I will talk about Anime North soon, but I just wanted list out memories that I have with certain people or groups of people… I’m feeling a little nostalgic today. :) See which one is you!

1. Singing anime and musical songs on the school bus to the point that the whole bus is more than slightly annoyed with you.
2. Drawing comics in Ms. Curpen’s class making fun of the half the boys in our class. Said guys find out and try to turn you in, but they grab a blank crumpled piece of paper instead of the stick figure drawings… so you casually make a comment about how those silly guys are always trying to set you up.
3. Teaching the level 4 class at cadets and getting very frustrated with kids who don’t pay attention and draw male genitalia on the walls… yeah, those kids were clearly messed up.
4. Riding the bus to Ottawa and getting accosted by my English teacher for doing math instead of English… and then telling her that you find mathematics to be a more interesting subject.
5. Being partners in crime!
6. Annoying our nice, yet boring jazz band teacher who always ended up soloing for half the practice.
7. The story on the chalkboard about a naughty percussionist who stole from Zellers.
8. Going out with the seniors to Kelsey’s.
9. Getting ice cream from Dairy Queen at the end of the power-walking gym block.
10. Watching kids in my 9th grade English class throwing pens at the ceiling fan while the teacher wasn’t there, but mostly watching the hilarity of the bewildered Korean boy hiding behind the door.
11. Having tea in class while listening to soundtrack music and doing physics problems.
12. Blowing up pumpkins in chemistry class… ’nuff said.
13. Watching a girl “propose” to a guy using a ring made out of a straw.
14. Utterly failing to review the book “Island of the Aunts” without having the whole class laugh at me. And it wasn’t because I was particularly funny either.
15. Going to the Evanescence concert and nearly losing all hearing capabilities.
16. Sitting in the cafeteria and stealing a kid’s food… and then offending him by telling him to take a shower … with soap.
17. Playing a card game in which the players created their own cards. My card was an emo kid, complete with guitar, floppy converses, slashed wrists and overly long bangs.
18. Band trips of any sort.
19. Getting rained out on the few days I actually had time to go gliding.
20. Blasting Lady Gaga’s Poker Face in the Ford Flex.
