class valedictorian tho, hey now!
My wife is still pissed that she didn't make valedictorian. At the time Palatine High didn't give extra grade points for AP classes. She got a B in AP Calculus or something, the only blemish on her otherwise four year straight A record. Some kid in the second tier classes had all A's and was valedictorian. To add insult to injury, a goof that was in remedial classes also got straight A's and was named salutatorian so my wife didn't even get to sit on the stage.
oh damn, i reckon a truckload of crackers have nothing on her levels of saltiness over that one.
btw JORR you'll appreciate this. my two proper long distance/internet girlfriends went beyond scorched earth to eventually get rid of me. san diego chick either faked having a tumor and had some brain disorder called PTC, or faked having PTC and really had a tumor.... or perhaps she forgot the (S) and i was really the tumor? (we didn't have a (M) for metaphors) -- regardless, she claimed to have some dubious life-threatening medical condition to get rid of me (i know her grandparents didn't approve, the two faced bastards)
and then years later there was the chick from long island, who i'm pretty sure (beyond artistic flair) will never use her real name with any sort of internet account ever again because i just might pop up and...... talk at her? idk. her breaking up with me consisted of me getting a call where she was just str8up crying for 45-60mins and was totally unintelligible, and i was just like "....ok then" and then the next morning when her mom called up and said we'd be BFFs til the end of time i was like "OOOOOOHHHHHH" --- in retrospect idk if it was much about me as a person (altho that had to have factored in) as much as it was that she was ready to drop out of college and move out here to live with me* while going to a beauty school so she could work and support whatever living arrangements we had, ultimately getting a bump in salary when she completed her beauty school.
* = much like the relationship in and of itself, this was 100% her idea and i really had no input into any of this. i was just kind of there for the fun and the sex and she was the one plotting out how she could end her whole search for lifelong companionship with me. but hey, you can do a whole lot worse than ending up with a chick who comes over to your place and says "hey if we fuck loud enough do you think your grandpa will have to go and jerk off? let's find out!"a
