HIGH SCHOOL MEME
In your senior year did you...
1. ...date someone from your school?
No.
2. ...marry someone from your high school?
No (see question # 1).
3. ...car pool to school?
Like everyone else I've seen answer this, I took the bus.
4. What kind of car did you have?
The Q30 was my chariot.
5. What kind of car do you have now?
A Nissan Sentra named The Executor.
6. ‘Tis Friday night...where are you now?
I don't have a set thing I do on Fridays. It depends on how I feel. I know when to go out. I know when to stay in. I've never caught a paper boy, though.
7. It is a friday night... where were you then?
Probably on the golf course or at Raz's.
8. What kind of job did you have in high school?
I worked at a deli, then briefly at a Radio Shack.
9. What kind of job do you do now?
I install and repair T1s in Manhattan.
10. Were you a party animal?
Nope. Still not.
11. Were you considered a flirt?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
12. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
No.
13. Were you a nerd?
And fiercely proud of it.
14. Did you get suspended or expelled?
Nope, no matter how much stuff we lifted from the chem lab or how many locked parts of the school we got into. We never got caught by security. "Baby, you are so talented. And they are so dumb."
15. Can you sing the school fight song?
According to Saadia, we had a school fight song. I never knew that, mostly because I saw Heathers in my first year and consequently never went to a pep rally.
16. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)?
Brodsky (whom I didn't even have), Potter and Izzo.
17. Where did you sit during lunch?
Either Gino's, study hall or the library. The lunchroom was pretty lame.
18. What was your school's full name?
Benjamin Nathan Cardozo High School.
19. When did you graduate?
1992.
20. What was your school mascot?
According to Saadia, the Scales of Justice, which actually makes sense.
21. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
Sure, I had a great time in high school.
22. Did you have fun at prom?
I didn't go to the prom.
23. Do you still talk to the person you went to prom with?
That would be very difficult (see question # 22).
24. Are you planning on going to your next reunion?
Official reunion, no. The Facebook functions are much more convenient. And cheaper.
25. Do you still talk to people from school?
Many of my best friends were those I made in high school.
26. School colors?
Apparently they were blue and orange, although I didn't know that at the time.
27. What celebrities came from your high school?
George Tenet (C.I.A.), James McBride (author, The Color of Water, The Miracle of Santa Ana), Reginald Veljohnson (actor, Die Hard, Family Matters) and, of course, Ron Jeremy (hedgehog).
28. Do you have any high school regrets?
None that mean anything anymore.
