High School

I have just been flippin through my Senior high school year book as I pack up my room, a consistent and welcome distraction in my typical packing/cleaning routine, and I found my two favorite quotes from high school, and wanted to share them.  I can't figure out if it would be better to explain them or not.  I think I'll just let them stand.   I think they sum up pretty well my high school sense of humor.

"As I watched Albert play the spoons, it brought to mind my uncle John, who played the bones with the same fervor."
-Anonymous

"Aunt Jemima - because there's so many reasons to celebrate at home."
-Mystery Science Theatre 3000

Things I apparently said in high school that others have quoted in my yearbook:

-"What the mom?"
-"I have been praying for you about that."
-"Shut your face."
-"You don't know no math."

Most common adjectives in my high school yearbook used to desribe me:

-talented!
-nice
-sister in Christ
-funny
-looked up to
-will do great things

Who was I in high school?  I love how easy it is to believe in people in high school.  Your life is 100% potential, so it's ok to be 0% achievement.  All you have to do is make good grades and smile at the pep rallies, and everyone is sure you'll do great things.  What great things was I gonna do again?  I could use some direction from that high school cloud of witnesses.
