msfledermaus | School daze, school daze...

Nothing like a flashback to the horrors of high school to make me grateful to be an adult...

[What year was it?]
1985-89

[What were your three favorite bands?]
Early on, Duran Duran...much later on, Bauhaus and Siouxie and the Banshees.

[What was your favorite outfit?]
blue stretchy jeans, light blue denim jacket, some kind of t shirt.

[What was up with your hair?]
Early on, feathered, baby, feathered...later, permed, growing out from a short 'do, very curly.

[Who were your best friends?]
Roz, Amy, Tina, sometimes Will.

[What did you do after school?]
Early on I was a photography geek, later I was a theatre geek.

[Did you take the bus?]
when I wasn't walking...and walking...and walking...

[Who did you have a crush on?]
Early on, that Dave guy...much later, Bennet Donovan.

[Did you fight with your parents?]
Isn't that part of the Teenager Union Rules?

[Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?]
Simon LeBon, baby! And much later on, Danny Elfman.

[Did you smoke cigarettes?]
I never liked cigarretes.

[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
Not really...eventually I figured out my combination.

[Did you have a 'clique'?]
*wheeze* er, noooooo...It's a little painful to go into, I mean, I still have locker-imprint on me somewhere, I swear...

[Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater?]
The HELL? I too am baffled by this question.

[Admit it, were you popular?]
I was anit-popular...you know, like anti-matter. Later on I was Dark and Spooky.

[Who did you want to be just like?]
Sigourney Weaver.

[What did you want to be when you grew up?]
A famous artist with a loft in Uptown and lots of black clothes.

[Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?]
Sifting through the wreckage of some kind of nuclear Mad-Max kind of world with a mohawk and a papoose on my back...

If I had time, maybe I'd write better questions...this doesn't even really begin to cover the high school experiences, really.....
