Who was your best friend?
Prairie, Cree and Benj Ross, Gypsy O’neill (though Gypsy never went to CHS), Kas Clark, Ryan Picavet, Amber and Nick Howell, Sara Abe.
I played baseball up UNTIL high school. After that, have to go with Prairie. Theater sports are the bomb!
What kind of car did you drive?
My beautiful, sky-blue 1984 VW Rabbit. I remember I let Sara and Amanda borrow it one day during lunch (what the heck was I thinking!?), and they swore that the car didn’t have a reverse. I drove Ryan’s maverick once, and slid into a ditch. That was hella fun.
It’s Friday night, where were you at?
I did Cafe al Mundo a few times. Otherwise, I was usually off running around, playing in the park, or cold chillin’ with my friends. Or at play rehearsals. Not much partying for me, back in the day.
Were you a party animal?
If I was, I think I was a party aardvark.
Were you in the “In Crowd”?
I got along well with everyone, I think. I did run for ASB prez one time, with Kas, but we didn’t win.
Ever skip school?
I skipped PE a lot to go eat McDonald’s and play in the park. It was right after lunch, so it was the perfect class to skip! Junior year Kas and I skipped our running start English 101 class to … eat McDonald’s and play in the park. Sometimes we’d eat McDonald’s and drive around, but more often than not, it was the park.
Ever smoke?
Yep.
Were you a nerd?
Were? Am! Wait … “Am you a nerd?” Stupid grammar.
Did you get suspended/expelled?
No, somehow all of my teacher’s liked me.
Can you sing the Alma Mater?
Dude, I didn’t even know that we HAD an alma mater.
Who was your favorite teacher?
Mr. Holland was awesome. I liked Mr. Fine a lot, for some reason (he called me Mr. Ferrari with an appropriate amount of ironic inflection), and Mr. Christian.
Favorite class?
English and drama. And math.
What was your school’s full name?
Colville High School
School mascot?
Indian. Because of the “Colville Indian Reservation” being right there, I suppose, but we really had very few native american’s in our school.
Did you go to Prom?
I went to prom my junior year and it was one of the lamest things I have ever done. Ever. That night sucked in every conceivable way, not the least of which someone who I didn’t even know, and who was younger than me, informing me that I was going to be a complete failure in life.
If you could go back and do it over, would you?
I dropped out a little over halfway through. Do you actually think I would go back and do it again? Well … maybe, but only if I got to bring a laser gun.
What do you remember most about graduation?
That I didn’t graduate. The GED was hella easy, though. I remember that, and that I completed it in about 1/3rd the time they say it’s supposed to take. I think they’ve made it harder since then, though.
Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
Technically, I didn’t have one. Moving to Port Townsend and working that year was an awesome experience in general, though.
Did you have a job your senior year?
See above. I worked as a busser/host at the Silverwater Cafe in Port Townsend.
Who did you date?
In order? Prairie (kinda, we never did kiss; I was way too shy), Jamie, Sara, Brooke, Amber, Heather (crazy Cheney girl!). Good times. (Mostly) Good memories.
Where did you go most often for lunch?
McDonald’s. Yuck!
Have you gained weight since then?
My body type hasn’t really changed much (still average/slightly chubby), but yeah, I’ve gained about 20 lb.
What did you do after graduation?
What haven’t I done!? Okay, well lot’s of stuff, but hey, there’s time! If I were to mention three things: graduated from Evergreen, moved to Ohio (and back), started working in libraries.
