High School Survey, Borrowed from Mocksie:

You're a freshman. What year is it?
1980 - 1981

What were your three favorite bands?
For all of high school, right? I still loved The Beatles, and as far as bands go, I liked Air Supply and Journey.

What was your favorite outfit?
I loved all my pleated dress pants, and my favorite shirt was a sky blue blouse with tuxedo shirt pleats and a black ribbon around the collar.
Trust me, in 1983 it was cool.

What was up with your hair?

Aqua net, that's what. I got up 90 minutes early just to wash it, blow dry it, and painstakingly curl every single strand of hair back, comb it feathered back to Perfection, and shellaq it with Aqua Net.
Sorry, I don't know how to spell shellaque, whatever.

Who were your best friends?
Charleen and Renee. Sometimes Tricia. That's it as far as best friends.

What did you do after school?
Oh, BAND PRACTICE. And MORE Band Practice. And MORE. And MORE.

Where did you work?
I didn't get a job until I finished high school. As soon as I graduated I got a job at Petrie's clothing store.

Did you take the bus?
Nope, I walked the mile or two carrying a tenor saxaphone the whole way. My junior year I had my license and could drive, except for periods of time after I had wrecked the car/truck.

Who did you have a crush on?
Paul M. Everyone had a crush on Paul M.

Did you fight with your parents?
Fight? Hell no. I had never been hit by them, other than spankings as a small child, but I'm pretty sure I would have been hit if I had talked back as a teenager.

Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
Heh. Michael Jackson. Stop laughing. It was the BLACK Michael Jackson. He was cool. I swear. Stop laughing now.

Did you smoke cigarettes?
Nope, never smoked a cigarette in my life.

Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?
HAH! This is where there's a big difference from when I was in high school. Only dweebs and nerds had backpacks when I was in high school!!! Usually not even THEY were dweeby enough to have a backpack! We ALWAYS used our lockers and carried our books by hand. These days high schools around here don't even provide lockers.

Did you have a 'clique'?
I had lots of cliques, usually organized around band members. Charleen/Renee/Tricia/Jill/Louie. Eric/Robert/Robert/Sherwin. Filipino girls in the library who hid me out when crazy Darlene wanted to kill me for... whatever, I never even LOOKED at her boyfriend, and in that instance it was the truth!

Did you have a "Max" like Zach, Kelly and Slater?
What the hell is this question about???

Admit it, were you popular?
I was probably as popular as a band member gets. I actually was more popular than I wanted to be - I was a quiet, book & music (and boy) loving girl, and I didn't like to be around people ALL THE FREAKING TIME, but wherever I was, there were little geeky boys wanting to sit with me. No, I don't think I was popular. But I was liked well enough.

Who did you want to be just like?
Hmmmm... I kinda liked myself... but I also wanted to be popular like Julie C. who ran cross country and was nice, Valerie who I hated but all the boys somehow thought she had fantastic legs (Whatever!), or Yvette who wasn't really pretty at all but still was wildly popular.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
A musician or a writer.
