I’m late, as usual, but I would like to say that I too love the fact that who’s in your classes is the defining feature of whether they’re ok or not, and also I loved being reminded of the stress of waiting to get your schedule and finding out if your friends are in it, etc.

Our teacher in Lubbock who taught us Shakespeare etc was also crazy (like, seriously crazy, but a good teacher), so maybe there’s something to that.

I honestly think sophomore year was my favorite year in high school although American Studies junior year rocked.

English II had the best crazy times ever- Kill Claudio!; Us or Them!; “You’re turning into ‘Brave, New World’, TV is your soma!”; kidnapping the Alice doll. Awesome times.

World History was great too- Brent making us watch the Ben Hur chariot scene over and over to try and find the one real death; the goat head soup (please tell me there is a diary entry for that!).

I didn’t realize that we had half our classes together.

I can’t wait for more!

I used to be able to tan my legs in the summer, too. I wonder what happened to our pigment? Question, though: why two backpacks? Was it for style options, or you just really carried a lot of books?

Williams was possibly the worst teacher I had in High School. Crazy doesn’t even begin to describe . . .

joshkatz, I’m pretty sure we were playing Clements. I remember because that was the first HS football game that we had to pay just to park – I think that’s the one . . .

Ahhhh . . . the memories.

Are we sure that that isn’t a tan and that she’s wearing dark nylons under jean shorts? Those legs just look super unnaturally tanned. If not that’s definitely an amazing tan. How would one even go about that?

Josh Katz, you went to Clements? I went to Terry, and we were also the Rangers, and we HATED you guys for stealing our mascot.

Although your drill team was called the Clements Stars and not the Rangerettes (as ours was) and that never made sense to me.

“I looked out into the night and thought there were a lot of fireflies until I realized they were cigarettes.”

OMG, so precious and whimsical and naive! Some of those fireflies were probably even left-handed cigarettes.

Also, I STILL HATE THIS OTHER MEREDITH. Especially b/c she got to put on an Old West-style Taming of the Shrew production with you.

I wonder how it is, now having witnessed the true depth of your obsession, that before these Dear Diary Pants entries, I never knew of your Keanu crush?
