Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be.
1. Who was your best friend?
All of my friends were a year ahead of me, so my senior year I basically only had my then girlfriend, now lovely wife
2.What sports did u play?
Karate, karate, and more karate. That was shortly after I got my first degree black belt, and I was kind’ve nuts about training.

I drove my parents cars, didn’t have one of my own.

Sitting around the house… sometimes on dates with
5. Were you a party animal?:
Nope, giant dork.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
No, but I am naturally charismatic!
7. Ever skip school?:
Not once. I was totally lame about following the rules that were prescribed to me.
8. Were you a nerd?
I was a supreme nerd. I had just discovered computers and was completely enthralled.
10. Did you get suspended/expelled?
Nope.
11. Can you sing the fight song:
I can hum the opening of the Mortal Kombat soundtrack… that’s kind’ve a fight song.
12. Who was your favorite teacher?
My favorite teacher was Larry Wooding, despite my terrible grades. That guy genuinely enjoyed what he did and fully embraced being who he was. He liked me, despite my extremely poor performance in class.

Pekin Community High School.
15. School mascot?:
The Dragons. Hell yeah!
16. Did you go to Prom?
Yes, it was a wonderful evening despite the sound system going out twice and my karate teacher chaperoning. Nothing messes up your game worse than the constant threat of kumite (sparring) while you’re slow dancing. And not in the good way.
17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
Yeah, probably. Almost everyone at the school didn’t give a damn about me, except for a few devoted friends. It was memorable because of
18. What do you remember most about graduation?
My mom bawling her eyes out (like she always does), and my Dad telling me he was proud of me. That ruled.
19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
Mr. Wooding giving me a large portion of the remaining Towel of Knowledge. He used to keep an old bathrobe that he used to wipe off the overheads when he was done showing answers to homework problems, and he used to give small portions of the towel as a memento. Tasha and I each got almost a square foot, including pockets. It meant a lot to me.
20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?
I don’t know what that is.
21. Did you have a job your senior year?
Yes, I worked at a local video post-production company. I spent my year hauling boxes and categorizing stock footage. Yawn.
22. Where did you go most often for lunch?
Cafeteria food, my favorite was chicken strips (again, the start of a wonderful love affair).
23. Have you gained weight since then?
I’ve gained around 22 pounds.
24. What did you do after graduation?
Hung around my parents house, trying to get into college. I did so, and the rest is history!
25. When did you graduate?
Class of ’98
26. Where are most of your classmates?
No idea. Several are still around town, but they were generally irrelevant people to me. A few of my friends moved to surrounding towns, some moved very far away. Unfortunately, I only keep in touch with a few of them.
27. Are you going to your ten year reunion?
I would like to. I’ve become a lot more successful than most of them probably expected, so that’ll be fun.
28. Who was your home room teacher?
Mr. Hay, who taught my computer science classes. He was a large man, and spent most of the homeroom resting or drinking from the water fountain.

Hopefully everyone. I’m looking at you,
