			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stole this from my good friend,<a href="http://mccurdygirl29.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Jes</a>.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Who was your best friend?</strong>  This boy named Josh&#8230; I spent a lot of time with him.  Best friend?  Well, I moved in the middle, so for the first part, it was Rachel.  Second part, it was a lot of people:  Josh, Nickey, Melissa R., Wes&#8230; Oh, wow, I really can&#8217;t remember.  Isn&#8217;t that a sad indication of how well I stay in touch with these people?!<br />
<strong>2. Did you play any sports?</strong> Not in the first half, but once I moved to the sticks, I found I could still play sports even if I completely stunk!  So&#8230; soccer and track (the 1600m and the 3200m relay)<br />
<strong>3. What kind of car did you drive?</strong>  I was licenseless until the very end of my senior year.  But I got a lot of rides in a certain Ford Probe!<br />
<strong>4. It’s Friday night. Where were you?</strong>  603 3rd Ave!  <img src='http://www.thenaturalmommy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   Watching a movie that my boyfriend got for free from Flicks!  (It&#8217;s nice to know people in high places!).<br />
<strong>5. Were you a party animal?</strong> I went to, like&#8230; one party.  Had a Coke.  Went home.<br />
<strong>6. Were you considered a flirt?</strong> Oh, I&#8217;m sure.<br />
<strong>7. Were you in the band, orchestra or choir?</strong>  Me?  In band?  Not after junior high!  But I was in choir.  It was easier than any of the other subjects offered.<br />
<strong>8. Were you a nerd?</strong> Nope.  I tended to <em>not</em> care whether I succeeded in life.  I had very short-term goals.  It&#8217;s a good thing I was attracted to the nerd-type who likes to have a vision for the future!<br />
<strong>9. Were you ever suspended or expelled?</strong> No, but I got in trouble just the same.  Mostly for not doing homework.  See above.<br />
<strong>10. Can you sing the fight song?</strong> *<em>Tries to hum it&#8230;* </em>Nope.  During our senior pep rally, the cheerleaders went around to each class (we were divided in the bleachers by our year) and had a spirit-contest.  Every other class tried to out-scream each other with our M-E-N&#8230;D-O-T-A chant.  Our class sat there in stony silence and stared down those peppy fools with their pom-poms.<br />
<strong>11. Who was your favorite teacher?</strong>  <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">I liked Mr. Gehm&#8217;s class.  He had a comfy chair.</span><br />
<strong>12. What was your school mascot?</strong> Trojans.  Yep, we made lots of jokes.  Then, I went to college and &#8230; it was Trojans again.<br />
<strong>13. Did you go to the Prom?</strong> Yep.  I figured you only get three chances to wear dresses that pretty.  So I jumped at all three opportunities:  Junior Prom, Senior Prom, and my wedding!<br />
<strong>14. If you could go back, would you?</strong> Not to relive.  I would just want to slap myself and give myself this piece of advice:  Would you wake up, please?  You are <em>so</em> not the center of the universe.<br />
<strong>15. What do you remember most about graduation?</strong> Ha!  Haha!  I don&#8217;t think I should say this.  Do you remember <a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.stuart/music/thongson.html" target="_blank">this song</a>?  One of my friends shouted the lyrics at me as I crossed the stage.  For no reason.  *<em>Innocent look*</em><br />
<strong>16. Where were you on Senior Skip Day?</strong> Our school administration was SO UNFAIR about this nationally celebrated high school holiday.  Teachers would schedule tests, teacher&#8217;s pets would rat out skippers, and the principal threatened heightened disciplinary action.  So not many partook.  Myself included.<br />
<strong>17. Did you have a job your senior year?</strong> I was a cashier/stockboy/bagger at the local (and only) grocery store.  I also worked at the local vet to walk the dogs after hours.<br />
<strong>18. Where did you go most often for lunch?</strong> The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">cafeteria.  You mean there was another choice?</span><br />
<strong>19. Have you gained weight since then?</strong> I initially lost weight!  I had more muscle in high school and have successfully been able to drop that excess weight.  Only to gain it back as fat after the babies came.<br />
<strong>20. What did you do after graduation?</strong>  Followed my high school boyfriend to Grace College.  Then to Taylor University.  Then married him.  Then followed him to IUPUI.   Then had his child.  Then followed him to &#8230; the school he is now (ha!  I won&#8217;t tell you where we live!).  And had his second baby.  I worked for a couple years &#8211; one teaching three-year-olds, and one teaching third grade.  Now I am a stay at home mom with aspirations as huge as raising normal children who have clothes to wear and food to eat!<br />
<strong>21. What year did you graduate?</strong> 2000<br />
<strong>22. Who was your Senior Prom Date?</strong> The Hottest Guy Alive <img src='http://www.thenaturalmommy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong>23. Are you going/did you go to your 10 year reunion?</strong> I might.  Depends on whether my graduating class is still big on beer.  Hopefully they&#8217;ve settled down some and it&#8217;ll be a more family-friendly environment.</p>
<p>Wow that was fun!  You know you want to play.  When you do, leave your link in the comments so I can read yours, too!  (What, you think you get to stalk me without consequence?)</p>
