I so forget to mention how much I miss driving aimlessly and smoking in my I miss high school post.

As for Steve Miller, I would have done the same thing.

HAHAHAHA! You just made me think back to when I would pick everyone up for school in my badass 85 Ford Escort that had two doors and a virtual reality passenger seat. (Apparently seats in cars are supposed to have 4 bolts. That seat had 1.)

We would either wake -n- bake on the way to school or save the coveted stash for lunch. If we got there early enough, we’d go across the street to Smoker’s Corner and puff about half a pack of cigarettes before we went inside. There were many afternoons spent aimlessly driving around. (Gas wasn’t even $1 a gallon back then) We couldn’t jam out to anything awesome cuzz my car didn’t have a tape player or anything, so we’d have to listen to the shitty ass station I actually got. Of course, that didn’t prevent us from screaming some horrid song at the top of our lungs, though.

I was beyond self absorbed in high school.

Not snobby, just, not interested in what other people thought or did, especially if it didn’t effect me.

We did have a guy whose last name was Merkling. So we called him Merkel (Like Urkel – since he was nerdy) behind his back, except the one time I let it slip in front of him and his face just dropped.

And then I had a friend who had a friend we dubbed a side kick – we call him Ed to this day. For Ed McMahon.

We did the most random stuff in high school too–not sure why–and we were equally amused.

One friend would sit in the hall every morning and ask every.single. person. that walked by, “Ma’am do you have the time?”

It didn’t matter if it was a guy or girl–he’d still say, “Ma’am do you have the time.”

This seriously cracked us up, after the 5000th person walked by–day after day after day.

No reason to it –none at all.

I bet Steve Miller liked it though, feeling like he was part of the gang…his moment in the sun!

If you went to high school in New York, and this Steve Miller was the son of a pretty well-known local car dealership franchise, I know the Steve Miller to whom you are referring. And if so, please email me privately, because I have a ridiculously pathetic story to share.

lookat what I missed! I was at home with a baby, homeschooling. I have no regrets, only that I don’t have cool stories to share.

I have to tell you that you are SUCH a good writer, I could smell the smoke and hear the music. (I should be packing, but this is more fun)

Becky,

This is completely off topic, but I though that this was right up your alley – http://www.boobsinjuriesanddrpepper.blogspot.com/ If not, then I’m sorry to take up your space

P.S. I swear that I did the same shit in HS, just because I could, but I was always the driver.
