Okay, I'll be the first. I think we all still have that "OMG you don't tell people these things" instinct because of our conditioning, but you're right, what to we have to lose?
1. Who was your AP kid crush? There was never really a big one. I've always admired Lindsay Baltus's writing prowess, but the crush part of that was purely middle school. Lauren Powers and Annie Thompson are two who I liked for decent periods of time. Certainly not the only two, but I won't go through the whole list of everybody I've been kind of interested in at some point...not in this comment anyway. :)
2. Do you look back at Wilson with fond memories or by shaking your head with a distasteful grimace? Mostly fond memories, but don't get me wrong, I have had more than my share of bad situations, some that were my fault and some that just didn't seem fair. I was not free from drama with friends or from very painful learning experiences. That said, I tend to separate those instances from all of the amazing time spent with the people I know and love (plus connect four club made it all better).
3. What's the craziest thing you've done that we would be really surprised to know you did? I told my parents that I was sleeping over at a friend's house, and then spent the entire night until the sun rose the next morning with Maggie in Willamette Park.
4) What is the biggest misnomer that people always assume about you that just isn't true? That I'm happy all of the time. I smile, and I'm not faking it, but while I grin looking at somebody's funny picture that they drew on the whiteboard in spanish class, there are times when I'm just allowing myself to be distracted from what's going on inside of me. I smile a lot, I laugh, and I don't get mad at people easily, but that doesn't mean I'm particularly pleased with how things are going at the moment.
5) What is one regret you have about high school, or something you wish you had done but didn't? I made it my biggest objective at the start of senior year to leave NOTHING to "I wish I had done that..." and I think I accomplished it. I was able to see this question coming, and I did as much as possible to pre-emptively attack it. My only regret was not adopting the "Don't let a rule keep you from doing a good thing" policy sooner. (though my definition of "a good thing" isn't "what feels good". My rebellious senior year didn't include drugs, sex, or alcohol.)
6) If you could have been anyone else at school for a day to experience their lives in that mtv show Why Cant I Be You, who would you have been, and why? I haven't seen the show...but I'll go with Anna Diem. I don't know her very well, but I became convinced that she had a great grasp on reality and was probably smarter (beyond the calculating derivatives sense) than I was. I would have liked to have known what she saw from day to day and how her life provoked the things she said in psychology that made a lot of sense. After reading the question again though, it seems to be more of a "who did you envy" and my answer doesn't have to do with that. To answer "who did you envy"...I'll go with Ian Anderson on game day. Amazing guy, and blessed with natural talent that would have made loving the game a lot easier for me.
yeah i guessss ill do itducknamedpumbaJuly 14 2006, 19:11:52 UTC
1. Who was your AP kid crush? I don't think he reads this, but if he does, jon kadish i had a crush on you back in the day for sure. He's soo funny and aarogant, i coulnd't help it.
2.Do you look back at Wilson with fond memories or by shaking your head with a distasteful grimace? It goes by year. Freshman year=grimace. Sophomore year=smile.Junior and senior years=both. I think I had themost fun sophomore year.
3.What's the craziest thing you've done that we would be really surprised to know you did? HAHA sorry guys, this one remains disclosed. Oh, but one time i kareoked to shakira in front of 200 latinos at the cinco de mayo festival and got a standing ovation, that was sweet...but probably not suprising if youve ever taken spanish with me, i like to belt shakira a lot.
4.What is the biggest misnomer that people always assume about you that just isn't true? I'm Jewish. Therefore, i know everything about the old testement, keep shabbat, and pray to god every 10 minutes, especially if i broke a kosher law. For starters, im not jewish by belief, just by heritage. From there, the differences keep on steming.
5.What is one regret you have about high school, or something you wish you had done but didn't? I kind of wish i tried out for the Rose Court in retrospect, and I kinda wish I was more outgoing instead of bitter so i wouldn't have gotten soo bored towards the end.
6.If you could have been anyone else at school for a day to experience their lives in that mtv show Why Cant I Be You, who would you have been, and why?Adam Anderson, i want to get inside that kids head so badly. THat would be fascinating. Or kaylee,so i could understand how/why she works and see high school from that perspective.
Is someone else going to have the balls to come forward and write one?
