I Bit the Bullet

I follow Lola & have often laughed out loud with her TMI Tuesdays! So I decided to try my hand @ it. I can't promise a devotion. My only hope is that it makes me look @ myself more.

Enjoy!

1. What were you known as in HS (Jock, Princess, Geek)
Honestly, I have no idea. I was in all these special classes for smart people. Only 1 of 3 blacks in the classes throughout my 4 years. They were basically the same people I went to school with since kindergarten. I was a jock...gymnast for 16 yrs. & cheerleader. Smart ass all get up. Princess because of my family. Can I just say I never liked high school?

2. What were you really?
A shy, misunderstood, in pain, geek, overachiever in some aspects & underachiever in others. Really hated high school. Would never go back.

3. If you could go back and tell your 16 year old self one thing, what would it be?
Let it go. You can't control the people in your life. Change how you react.

4. If you could erase one moment from your school days what would it be?
I couldn't & wouldn't erase a thing. I am the wonderful person I am today. I just never would go back.

5. Who did you not date (or more) that you wish you did?
I dated who I wanted to. Never a doubt in that.


Bonus (as in optional): If you went to prom, describe your outfit.
I went to both Proms alone. & enjoyed myself. I received the customary "I thought someone asked you!" (That was because of the people I dated. They made sure I was off limits.) The 1st prom I wore a sweetheart-top of white, sand & blue sequin top with a Marilyn Monroe-esque skirt. Really cute. I borrowed the top from 1 of my great-aunts & my Aunt Dorothy made the skirt. My 2nd prom I wore a sequined blue fish dress. I looked like a ocean view. I also wore it in Beauty Review.---Think Homecoming in the Spring.

Anali~ Thanks! It took a sec for me to decide on this one. I went through like 4 in one day! Too much time on my hands!

Don~ Yeah they went through! That's cool that you would go back. I did go back in a way. I worked there as a Job Placement Specialist for hs seniors for 4 years. It was cool to be back then. All of my teachers were still there.
