Am I eligible to fill out this survey?

Its only been three years since I graduated high school, though it feels like much longer. Sometimes I get really nostalgic when I think about high school, but then I remember all the things I couldn't do and I get over it pretty quick.

1. Did you date someone from your high school: Yes, on and off for two years.

2. What kind of car did you drive? My white stallion, my baby, an 03' Toyota Corolla. A generous 16th birthday gift from my dad. Still running like a charm! I will never, ever part with this car. I vow that my Corolla will be my child's first car.

3. What is your most embarrassing moment in high school?: Hmmm...one time I gloated on stage over winning an oratory competition and I got a sharp reprimand from a couple members of my speech and debate team. In my defense, it was my first tournament!

4. Were you a party animal?: Looking back, I was ridiculously sheltered.

5. Were you considered a flirt?: Ask my following of men.

.6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?: I discontinued band after middle school and choir seemed too stereotypically Mormon. Plus, Forensics was just too enticing.

7. Were you a nerd? I definitely studied more so than I do now, but I wouldn't consider myself nerdy in mannerisms or behavior.

8. Were you on any varsity teams?: No, though I wish I would've tried out for tennis.

9. Did you get suspended/expelled?: I had a couple run-ins with my teachers for various undisclosed reasons. I served detention once for being excessively late.

10. Can you still sing the fight song?: HA! I laugh because the answer is no, in case you didn't get that.

11. Who were your favorite teachers?: I wasn't particularly fond of any of my teachers in HS, they were just a means to an end.

12. Where did you sit during lunch?: The location was constantly changing. Sometimes outside, sometimes in the lunchroom, and sometimes in room 200 with Anthony Liu (those eggrolls were disgusting...what was I thinking?).

13. School Mascot?: Gators.

14. Did you go to homecoming and with who?: Yes, Mark Emptage. For some reason I decided to handmake the boutonniere. It ended up falling apart mid-dance.

15. If you could go back and do it again, would you?: Only if I could have the perspective I have now while going back. Otherwise, what's the point?

16. What do you remember most about graduation?: I didn't walk.

17. Where did you go senior skip day?: Probably had a "pamper Jessica" day.

18. Have you gained weight since then?: Unfortunately. I was a stick in HS.

19. Who was your prom date?: Mark Emptage, two years in a row. I was pretty stoked to be asked out by a senior when I was only a junior.

20. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion?: Not unless I've got something to show others up with...jk...we'll see.

21. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself?: Learn about others' lifestyles and be less judgemental if others that don't espouse the same beliefs as you. Don't try to convert your boyfriend.

Hey you!
I live in Southern California/south beach areas (there's Manhattan Beach, Redondo, El Segundo, etc).

I think you came to visit in or close to the area I lived. :)
