The Joys of High School

Fill this out about your years in high school! The longer ago it was,the more fun the answers will be!!
1. Who were your best friends? I really didn't have a particular group. I was a "floater". I spent time with the sports people on my team (though it was usually restricted to practice time), the Celest Porter crowd, the Erica Ranstrom crowd, the choir crowd, the Keely Rogers-Free crowd, etc. I remember spending a lot of time with Rebecca Pearson. I think she tended to float with me. When I got to Rexburg I spent time with Abby Jackson, Trina McBeth, Kyle Ricks and the crowds attached to them.
2. What sports did you play? I did basketball for a year until I realized how uncoordinated I felt on the court, and volleyball and softball until my sophmore year. I stopped because I moved.
3. What kind of car did you drive? I didn't have a car until my junior year (I think). It was an '84 Subaru hatchback named "Gus". The back bumper was duck-taped on. That's all I'll say about that. Lots of character. :)
4. On a Friday nights what were you doing? I stayed at home until I moved and finally decided that because I wanted friends that I would go to parties at others houses. When I got comfortable there I started throwing a lot of my own parties. Lots of nothing going on. But we had fun!
5. Were you a party animal? Not in the typical sense. Our "parties" consisted of watching a movie, eating food, and playing games.
6. Were you considered a flirt? Much to my own dismay, I found out later that I was considered to be a BIG flirt in high school.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? I was in all three at one point or another. I took band for two semesters but only played my flute for one. I was drafted into the symphonic orchestra for a special concert at the end of the year. I was a choir constant all the way through.
8. Were you a nerd? I would certainly claim the title of choir or drama nerd. What can I say? I had fun. I also tended to be in those rooms alot.
9. Did you get suspended/expelled? I got detention once in 4th or 5th grade and was mortified. Nary even a bad look from a teacher since.
10. Can you still sing the fight song? No. I don't know if I ever knew the whole thing properly anyway.
11. Who was your favorite teacher? Mrs. Peterson for helping my writing out of the dismal place it was my freshman year, Mr. Hinck for a wonderful choir experience, Mr. Haeberlie for an exciting and enlightening history class - seriously, Mrs. Madsen for making Shakespeare so alive that it had to be edited.
12. Where did you sit during lunch? Somewhere in the middle of the Commons area/lunch room. I only went off campus a few times all throughout high school.
13. Name the school full name? Blue Ridge High School, Madison High School
14. School mascot? A Yellow Jacket, Bobcat
15. School Colors?Purple & Gold, red black and grey

17. Did you go to Prom? Yes. I think I went three times.
18. If you could go back and do it again, would you? Parts of it, sure. All of it, no way.

24. Have you gained some weight since then? Is this really important? I actually lost weight, but then I had my second child and I'm currently a pant size bigger than high school.
25. Who was your Senior prom date? There was one dance my senior year that I didn't go to and I think this was it. Kyle and I decided to take someone else out every other dance and this was the every other.
