Warning: Picture Heavy Flashback!!

I was listening to my iTunes on shuffle when on comes the song, Razzle Dazzle from Chicago. This immediately brought back memories of when the THS theatre program had a benefit show of Chicago and how my parents paid their $50 a pop to get a ticket and ended up leaving after 20 minutes.

That in turn brought me back to high school memories and so I rummaged through all my old photos on my computadora and this is what I found...

Be forewarned: these are in no particular order, and there's a lot of them.....
During high school the YW went camping. Leah and I experienced a lot of firsts that trip. Ie: frolicking in a giant Sound of Music field, peeing in the open as to avoid latrines, and running away from bears.
At our senior all-night party the Amanda's and I decided to do karaoke. Of course we rocked it. We also got airbrushed tats, our tarot cards read, won some junk, and gambled.
For senior spring break Sarah (above) and I went to visit our long lost friend Eliza who moved to Texas. We went to San Antonio and this is in the souvenir shop of the Alamo. "I'm thinkin Arby's!" -- a bit of foreshadowing, eh?This is after Amanda Rink's grad party. The 'crew' came over and we played skins v shirts volleyball. The girls didn't really participate since the boys wanted us to be skins...
This is also on that spring break. For some reason I remember we went to Taco bell for 'fourth meal' (again with the advertising), and we went to Wal-mart for kicks and giggles. Also, prior to this we got stalked at a dollar movie and had to sneak out, then we caught a drug bust. LOVE TEXAS.
Amanda and I at prom. Our corsages were just so so pretty!
Right before I left for BYU we went to the Format concert. This was a crazy, crazy night. Amanda and Tiff - you know what I mean...
This is Amanda and Niles at Ariana's grad party. Ariana had a jukebox, it was the coolest thing ever.

We had a family reunion and we took a boat ride to the Santa Cruz Islands, on the way back from the islands a pod of dolphins decided to swim along side the boat. This pod had like 4,000 dolphins. It was loooco. This is Jeremy, we're not so much friends anymore, but I remember that this picture was monumental at the time. We tried so hard to make him make a crazy face, and this is what we got.
In August 2006 Stephanie and I roadtripped across America to go to BYU! Unfortunately the car was jam packed, it was blazingly hot and we had not air conditioner (hence the bandannas).
These are the Amanda's. My very best friends in high school. Amanda Ko (brown hair) and I are still bestie best-friends. We backpacked europe together and plan on many more loco escapades.
I took all 5 of my cousins to Chuck-E-Cheese at like 10:30 am. This guy was adding tickets to a machine so I told Abigail to go ask him for tickets really nicely, and look what she got!! I also taught her to use her cuteness to manipulate others, even myself..
This is how we rolled into prom. This full size van had the backseat layed out and we all just packed in. It was called "the Green Limousine".
This picture kind of sums up theatre. We would just sit and watch others rehearse and act like retards. Good times.
Tesa (or Shesha, as I called her). Very often we would find ourselves at Meijer late at night. We would often ride the penny horses or dinosaurs. As well as play games in the store. Tesa was the best at making us laugh. This was at a Napoleon Dynamite themed dance. Prior to this Eliza, Kate, and I attended Red Bull Dragster Day in Detroit. We had "backstage" passes so we got unlimited food and red bull. Even though none of us liked red bull we drank all we could and this dance got crazzy.
We threw Leah a surprise 16th birthday party and I caught her expression perfectly.
Amanda and I had chemistry together, so this is that. But this particular day her parents decided to take us out to Hard Rock Cafe. I remember this because we decided that we were cousins and that it was our birthdays. They made us stand on chairs while they sang to us. Then we both got treats. Yahoo for working the system!
This was our senior float. I don't even think we won.


Well. This was fun, strolling down memory lane.

Ciao.
