I got along with everyone. Of course, when you sing in full voice "OOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA WHERE THE WIND . . . . . . " while loping down the halls, it is hard for people to hate youi

Actually, I was a little like Stella Mayfair in High School

We should give the entire state north of Baton Rouge to Arkansas. What the hell were you doing in "Shreve pit" anyway? God, I hate that place. Somebody should burn it to the ground. Worthless.

I hated school and aside from one or two people, I don't really care about anyone I went to school with.
We don't really have school reunions here but if we did, I certainly wouldn't go. I'm still in touch with the people I want to be in touch with, so what's the point?

Well, I don't know. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I went to the only high school in the country that didn't have a drama dept.

I didn't hate high school, but I certainly didn't enjoy it. I attended two different schools - transferred after my sophomore year to another school in the same county. Both were rural schools (the one I graduated from moreso than the other), so there was plenty of "small-town politics" BS..... so if one had a certain last name you could pretty much get away with anything.

I was kind of in the middle clique, which is the worst place to be stuck.

Not popular, not unpopular, a joiner but not an over-joiner, etc. I only keep in contact with a handful of people, and most of that is sporadic. My ten year reunion is next year, don't know if I'll go or not. There's a few teachers I'd like to see more than anyone.

oh god. that's even worse. I was so mean to teachers and such a stuck up snot. they all hated me. there were only a couple I liked. and that's mostly because I constantly had visions of them in their underwear.

I was the drama department in my high school

We were fishing in Toledo Bend in the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. It is no place I want to go back to. AND - when I graduated law school, I was offered a job there, which I actually considered taking

I'm not one of those freaky germ people like you and Paula.

I'm not a freak about germs!

I think I even let you have a sip of my Tostito!

Looking back on high school, I had a f*cking blast. I got made fun of a good amount (acne, being a headbanger chick) but I had great friends & we had our own little clique - we were too cool for school, baby. Plus most of my friends (and my BF at the time) were all between 2 & 4 years older than me, so I didn't really hang much with the people I went to classes with. I went to both my proms - what a bore they were.

I didn't bother with the 10 year reunion - I still see lots of those people around, didn't feel the need to go. But I'll try & make the 20th in 2013 - I like Sparky's take on the whole thing. I think it will be fun & interesting & sad & hilarious.
