1. Who was your best friend?
My best friends in High School were SP and RB. My best friend growing up was PM, whom I've sadly lost touch with over the years. His parents and my parents still live on the same street, though.

2. What sports did you play?
None. I was too short and too skinny to play. I didn't even watch my high school or college sports teams because they usually sucked bad enough without my participation. Funny though, my college football team once had the longest losing streak in all of NCAA Division III. The one Saturday afternoon that I had an opportunity to go was the day they actually got off the schneid and broke the streak. I've always been a pro sports fan, though. I'd go to see the Red Sox or Patriots over college sports any day.

3. What kind of car did you drive?
The first car I owned on my own was a silver 1981 AMC Eagle. What a cool looking car that was. Too bad it briefly became one with a telephone pole in 1992 (10/8, one week after I became engaged.) Snapped that sucker clean in two, though! Good thing I was wearing my seatbelt. The only injury I sustained was a fractured left ring finger. The aftermath provided me with my only ambulance ride to date (strapped to a neck brace and body board, though.)

4. It's Friday night; where are you?
Back in High School I was probalbly home, at a friends house or at the Mall. In college either studying or hanging out with G and P.

5. Were you a party animal?
Absolutely!!!!! NOT.

6. Were you considered a flirt?
No way. I was way too reserved and shy.

7. Ever skip school?
Once. Senior skip day. Though my friends and I got the date wrong and skipped school a few days early, so when the "sanctioned" senior skip day arrived and we all showed up our teachers were a bit confused. As aparently were we. When we skipped we went to Rockport, MA and hung out at the beach and on the rocks at the coast. I also remember that I drove one of the vehicles (my parent's crappy 1986(?) Ford Escort, which as I parallel parked for lunch that day noticed that the odometer was sitting at exactly 20000.0 miles.)

8. Were you in any clubs?
Yes. In high school - Audio Visual and Media Club. (Remember Mr. Hayes, AG?? And the filing cabinet and the...well all of that stuff.) In college I was in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.

9. Suspended?
Never.

10. Can you sing the fight song?
We had a fight song in high school???

11. Who was your favorite teacher?
In high school my favorite teacher was my homeroom teacher Mr. Del Duca - Latin teacher extraordinaire and King of the Cheapo Scum. (Aaaaaah, you cheapo scum, you...) In middle school it was definitely Mr. Sardelis.

26. Have you changed since?
Changed? Changed how? DO you think I've changed?? Looks wise, not so much, except for the addition of facial hair. But yes, certainly in other more important areas.

27. Have you been to your high school since you graduated?
Yes, a few times. My brother and younger sister both graduated from there. I've been to a few high school football games since then because my younger sister was in the marching band all four years she went there and they performed at the games.

I'm not tagging anyone this time, so if you want to play along, do so.
