Since the day seems to be shot to meme-sheepage hell anyway:
Nickname in high school?
Hell, nobody even registered the fact of my existence. If I'm remembered at all it's probably as "the girl with the socks" for my efforts to keep warm in the ridiculous uniform.
Sport you were into?
Avoiding sports.
Had a circle of friends?
Well, it wasn't exactly large enough to be regarded as a "circle"... a "coterie", perhaps.
Best subject?
Oddly enough, religion. I once got a "C" for being too good at retelling a Bible story in my own words, which I managed to appeal into an "A" by arguing that I'd written out the whole thing in the school library in the presence of a nun.
Worst subject?
Geometry. Dyslexia kills.
A teacher you owe life lessons to?
The geometry teacher, for the negative life-lesson about not trusting people to do their jobs. I had her for two subjects in that year; she managed to send home a warning notice about my grades in one of the classes, but not the other, thereby disqualifying me for consideration in the National Honor Society selection process which was going on at the time when I pulled up my grade in the class I knew about the problem in but not in the one I didn't. (My coterie of geek friends were visibly stunned when I wasn't called down to the NHS announcement meeting with them, I can still see their faces...)
Describe in one word...
Freshman (year 9): Boredom.
Sophomore (year 10): CrushingBoredom.
Junior (year 11): ByeBye!
Senior (year 12): Skipped.
Worst friend?
Er, well, if they were "worst" then they weren't really your friend, right?
How was the prom?
I'm not sure the straitlaced Franciscan sisters let us have a prom; our dances et al were done in conjunction with the all-male Gordon Tech, so I presume we'd have been expected to troop subserviently over to theirs. In any event, I took off before the question became relevant.
Who were the prom king and queen?
See above.
Any achievements?
Define "achievements". I suppose qualifying to get the fuck out during the first month of junior year might count as some sort of an achievement, but not necessarily school-related.
Were you popular?
For a sufficiently narrow definition of "popular", why, yes, you could say that I was. :)
Best song that reminds you of high school?
Brace yourself for some 80's nostalgia... Braced? Okay, then, the song that comes immediately to mind is "Take On Me" (a-ha), for no particular reason other than that I was the only one of the geeks I hung out with who didn't get to go to a concert of theirs. But it was all good, I tell you, all of it! Even the stuff with creepy synthesizer work! ESPECIALLY the stuff with creepy synthesizer work! [pant pant foam] ... Okay, I'm better now.
...Dammit, I think the back door's open again.
