I just found my highschool yearbook on my shelf. It got me thinking, since you're all writers, I'd like to see what kind of brilliance your year book quotes contained (if you are the kind of writers who finished highschool, that is.)
Here's mine:
Nothing in life is useless. Except maybe Nerf. And isn't Nerf fun??
Be excellent to each other.
I know. Brilliant, am I right? I voted myself Most Likely To Be Revered As A Deity.
Haha. We Brits don't go so nuts for yearbooks and things as you Americanos do.
We had a tradition at my school of getting all your classmates to sign/scribble obscene things all over each others school shirts on the last day of term. I still have mine somewhere, complete with "Martin is a paedophile" or something such similar scrawled across the back thanks to my supposed buddy. Heh. And the guys would basically compete for permission to draw outlines of thier hands over the girls' tits. And all us weirdo kids copied out lyrics from Nine Inch Nails songs and the like all over each other.
Wow - nostalgia.
Yeah my book is filled with all kinds of inappropriate scribblings from assorted hooligans as well. One of the nicest things anyone ever said about me was written in there, too:
You truly are the moon to my night, and the seedless part of my favourite grapes.
I miss that girl.
"dakota
hey ur pretty cool but annoying. but we didn't talk much so...well have a fun summer. xoxo"
From my 8th grade yearbook.
"see you in the car!" - Milhouse
@Fist Kitten: That girl wanted to tongue your seedless grapes.
@Dakota: That chick was basically saying she wanted to talk to you.
Well, I didn't get anyone to sign my shit. But we did have a controversial yearbook theme called 'Shoot Yourself' when I was a sophomore. There were cameras with handheld triggers set up all over the school throughout the year and people would go around shooting themselves alone, as couples (usually with their tongues in each others mouths), and in groups.
And a kid a lot of us knew who went to another school took a 12-gauge shotgun and shot himself in the mouth that year.
If only he'd gone to our school.
"That chick was basically saying she wanted to talk to you." Damn...I wish there was classes for these things.
I was going to ask about your school Chester but then I remembered 'oh yeah, it's Portland.'
I used a Homer Simpson quote.
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing"
"Skate mean and live clean"...no, wait. That wasn't me, that was Henry Rollins. I don't think we did senior quotes in my yearbook, and I am much too lazy to dig it out right now.
I never bought one. I was dying to get away and get into the Navy to see the world and be independent. It worked.
Okay - I wanted to do this, but I had to find my yearbook. We didn't do senior quotes, but I had someone sign my yearbook with a recapper that I thought was fun:
I want to leave you with these final thoughts. Monkeys should never glow. We are all (but mostly Jessica) solid masses. Spiderman does not have webs coming out of his mouth. And she ain't gonna email you. Beware of the zombies...they will get you and not feel bad at all about it...or will they? Yes...or will they?? YES. The Beatles rule and John Lennon forever - you'll need that in life. Stop being a slut. Or at least enjoy it more.
That pretty well sums up my high school experience.
I remember some chick I knew wrote, "It was nice knowing you...unfortunately." Which still confuses me. How could it be nice and unfortunate?
She wanted to hate you, but you just wouldn't allow it.
Or she was an idiot. Was she an idiot?
With this many people from Kentucky I'm not a 100% sure I didn't go to high school with one of you. Odd.
Mine was toilet humor, death humor, and a few ackward jokes I don't remember enough to get.
@averydoll--actually she was just kind of a bitch.
I didn't even get a yearbook. Laaaaaaaaaaaaame!
