Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be.

1. What year did you graduate?
   2002

2. Did you know your spouse?
   Nope. Met her in 2005.

3. Did you carpool to school?
   In Senior Year? Kind of, yeah. I would pick up my girlfriend and take us both to school. And yes, that was the psychotic, violent, sexually assaulting Ex.

4.What kind of car did you have?
1994 Blue Buick Century I named The Bria after Han Solo’s first ship via the A.C. Crispin Han Solo Trilogy.

1. It is Friday night… where are you?
   Typically at Red’s house playing pool, GTA 3, or Smash Brothers.

2. What kind of job did you have in school?
   For part of Senior Year, I still worked as a Cashier for a Grocery Store but I was in too many activities to keep a job.

3. Were you a party animal?
   Never and not at all. I liked being funny, I liked getting attention; but I never drank or smoked or did any drugs.

4. Were you considered a jock?
   Not really. I was in Swimming and I was a scrawny kid.

9.Who were your best friends?
I never really had best friends… really. But I’d say the closest I could say my Senior Year were Aoife, Jane… probably Buffy.

1. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
   Orchestra.

2. Were you a nerd?
   Eehh… not exactly. I was actively involved in Theater, Improve, Mimes, Orchestra, Swimming…

3. Did you get suspended or expelled?
   I never got in trouble my Senior Year. Though, after Psycho Ex clawed me across the face; I went to the nurse and vice principal and she got suspended.

4. Can you sing the fight song?
   Yes, but only because we were bloody unoriginal. We stole the Fight Song for the University of Notre Dame.

5. Who was/were your favorite High School teacher(s)?
   Peters, likely, because he is the only teacher I met who was vocal about the political bullshit holding teachers and students back.

6. Where did you sit for lunch?
   With Psycho Ex: close to the door; Solo: Student Lounge or Orchestra Room

7. What was your school’s full name?
   Valley High School

8. What was your school mascot?
   Tiger

9. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
   ONLY if I could keep my current memories. Living through it all again, exactly as it was… would be awful (and pointless). But if I could go back and re-do it? In a New York Minute.

10. Did you have fun at Prom?
    I recall that it was a very fun time. But I also remember claiming that I was okay with not having a date and instead going with a group of female friends. But that is how fucked up things were my Senior Year. It was honestly decided that it would be safer for me and any female I wanted to go to the Prom with that it was in a large group that could keep their eyes open for Psychotic Ex.

11. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with?
    None of them, sadly.

12. Are you still in contact with people from school?
    Beauty of Facebook is this question is yes and no. I know what a number of people from High School are up to thanks to Facebook… but actually talking to them? Or even wanting to? That number is closer to three. Jane, and Buffy, certainly.

13. What are/were your school’s colors?
    Black and Orange. Tigers, y’know.
