24. Have you gained weight since then?
** haha. nope.

25. Where did you go after Graduation?
** lunch with the family, my favorite part of which was listening to my dad and my maternal grandparents talking about my college plan. see, my grandparents got me and my sisters college plans probably as soon as we were born. of course, my dad felt that it was his responsibility to finance my education. so it was decided that i would get a certain amount from my college plan every semester, which of course i just spent on shopping. crazy girl.

26. did you have a crush on anyone?
** of course i did. looking back, i realize i had the weirdest taste.

28. what were you voted?
** let's see... i was secretary of ingay xientia, the band club. haha. i was also auditor of the english club, and secretary of the zonta club. those were the stuff i was voted for. that's aside from my job as features editor of the school paper. haha.

29. Did you lose contact with anyone you wish you
hadn't?
** no.

30. what was your favorite band?
** senior year? i can't just isolate my band choices to senior year... so, aside from peach powder (my band, haha! the name was simone's idea), my favorites back in high school were live (wasn't a big fan of their 2nd album, though), rage against the machine, garbage, bush, smashing pumpkins, alanis morissette (again, not a fan of her sophomore album, which technically isn't her second as she released an album in canada even before "jagged little pill"), kula shaker, and of course, the beatles.
