High School Nostalgia

Spending even five minutes with my dearest cousin Ginar takes me four years back in time. A time of teenage angst, Friday night football games, high school drama and crazy fun memories. And with the talk of prom looming in the air for high school kids everywhere I found some of my own prom memories to look back on.

Yup. That's how we rolled. Great times.



I still laugh at the fact that I just had to be the shortest girl with the tallest date. LOL.



ERIC!!!





The boys who got me through high school, seriously. Every day, no matter what kind of day I'd be having... I knew lunch with these boys always made things a lot more fun.



Middle school & High school + this girl = tooo many great times*. My girl forever!



Easily, still one of the coolest kids I know. Homies for life.



Party people.



Prom was definitely a fun night. But I gotta say there were plenty of fun times all though out high school.

Take for example .. our senior powder puff game.



A two hand touch game turned into straight tackling because of the rain. And of course they put me front and center coz anywhere else I wouldn't be seen. LOL.




We had swagga fohsho!




Or how about Friday night basketball games dancing half time?
With a team of ladies I won't ever forget.

A pretty big team actually.

Or dressed up like blueberries singing in women's ensemble.

I still hate those dresses with a passion.

Usually seated next to two of my favorite altos!



There were always great times with theses ladies right here.

Ok I think that's enough nostalgia for one day. I can't believe high school was four years ago. Everyone's graduating, again.

Saran Wrapper's Delight

Why saran wrap cars when you can saran wrap your friends!!!

This was about four years ago ... yet remembering it

still makes me laugh just as hard as if I did this yesterday.

High school feels like it was a lifetime of it's own, and I've got a multitude of memories to look back on ... but this particular memory has accidentally resurfaced itself for my enjoyment ... and yours as well. I can't say I was the "class clown" in high school, but I can say I was one of the silliest girls around. Also one of my closest friends, the closest to the camera in the photo above, was dubbed "class clown" our senior year ... so I always had someone to be silly with. Even now old friends from high school expect me to bring a case of laughter with me where ever we go. Anything less would be a disappointment for them all. I'll be having dinner with a bunch of them tomorrow night at a place that takes me right back to the 'good old days' and I'm super excited. There's nothing like a Fudd's night with friends in Annandale.

Anyways if you've been wondering Here's the story of how I saran wrapped my friends!

Senior year of high school we went on our Spring Trip to Myrtle Beach, SC.{A trip me made every year but at a different destination with each year's passing}. Me and my closest set of girlfriends made sure we roomed together to ensure our last trip together would be an unforgettable one. It was to our delight April fools fell on the dates of our trip, and knowing me and the group of girls I held closest to .. we weren't going to let an opportunity like that pass us by unnotice.

Before ever leaving for our trip me and my girlfriends threw around ideas and pranks we could do each other, or those on the trip, we even planned out things we could try out on our teacher ... that wouldn't get us into major trouble but would give us all a good laugh. So when our trip was underway "the games were on" and no one was safe from a April Fools prank. For most of the trip it was quite and no one pulled any pranks worth remembering if pulling any at all ... but little did my friends know I had a secret stash of saran wrap hidden at the bottom of my suitcase.

Of course it was crazy little me, "Rini" ... who thought saran wrapping two of my friends to a bed while they were asleep would be a fun idea, but I couldn't do it alone and needed an accomplice. In our hotel room we had four girls. Me and my friend Jessie slept on one bed and our two other friends in the other. Of course I couldn't do it to Jessie because I wouldn't have a place to sleep if i did it to her, so I recruited her for the job and chose our other roommates as our victims. We waited all night till the two feel asleep ... which too forever, but when they finally did it was "go time". While suppressing our laughter and trying to make as little noise as we could, which is impossible to do when working with saran wrap, we slowly wrapped our two little friends to their bed in red saran wrap like a little cocoon. {I picked out red so it was visible for us when working in the dark .. hehe}


One of the girls actually did woke up in the middle of the process. She sat up eyes closed and not fully conscious, and though it scared us she fell right back asleep in seconds and our cover was never blown. It's still boggles my mind that they never woke up to catch us in the act because it took us forever and with saran wrap in hand we were quite a noisy pair ... but we did it. The hardest part was passing the saran wrap to each other under the queen sized bed, it's the wrappers stickyness to itself that slowed us down. Finally the next morning arrived and instead of our alarm clocks waking us up, all you heard was russling and movement and the sound of stiff saran wrap around a bed and two girls. "What the heck? What is this? Why can't I move?" were the mermers coming for under the covers of the other bed, and from ours all you could hear were sleepy giggles of victory and delight. The end.

Silly memories are so fun to look back on.
