| Inside jokes that will probably make my friends fall out of their chairs laughing, but will just make everyone else stare at me blankly |
| Thinking back on highschool, I can't get this image of Joe out of my head, sophomore year, after I accused him of counterfeit emotion. He jumped up and screamed, "My love is real!" to an entire auditorium of parents, proudly waiting to see their kids play in the band. Or that time Jude cried, "That's a whole lot of what I wasn't expecting," while jamming a forkful of turkey in his mouth. It's weird, but my memories of school are just like that. Jen's car is a neon, but for some reason, it became known as the Lady's Bug, or as Julia would say, Lady's Bog...because "bog is my heritage, bog is my life." And Beth has this book in the back of her car that, who knows how it got there, but it's all about how it's "time for Tom to say goodnight, brush his teeth, turn out the light." Ten years from now, what am I going to do with Dan saying how his dad can't buy him a new car, but he can get him "junkers?" I can't remember algebra. Forget history...oh, except for Mr. E telling us how Woodrow Wilson was "Christfelt" upon going to Europe and hearing everyone cry, "Oh, Woodrow!" Besides that, I guess I'll just remember silly things, like Headlock singing "Clean Clean Hygiene" and preaching about how important it is to take showers. And if i had a dime for every time during my highschool career that Ryan said, "Werd," then I wouldn't have to go to college and get a fine paying job. As a matter of fact, the same thing goes for Brian thinking he's a pirate and saying, "Arrg, how ya doin', Katie?" Or Dave, fearful that someone might get hit by a massive "Mac Track." Well, I guess highschool really is important, even if all you do is laugh. I'm definitely gonna miss this. Written on May 19, 2000 |
