What do you miss

Subject: What do you miss Thu Apr 10, 2008 5:18 pm

Goodpasture meant many things to people. I came from a rough inner city junior high school before I entered high school at Goodpasture. It was a complete flip and I loved it. I didn't want to graduate, I loved my class mates very much and didn't want to enter a new phase of life without them. I have lost touch with most of them like the teachers at school said I would and am happy for the opportunity to some what reunite with them here. but I am interested in what all the others miss.

It was a gravel pit when I was there I hated the walks in the rain to the building then but miss them now.
I miss the unity of the class when doing floats for home coming. Except for the year I was chased down by a bunch of thugs because I wanted to see the Wizard Tree.
I miss the food drive, when groups of us would get together and carroll for can goods. The food didn't matter but the time together did.
I miss alot of things from time to time and I want to know some of your expierences and what you miss and what Goodpasture meant to you.

I miss the late afternoons in the halls of school.
I miss laughing and joking with my friends.
I miss being immature around other immature people. (wait...that still happens)
Very Happy

I miss my senior parking spot. Can I have it back?

I miss all the fun homework. I miss getting Fs too. rabbit

some other great moments were watching my friends mess with each other during class.
one kid used to hump his desk while the other kid acted like the "receiver". one day the teacher started
to walk to the back of the class. the kid in the front noticed her and put a book in his face. the kid behind him kept
humping his desk until he looked up and noticed the teacher standing beside him. the crazy part was she did
nothing! Shocked

he just picked up his book and acted like nothing had happened.

good times. afro

here's a pic that helps if you couldn't follow.

I would have to say I really miss all my friends!! After getting married and having Children you start to lead a very quiet life. I miss the excitement of school. By the way Jennifer... Larkin is BEAUTIFUL!! How is she doing? Phillip my husband understands your female drama. We also have a female dog and we have two daughters. HEE HEE. Brandi what's your little girls name? She's very cute!

i miss the lack of responsibility. At the time it seemed like all the homework, tests, sports were a lot of stress. That's nothing compared to a mortgage, children, health insurance.

I guess this is the emo thread so, I miss all of you guys. That's the main reason I set this up.

I also miss running track. I know everyone that had their sport or band or other school activity knows how I feel. Getting out of school early to go hang at Harpeth Hall was a wonderful experience.

Running track to pass chemistry, not so fun for me. If I could have laid off the smoke maybe it would have been better. Doing a relay and smoking a pack a day hurts, and trying to find long socks wasn't easy either.

Hey Kayla, I'm right there with you on the quiet life thing. We live out in the country and I routinely find myself doing things like making jam and spending days in the summer canning tomatoes. How did that happen? I have two kids. The oldest is Brian Leojon and he is 2.5, the youngest is Julia Billie and she is 6 mos. I ran across the pix of our senior trip a couple of months ago. Everclear and kool aid at club La Vela, gee, you couldn't tell we were 17 or anything. LOL What a blast!

Hurley, I didn't know you ran track, or smoked, or liked high school. In fact, when reading this forum there was a whole lot that I missed. Peeing in lunchboxes? Where was I?

I miss skipping classes and hiding in the back room of the Bandroom with Mandy Singleton. We did that all the time. And we would rock the vending machine back and forth and steal Cheez-its out of there.

I also miss playing sardines late at night in the auditorium.

Good times.

I don't miss a thing about it. couldn't wait to get away from it. HS was hell.

Subject: Re: What do you miss Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:52 pm

It was hell, yes. But there are some good memories. Remember when Mr. Senn threw his megaphone and it almost hit your sister? That was hilarious.

Who knew Phillip Hurley was so sentimental?
I miss all my energy. Having a little one sure does take it all away.
I miss track too. Who would ever think I would miss running around that stupid track that had 100 meters under the water. It sure felt like we never had a practice were someone didn't lose their lunch. Allen and Hurley you had it worse than we did though.
I can't believe how much useless stuff we all remember, but I'm with Brandi, Where was I when all this insanity was going on?

Kayla- Thank you!! She looks like her daddy. She is doing great. Other than only weighing 8 pounds at 3 months, you would never know she was 7 weeks early. I am just so thankful to have a healthy little miracle. After 3 weeks in the NICU unit every sleepless night is worth it. I tried to look at your picture but couldn't get a clear look.

Subject: Re: What do you miss Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:54 pm

I think everybody ran track. I ran in 9th grade. We did a lot of Billy Blanks videos. I don't remember Phillip being very sentimental either! Funny how things change...
The grass is always greener...although I don't think I want to go back.. maybe just feel 18 again!

Hey Brandi - I remember the everclear.. that stuff was horrible. I never made it to La Vela with you and Skyla. Angie got sick remember. YUCK!

Jennifer-that's amazing she doing so well! Addison weighs 14pounds I'll send some baby fat your way. I know about the sleepless nights. Addison still nurses 2 times a night. I forget when they start sleeping all night. Hopefully soon

I not sentimental quit calling me that. I am still the same manipulative asshole I always was but I loved Goodpasture. I was harsh with people sometimes but thats me.

How could anyone not know I smoked. I took my senior picture smoking a cigar. I was like a friggin chimney.
We didn't pee in the lunches we took the lunches and ate them. It was another kid who pissed all over Justin Purkey when he was taking a dump. Purkey came out and chased him down and I believe the kid got expelled.
