Wendi was tagged to talk about her high school years, I took the liberty of answering for mine.



1. Did you date someone from your school? A few dozen someones

2. What kind of car did you drive? An orange 1969 Dodge Charger. Worked great until both doors quit working and I got them welded shut... No wait, that was Luke Duke. My transportation had two wheels and Rock Shox.

3. What was the most embarrassing moment of high school? Probably when TJ rode a motorcycle down the hall on the last day of class in just a thong, not embarrassing for me, but very embarrassing for his dad who got caught videotaping the whole thing.

4. Were you a party animal? I'm a nerd does that answer your question?

5. Were you considered a flirt? See 4

6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Sorta, I was one of the original boot dancers. We performed with a band.

7. Were you a nerd? Still am, proud of it.

Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well, I'm number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy days is my favorite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon

8. Were you on any varsity teams? Yep, some.

9. Did you get suspended/ expelled? Those records are still sealed.

10. Can you still sing the fight song? Nope, could I then? Nope. Except for that one part about our colors being "green silver and blue" for my favorite pregnant choir director.

11. Who were your favorite teachers? 1. Dennis the bouncer, he taught me more than 4 years of Channel 1 put together. 2. Linda the Lunchlady, she made those delicious BBQ rib sandwiches that I think contained some sort of meat.

12. Where did you sit during lunch? I sat on the table with the Cullens, they were the four pale kids that didn't talk much.

13. What was your school's full name? Payson High School. Home of the Lions and a big pink P on the hill.

14. School mascot? I just told ya that, a lion.

15. Did you go to Homecoming and who with? Junior Year - yes, but the story deserves it's own post. Senior Year - yes, but the story deserves it's own post. Maybe someday...

16. If you could go back and do it again, would you? I do on occasion, but not the whole thing, I don't have time for that, just a day or two at a time.

17. What do you remember most about graduation? David O McKay

18. Where did you go for senior skip day? Fun Day 2000! We raced Powerwheels down Barnett hill, bucket shoes, couches at school, couches in the pickup, couches on skateboards, I think we fit in a movie at Salem Pond and a 3 AM trip to dennys too. That's only a fraction of the exctiment of Fun Day 2000, the only way to understand was to live it. I mean the day got it's own name, that's pretty spectacular.

19. Were you in a club? FFA, 4H, ACLU, Ham Radio, Josh Whiting Fan Club, GLAD, Boot Dancers, NRA, and ADT.

20. Have you gained some weight since then? Yes, 1.19 E 3 ewieq. Good luck!

21. Who was your prom date? Both Jr and Sr years deserve their own posts, see 15. (read I don't want to spend the next hour telling all the stories, I've already invested too much time on this thing)

22. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? Coin flip says yes.

23. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself?

"Wear Sunscreen

If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
I will dispense this advice now.

But trust me on the sunscreen"
-Sunscreen Song, Baz Luhrmann

PS If you believe any of this I've got some great inverstment opportunities for ya.
