High School Tag

1. Did you date someone from your school?Yes, well we didn't really call it dating but you get the drift. Walter Kelly, Daniel Bledsoe (my favorite) and Ben Hull.

2. What kind of car did you drive? Um yeah, about that...I rode a really nice mountain bike...

3. Were you a party animal? No, I'm 100% clean, no but really I hung out with my best friend Julie when she finally came around...ha ha and I didn't really like going out with groups. I would have rather stayed at home unless it was with karena and I's little group we formed when she lived with me.

4. Were you considered a flirt? I think I was to certain guys...ugg, but overall not comparitively...I felt I was better at that with the younger guys since they didn't know my really ugly phases from middle school.

5. Were you in band, orchestra or choir? Yep, all of them, although I only did a year with "Piggy", then didn't continue with that. I really don't like Choirs. I like to sing but shoot me first if you ask me to sing in a church choir or something. It's just not fun for me. I had fun performing for choir and singing tenor and everything but not going to class everyday. Band and Orchestra were my favorite things about HS.

6. What was your most embarrassing moment in high school? Trying to think...I got pantsed (sp.?) in weight training one time. It was not cool, girls only but still I was wearing packaged underwear for some reason...not a boycut day I guess...that would have been better.

7. Were you a nerd? No I don't think people saw me as a nerd. But...I was a hardcore tomboy pretty much up until my sophomore year, so the boys never really liked me, not the ones in my grade anyway, and you know..."right back at ya" Again, I preferred the ones who didn't know me in middle school ha ha I actually think I got to be almost "cool" junior and senior year. Running the torch and being the "Queen of Quads" really helped...

8. Were you on varsity teams? Well sometimes there is no JV so yeah I was on Cross Country all 4 and Track all 4...and I always thought I'd be on Varsity Basketball but it was for me to play the Quads instead I believe, so it's a long story that I'll post soon. But it's a blessing because I needed to learn all the things I did about music and life in general from my band director. That would not have happened if I'd played basketball.

9. Did you ever get suspended/expelled? No. I got called into talk to the Dean about after lunch tardies that were totally my sisters fault so you know how I say don't worry about things you can't control,...well, I didn't. He could see I was entirely apathetic about it. He tried to give me a bit of a guilt trip. Those don't work on me, I am not guilt prone...so, he pretty much got shut down and nothing really changed. It was pretty funny.

10. Can you still sing the fight song? Of course.

11. Who were your favorite teachers? Delgadillo was the best, I liked Fullman of course, and Keel for Health. His class was so easy but at the same time I actually learned some things.

12. What was your school's full name? Moapa Valley High School

13. School mascot? Pirates

14. Did you go to the Homecoming dance and with who? I did go to them but ours were never a formal and I always hated them because there were a handful of girls in like prom dresses and the rest of us just came from the game...it was pretty dumb and I liked Stake dances so much more, even if you had to wear a lame church dress...

15. If you could go back again, would you? I wouldn't go back if it would affect the future...let's put it this way. I would go back if only I got to choose whether my actions changed things or not. It would be great to go back and do some things differently. I couldn't have played the quads any more than I did. I never missed a game or anything but let's face it, that year and a half with Earl in Spanish was a complete waste. I didn't even end up graduating honors...I should have worked harder in Cross Country and Track. I know I could have been better. I had bad luck though and always got sick. So, all in all I would change certain things and I'd love to live through it again, but I wouldn't want to change a lot either.

16. What do you remember most about graduation? I just remember joining the singing group that was to sing a song for the ceremony, and I remember that I looked great and who I walked with and the big party afterwards. The day I took my senior picture for the yearbook I passed out. That's another post...

17. Where did you go senior skip day? Well we did the lock in at the gym but there wasn't a skip day...

18. Were you in a club? Clubs at the school were pretty lame. I did sports and music.

19. Have you gained some weight since then? No, ha ha.

20. Who was your prom date? Ben

21. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? Yes.

22. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself? Take more risks, get back with daniel, and work harder on my running. I don't know.
