1. Who was your favorite artist/band whose height of popularity was in the 1980's?
Tears for Fears. They're still one of my favorites of all time. The still occasionally put out cds, like 2005's Everyone Loves a Happy Ending. They still put out awesome music.

One of my childhood friend's cousin, Debbie.
5. What was your first high school/teen job?
I cut grass for money from the time I was big and strong enough to push a mower.
6. What sport(s) if any did you play in high school?
None. I was a photographer on the yearbook staff.
7. Did you go to your Senior Prom?
Yes, what a let down.
8. If yes, with whom?
Molly Saterfield. We were friends, had a good time, but I always wanted Prom to be romantic. I guess fun is good enough though.
9. What was the theme or memorable song?
I have no idea about theme. I don't remember particular songs at the prom. It was spring of 1980 and I personally was totally into Pink Floyd's The Wall.
10. What was your best SAT score (on the old 1600 scale)?
I never took the SAT. I knew I was going to college in my hometown, and took the ACT and made a 24 on it out of 36..
11. What was your favorite fashion statement in HS?
Me? Fashion? Surely you jest. I've never even owned an Ixod shirt, and they were all the rage back then. Jeans and cowboy boots were all I wore, period.
12. How old were you when you got your first car and what kind was it?
16, and it was a 1970 Buick Electra 225, sometimes referred to as "a deuce and a quarter". It was HUGE.
13. Have you been to any reunions and how were they?
Nope. I'm definitely not the high school reunion type. For my 10th reunion, they tracked me down in Atlanta and invited me, but last I knew, I was on their MIA list. That's cool with me. I still keep in contact with my real friends from that time and that's good enough for me.
