Killer Kool-Aid, Ditchin Econ & Krystal Burgers

I can’t resist a cutsie little meme for days when my brain just won’t cooperate.
This is one of them there days.
I was slapped right on the ass by Michelle at Acheiving New Balance.  I loved her answers.  She was a damn rebel back in the day.  You go girl!
Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school!  The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be. Change the subject to the year you graduated.
1. Who was your best friend(s)?    This crazy bitch named Linda.  She graduated a year ahead of me, but she came almost everyday for lunch and we were always out creating havoc on weekends.

 
2. What sports did you play? I played nothing, I tell ya, nothing.  I played Volleyball my freshman year before I got pregnant and had to do homeschooling for a semester.
 
3. What kind of car did you drive? I had a super-un-cool Datsun hatchback.  But it was all mine.

4. It’s Friday night, where were you? Normally out running the roads with Linda.  Then we’d end up at one of our houses.

5. Were you a party animal? I won’t say I was a party animal.  I was a stupid kid though.  The few times we did party, we got stupid.  All I can say is that to this day, the smell of Fruit Punch makes me throw up a little bit.

6. Were you considered a flirt?  No, by the time I was a senior, I already had a kid and I was hooked up with Pizza Boy and about to get married as soon as I graduated…..  ooops.

7. Ever skip school?  I ditched 6th period so much that I had to scrap together a shit pot of extra credit essays in Economics just to get to graduate.  Mrs. Bressler absolutely hated me by the time the end of the year came and only passed me so I wouldn’t come back.

8. Were you a nerd?  I wasn’t anything really… Not a nerd, not a jock, not a goth, not one of the popular kids…. I just kind of blended in…

9. Were you in any clubs? Nope.  I was too busy being stuck up Pizza Boy’s ass to give a crap about anything that might increase my chances of being successful later in life.

 
10. Did you get suspended/expelled? I got in school suspension a couple of times my senior year for ditching 6th period.

11. Can you sing the fight song? Uhhhh, I’m guessing that we probably had one, but I don’t have a clue what the name of it was…

12. Who was your favorite teacher?  Mr. MacPherson.  And the man is still there.  My kid has his American History class this semester.  He was a cool cat back then, and apparently is still one of the favorites of today’s whippersnappers too.

13. Favorite class?  I was diggin Film/Theater Studies.  All we did was watch classic movies.  This class first introduced me to Gone With the Wind, Casablanca and West Side Story.

14. What was your schools full name? Powell High School (pretty  boring, eh?)

15. School mascot?

16. Did you go to dances?  Nope.  The asshat Pizza Boy didn’t do dances or any kind of silly “kid crap”. He was more about gettin high and gettin laid.
17. If you could go back and do anything over, would you? I would have been a kid.  Not all serious about Pizza Boy.   I would have been a flirt, went to football games and dances…  like a normal kid.

18. What do you remember most about graduation?  Oh Lawd, I’m so sick of saying his name, but he was a mainstay my senior year…. I remember that dick didn’t bother to show up at my graduation because he had gotten stoned and ended up watching cartoons all day.
19. Did you have a job your senior year? Yep, I worked at the Krystal.  And to this day, I want to puke when I smell a Krystal burger.


20. Are you going to your ten year reunion?  My 10 year has come and gone… twice… OMG.  I’m getting old.  My 20 year reunion would have been this year, but the ditzy bitch (Besty, yes her name was Betsy) who was class President was a flake then and apparently is still a flake now… Our class hasn’t had a single reunion….  And no, I would most likely not go.

  1. NIce to see you back even if it’s with a meme.

  2. lol…sounds like “Pizza Boy” was a REALLLLL winner.

  3. I love Krystal’s. We don’t have any close enough to me to get any these days. I really must move back South!

  4. I loved your answers! #3 and #19 were my favorite!

  5. Happy Days, eh? When I was at school, my parents both made it clear they believed that school was a pretty shit experience and that things got much better once you were out in the real world. And they were definitely right…

  6. I WANT ME A Krystal burger !!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Krystal burgers look an awful lot like a White Castle burger are they the same thing?

  8. krystal burgers look like White Castle here …are they just as good ??

  9. Hey girl! It’s me, formally known as Punch Drunk. Just saw you were up and running again, I know you were taking a break. Hope things are going good for you & back to normal. Guess I need to catch up. Take care. xoxo

  10. I’m a bit late, eh? Loved your answers. My husband is the same way about dancing as Pizza Boy was (except it’s not called “kid stuff”). WTH? I love him though, but I miss going out…
    Those Krystal burgers look good.

  11. Krystal’s is an acquired taste, but I may just have to do this meme tomorrow. Brings back memories to be sure.

    Having no kids and no longer teaching, school starting just means I have to watch for the dreaded blinking lights at the school zones and slow to a crawl through them again.

  12. Wow brutally honest and cathartic. Isn’t it cool that we evolve? The only problem is that we cannot go back with the knowledge that we so painfully accumulate. If we did we’d upset the space/time continuum thingamabob and change everybody’s History.

    Then doesn’t matter now. Now is happening and it’s what it is…how you deal with it is what really matters.
    I hope that the universe is unfolding as it should.
    Thanks for being so forthright and brave.

  13. Yeah, Ms. Burroughs hasn’t changed a bit.
