Shameless, you can tuck me in. It's not like any of these other fuckers is going to do it.

That's a shame, Rojo. I'm imagining that when I get around to visiting my school again, the most shocking part will be to see that all of the teachers I knew are probably gone. No Mr. Griffin to sternly tell me, "Tom, you know you're not supposed to be here unless you sign in as a visitor". It'll be like going back to the house you grew up in and seeing that someone else lives there. Nostalgic, but unsettling.

Hell, I used to freak out when my teachers moved to a different room in the same hallway! I'm weird like that.^ Excellent

Okay, I'm not tired at all, but I should try to get some amount of sleep. I have already decided that I am going to this meeting in my pajamas.
This meeting is at my new job. The place hasn't even been open for 2 full weeks yet. I have a feeling this meeting is going to last about a half hour with my manager going, "You guys have done a good job" many times.
I'm wearing pajamas, and I'm bringing my gym bag so I can at least workout after the meeting and pretend get something accomplished.

Damn....I am too late....
Well, i'm still here but not for much longer.
Screw this, I am going to bed.
DAMN!
DAMN!
Aww, no love for me? 
It is funny, I didn't really know many people that went to my high school. At my 20th a couple years ago I found that I hardly knew anyone (that is, I couldn't remember most of them even though they all seemed to know who I was). I just wasn't all that interested in what high school students were interested in I guess. And even though I met my first wife at my high school (when I was 16), it wasn't like she was going to my high school.
But I wouldn't say I had a bad time in high school... I just didn't socialize with the other students much.
^I doubt I'll know many of my classmates at my 10th let alone my 20th (if, indeed, I choose to go). I've kept in touch with only one person from high school -- my best friend.
^ Thats ok I wont have a highschool reunion. I went to independent study my Jr and Sr years so we didnt have a class trip or anything.
Good lord i havent posted on the bbs in a month and there are 144 pages?! I bet no one even missed me at that rate
wrong.
Oh, we didn't have a class trip either -- at least I don't think so, I was pretty out of the loop. My high school was just pathetic. It was a pretty standard case of big city school district inequity: West Seattle High, in a nice neighborhood, was a great school; Chief Sealth High (my school), in a poor neighborhood, placed second lowest in a ranking of all Seattle high schools as to the number of students who went on to college, had 3 second-year math books in the whole school, had mushrooms growing in the library, and in my three and a half years of (so-called) attendance, there were two gang shootings and a burnt body found in the football rafters. They didn't even offer AP courses -- it was no wonder I felt I could learn more on my own than at school. The only cool thing about my school is that it's the most diverse school in the country. It was no surprise that I graduated third in my class even with my 50% attendance. My best friend and I were only two from my graduating class who went to out-of-state universities.
My school was populated almost entirely by the kind of people for whom high school was the time of their lives. I've nothing against those people, but they're not my kind of people.
I enjoyed my high school time but i wouldn't wanna go back.
Yeah, High School wasn't really all that great. The education is pretty lame except for electives, I din't really learn anything, so 4 and a half out of those 6 hours a day were pretty lame. The social scene was pretty craptacular for me, since I use big words and have a sense of humor that wasn't programmed onto me by MTV.
How dare you sir!
I went to highschool with the kids that tormented me all through middle school (junior high) and the contenued to do so until I joined wrestling. Then I became the dike, only in it to grope, sadist. ETC. It took me pouring an entire bottle of soda (pop) on a kid who was harassing me for kids to back off a little. I was littereally chased out of my school by bullying. To the point that I had guns pointed at me, I had a knife put to my chest. Eventually I told my parents what was going on when they noticed the bruised on my arms and back my sophmore year. When we told the cops what happened they did some investigating and told me the best option was to change schools. Seeing as the only other highschool in my town was trading trouble students back and forth my family and I opted for independent study. Best choice we ever made. My grades improved, I could focus on learing instead of who was bullying me or worrying about what ridicule I faced if I aswered the teachers questions.
The one thing I loved most about high school was returning SR year for prom night and the people who picked on me the most for being the "ugly duckling" seeing just how pretty I turned out.
I hated highschool. 1/3 of the population when asked anonomously admitted to carrying a weapon with them to school regularly. It was not a nice school whatsoever.

^Trouble is that he's right, ya know.
What a difference a new pair of shoes makes. Wore my new Nikes this morning. It's now 10pm and there's still spring in my step and I'm wide awake.....
