I’m Hearing: Mushroomhead songs in my mind

1. nickname in high school?
I never had nicknames by friends…or even by people who hated me…I dished plenty out but never had one myself.

2. sport you were into?
watching football, I suppose

3. had a circle of friends? how many were you?
One really good friend, Sarah, and 3 or 4 other people I spent time with on occasion.

4. best subject?
Art for sure…English and Creative Writing were next best.

5. worst subject?
Social Studies. I always hated anything dealing with sociology or history…I sucked terribly and never had the slightest interest.

6. a teacher you owe life lessons to?
Mrs. W…she was the writing teacher who gave me the opportunity to help teach creative writing and thus set me up for the course of my life…from that I met Jonathan and thus began a path that has led me to where I am now.

7. a teacher you wanna kick in the ass?
My art teacher…he was such a bastard to me and so many of my classmates, dishing out horribly low grades for art projects.

describe in one word…

12. your best friend was?

14. cafeteria food sucked?
Never really knew, I brought a bag lunch with me through most of it, or ate out at fast food places

15. most hilarious school rule?
They were so nazi-like in taking attendance that if you were more than 5 min late, you were marked absent and the school called your house at suppertime and left an automated message saying "Your student missed one or more classes today." So the next day you had to go to the attendance office and get the mistake taken care of…annoying as shit.

16. wore uniforms?
Not officially, but if you didn’t wear the trendiest of clothes, you stood out, so I suppose that is a uniform of sorts.

17. how was the prom?
It was…..a prom….I didn’t want to go at all, so I can tell you it wasn’t the highlight of my existence.

18. who was prom king and queen?
I think it was Adam and Diana that year…she was really nice and lent me her homecoming dress for prom (which I had dry-cleaned and ruined ^^;;;;;;;;;)

19. any achievements?
Always had some type of academic recognition…graduated with highest honors, national honor society, etc. Didn’t really try for that though…was just something that happened because I worked hard.

20. were you popular?
More like antipopular. I didn’t fit in anywhere.

21. best song that reminds you of high school?
Semi-charmed Life by Third Eye Blind

22. unforgettable high school crush?
Way too many….most notably Adam and Jeremiah.

23. most embarrassing moment?
Asking this guy Jim out in a letter then having him turn me down in the middle of the hallway in front of lots of people.

24. memory you’d like to forget about high school?
In junior year when this group of girls I used to hang out with basically abandoned me after I defended a friend who was coming out of the closet. I got a long letter describing all the things they hated about me and why I was too depressing to hang out with. It was the loneliest time of my entire life because I found out that even my closest friend had been part of that. I was, at that point, completely alone. I didn’t eat for a week. I am never ever ever going to forget what that was like.

25. best memory?
Being with Adam…he was my first love.

26. any regrets?
The things I regret are things I had no control over so I guess that just means I wish things had been different.

27. would you like your "future child" to attend your high school?
Abso-fucking-lutely NOT. First off I am not going to have children, secondly, I don’t want anyone I care about to have to deal with that kind of shit.

28. were the bathrooms clean?
For the most part, I guess. They weren’t filthy. Then again, they were girls’ bathrooms, so…yeah.

29. how were the lunch ladies?
Beats the hell out of me, never knew them.

30. lyrics would best describe your high school life:
hmmmmmm….anything sad and depressing and lonely and desperate and love-starved……
