
15. WHO WAS HOMECOMING ROYALTY?
Does anyone care? Seriously? I have no idea. I never even went to homecoming.
16. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN WOULD YOU?
Not a chance.
17. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST ABOUT GRADUATION?
The all night party. Karaoke. Fun.


18. WHERE DID YOU GO SENIOR SKIP DAY?
Was that the day we went to Lagoon? I don't remember.
19. WERE YOU IN ANY CLUBS?
Not really. Not officially anyway...
20. HAVE YOU GAINED SOME WEIGHT SINCE THEN?
Yup. 3 kids will do that to you.
21.WHO WAS YOUR PROM DATE?
Junior year - Dennis Brown (I found out later that my brother paid him to take me how very sad for me)
Senior year - Jon Lofthouse

22. ARE YOU PLANNING ON GOING TO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION?
Just went this summer. I think I've seen enough of those people. I don't know if I'll go to another one.
23. DID YOU HAVE A JOB IN HIGH SCHOOL?
Yup. Little Caesar's Pizza for a year and a half.
24. WERE YOU AN HONOR STUDENT?
I had straight A's the first semester of my sophomore year. Kinda went downhill after that.
25. DID YOU TAKE SEMINARY?
Yes, of course.
26. WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOUR MOST FUN TIME?
Tough one. Probably hanging out with friends. When there wasn't crazy drama...
27. WERE YOU CONSIDERED SHY OR OUTGOING?
I think most people thought I was shy. But I could get crazy load too.
28. ANY LAST MEMORIES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
Not really, just glad it's over and I never have to do it again!

Your right Layney - Not much "Sunshine" there! I'm glad you had a picture of Sunny! The only one I could find was half of his backside way off in the background. All the pictures from my Sr. year are still at Mom and Dad's place. I was planning to get them when I was home for Christmas, but I forgot!
Thanks for playing the game, it can be fun to look back and remember... for some more than others I guess!
I think Sunny served his purpose - $500 and 4 drivers later... He deserves to retire ;)

I love you Sister!

Just for the record, I did NOT pay Dennis to take you out. Dennis had the hots for you. I just gave him a push! I may have helped with the cost of food or something, but I don't remember.

Seems like there is something else I should set straight.

Leave it to Chad to get five girls on his Futon.

Who's the really hot chick in that graduation pic with you and Lofthouse?

Hmmmm... I remember the yellow car. Not to mention that it was the ballgame-mobile for a while too.

so what are these "evil deeds" of which you made mention? hehehe I take it Gavin is the brother who paid your date? Thats not bad. My junior prom date is now my sister's husband and my senior prom date was my freshman nextdoor neighbor because I had just broken up with my mohawked boyfriend because he wanted to marry me... your car: awesome! I want to know what you hung from that rearview mirror :D
