15. If you could go back and do it over, would you? No.
16. What do you remember most about graduation? Smiled for the camera during my speech. Lied to the door people so Ryan Hammer and I could go out to the car (no re-entry) and drink the sparkling cider my mom gave me to celebrate.

27. Did you get picked on? My dad wasn’t exactly nice. Does that count?
28. Was high school a good experience overall? Yes, but college was much more fun.
29. What would former classmates say about where you are in life now? Since I still see 3 of them on a daily basis, probably, “What are you doing for dinner tonight?”

I was going to have Stella fill it out too, but she would have obsessed and fretted about her answers for most of the day. And had I told her I was going to post it to internet, she'd have had a nervous breakdown.

Favorite: "Did you get picked on?" 'My dad wasn't exactly nice.'
Yes, Justin you are correct. I would've obsessed about it all day. Especially after Annie's acerbic wit. I would've felt that I had to one-up her. And that would be impossible.
Come on Stella. You'd have better stories than me. What about Faldmo?
I owe Leah credit for the colorguard joke.
By the way SLCUP, I really did drive a Ford Escort. And when that one wore out, we got another one. Justin named the first one "The Blue Bullet" and when my little sis inherited the second one, she named it "White Trash." She put on a bumper sticker that said, "Always late but worth the wait." I refused to drive it after that.
Mine was turquoise and had a sunroof. Damn I loved that car. When it was rear-ended two weeks days before graduation by a slut in Ford Bronco in the school parking lot, my friends that were with me gathered the pieces of my car. They later made a necklace of the pieces that I ended up wearing in our "Most Likely" photo. Maybe I'll post that tomorrow, it's a treat.
