YOUR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL

[What year was it?]
2000-2001.

[What were your three favorite bands?]
Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Godhead, and Tori Amos.

[What was your favorite outfit?]
Still anything black and jeans. I loved my Nine Inch Nails Downward Spiral T-shirt.

Very, very long. I could almost sit on it and it went all over the place when I had sex.

Christoph (my boyfriend then.), Nick, Brad, Melody Velasco, Steffie Kruchoski, and Jessica Southard.

[What did you do after school?]
I was usually glued to Christoph or hanging out with my friends IF I didn't have marching band or radio.

[Where did you work?]
This was the only year I decided not to work because I wanted to have the most out of my social life.

[Did you take the bus?]
I either got rides or I walked.

[Who did you have a crush on?]
I was too glued to Christoph and my crushes faded away.

[Did you fight with your parents?]
All the time and still about the issues. Religion was the biggest problem I had with my parents.

[Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?]
Trent Reznor still and Mike the guitarist from Godhead.

[Did you smoke cigarettes?]
Sometimes still. I tried these herbal cigarettes for awhile with Steffie and Melody when I hung out with them.

[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
No, but I didn't have many books that year.

[Did you have a 'clique'?]
Yeah with being a band geek, and also with radio and my "outcast" friends.

[Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater?]
Yeah I still have no idea what that is...

[Admit it, were you popular?]
Well everyone knew my name after Karnival der Musik. I kept to my little group.

[Who did you want to be just like?]
I admired Trent Reznor and Tori Amos and sometimes wished to be like them. I still just wanted not to be like my mother.

[What did you want to be when you grew up?]
This year I had focused in on radio specifically and dreamed of working as a DJ at 105.7 The Point.

[Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?]
I still never really though of the future other than I thought I would always be together with someone.
