Survey

So, I was checking my old roommate Adam Cole’s livejournal the other day, and I read an entry that screamed of cowardly behavior. Adam had posted his responses to a 5 year high school reunion survey on his journal space, and everywhere he possibly could he avoided the tough questions. Here’s the honest and forthright Scott Seaman edition to the same quiz. Don’t expect anything spectacular or funny, just the truth.

1. What School did u attend? Evergreen High School (Metamora, OH)
2. What year was it? 2000
3. What were your favorite band(s) or artist(s)? I didn’t really listen to much music back then, nor do I now…
4. What was your favorite outfit? Jeans and cargo pants alternated as my pants from day to day, and I almost always wore a Michigan or Nike T-shirt.
5. What was up with your hair? Nothing special - rather short, no spiking, laid flat, regret: long sideburns
6. Who was your best friend(s)? Steven E Caldwell, Scott Cook, Andy Hoge, Josh Keeler, hell, pretty much anyone who played basketball with me or sat with me at lunch
7. What did you do after school? Played basketball, went to whatever sports practice I had, watched TV, or played Mario Kart against my Dad
8. Where did you work? During the year nowhere – I was lazy and always saved my money to not have to work during the school year, but I worked at Lyons LP Gas, my dad’s company, during the summer
9. Did you take the bus? No
10. Who did you have a crush on? Michele Huffman – she lived down the street from me and we used to ride the bus together back in junior high. I had a huge crush on her almost all through high school and never said anything, and two of my friends dated her during that time.
11. Did you have a girlfriend/boyfriend and who? See above question. It wasn’t really shyness, it was lack of confidence with the girls. No shortage of female friends though, as is too often the case.
12. Did you fight with your parents? Not more than the average kid
13. Did you ever get detention? Yeah, like 3 times. Once for talking back to a teacher, once for getting out of my seat to get out my wallet (to my protest), and once for putting something offensive on someone else’s locker.
14. Favorite Subject? Seriously, gym class. I loved gym. I’m pretty competitive, and I loved learning new sports. If you want a more studious answer, math.
15. Number 15 was mysteriously missing from Adam’s list.
16. Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on? Wow, lots. Actually, that was way back when Britney Spears still looked cute and wasn’t all white trashy. I’d have to say that another great answer would be Denise Richards, with that scene from Wild Things all the buzz at that age.
17. Did you smoke cigarettes? I think just one or two times. I smoked 2 joints as well. That was it for any kinds of smoking anything.
18. Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day? Never
19. Best event ever? Beating Patrick Henry in basketball. They were ranked 1^st in the state and had just beat another 1^st place team from a higher division even and we beat them easily. That gym was filled to the brim, with people standing anywhere they could. Loudest gym I’ve ever been in.
20. Did you have a 'clique'? Not really, being a small school few existed. I could only categorize myself as having hung around a lot of guys that played basketball with me.
21. Where was your Senior Prom at? I think the town was called Waterville, I really can’t remember, I just remember it was the farthest away prom we’d ever had and it was hard to find.
22. Did you have a "Max" like Zach, Kelly and Slater? We lived in a field…what do you think?
23. Admit it, were you popular? Define popular…ok, no. Not in that way. Did I fuck the cheerleading squad? No. At our school, that would have made you unpopular in mnay cases, some very ugly cheerleaders…but honestly, I was good friend with several popular people, but to say I was one of them would be a lie.
24. Who did you want to be just like? Who wouldn’t want to be like Mike?
25. What did you want to be when you grew up? A movie star, like maybe a teeny bopper star.
26. Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now? I swear to God I never thought that far ahead back then. No idea. I didn’t think I would be in Ohio though, and in that way I was right.
27. What was the color of your yearbook? Dark green and blue
28. What was the colors of your school? Gold and Green
29. What was your school mascot? The Vikings
