Here are Amy's answers:

1. Did you marry someone from your high school? No
2. Did you car pool to school? Yes. When I was a sophomore my brother was a senior and I got to ride with him. I had to pay him daily for gas until I found out my parents bought his gas most of the time. He would drop me off at the edge of the parking lot because he thought I was such a nerd. When I was a JR I had my grandpas old Lincoln Continental that we call the Trout. It was enormous but fit lots of kids in it. When i was a senior I had a light blue Volkswaggon Beetle without any defrost, so my friend Terri had to ride with me every morning so she could scrape the ice off the inside of the windshield while I drove or I couldn't make it. I did try a couple of times, but it was really hard.
3. What kind of car did you have? see above
4. What kind of car do you have now? Honda Pilot
5. It was Friday night...where were you (then)? Out with friends watching them skateboard or home wishing I was out with friends.
6. It is Friday night...where are you (now)? Occasionally we see a movie, but usually, like Ryan said, it's the rockin' grocery store.
7. What kind of job did you have in high school? I played the piano for dinner music our at the local nursing home, taught piano lessons, and played the organ at the First Bible Baptist Church.

10. Were you considered a flirt you think? I don't think so.
11. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? No- debate and yearbook.
12. Were you a nerd? The previous answer should spell that out clearly. But I was more of a waver nerd.
13. Did you get suspended or expelled? NO! But there was another girl with the same first and last name as me, and I used to get called ot the office frequently for things that she did.
14. Can you sing the fight song? No.

I love these stupid things, the things you learn about people! Someone else with your name! It's not like your last name was common!

The Trout!!hahahahaha Thanks for the flashback! I remember one time we were all dressed up for Halloween, and the Trout ran out of gas or stopped working or something and we had to get out and push it down the road on the way home from school. Wasn't this also the car that someone had to hang out the window and manually move the windshield wipers when it was raining? Good times. :)

A lincoln continental? Those cars can fit a LOT of people in the cab AND in the the trunk... EIGHTY-NINE? I always think we are the same age...

Big Tuna said...

Is there anyone out there old enough to get "play some video games - buy some Def Leopard t shirts?"

carol said...

Ha. these are always fun to read and learn even more about you guys. very fun indeed.
and big tuna, i am not old enough to know, but being the little sister of a "waver-nerd" it is my duty to know such things.... I ran over my neighbors. My parents drove my car from the bahamas. Classic. I'm pretty sure that was one of the tapes that was on top of Amy's car when she was cleaning it and she told me not to forget to tell her to take her tapes off of the top of her car. and then we got to dart in and out of traffic to save what we could...because i forgot to tell her to take the tapes off the top of the car. :)
