Because I like to answer totally irrelevant questions...
High School
1. What grade are you in? Grade?! I'm way past that. I graduated in 1980! All of the following questions will be answered in the past tense!
2. Which clique did you belong to? None of them would have me! You can call me a social outcast, but I prefer to think of myself as unique.
3. Give a high school label to yourself. (ex. Class Clown, Most Likely to Succeed, Drama Queen) I was and still am a Musical Drama Queen, thank-you very much!
4. What were your extra curricular activities? I really spread myself thin back in those days. I was in the chorus and guitar ensemble, the drama and Spanish clubs, National and Local Forensics (debate and dramatic reading) and National Honor Society. I was also on the staff of the school newspaper, a PA Announcer and a student tutor.
5. Who was your most influential teacher? Looking back, I'd have to say that Mrs. Paglia is to blame for turning me into a "Grammar Nazi!" The way that I see and hear the English language being murdered apalls me, thanks to her!

From an anti-drug public service announcement - If you saw your friend (singular) drowning, would you throw them (plural) a rope?
