To mark this visit to LJland with a survey.
[What year did you graduate from highschool?]
1998
[What were your three favorite bands?]
I think I liked Cocteau Twins, Bela Fleck, and Morphine a lot back then...and Steely Dan....Jethro Tull...
[What was your favorite outfit?]
I think I just ended up wearing khacki shorts/pants and a plain tee-shirt most of the time. I tried to look cute sometimes, but usually got frustrated and hated my selection. I do remember proudly sporting some fitting black pants and either a shiny blue shirt or gold trimmed vest.
[What was up with your hair?]
I was afraid to do anything too interesting. One day, per the suggestion of my DAD, whose advice I'll never take again regarding hair, I cut some bangs like I had when I was 5. :( It didn't help my confidence at all. Then one day my mom took me to get highlights and layers. BAM, I felt cool.
[Who were your best friends?]
they were either online or here on a temporary basis from foreign lands. or they went to other schools...Alan C, Amanda D, Noelle G...
[What did you do after school?]
Marching band, Jazz band, Concert band & Student Government meetings. I also used to work out at a fitness club. OH, and in my 11th year we housed a japanese exchange student, so I had to keep up with her.
[Did you take the bus?]
Yes, for the first couple years until I got a Volvo - my first car.

No way man, my body was a fuckin' temple. Besides, I was around my parents and teachers so much that it's not like I would have had time to pick up any bad habits...
[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
