My friend, Lynn, had a slumber party for her 6th birthday and invited a bunch of girls that I didn't know. 

We had a lot of fun playing with "Jem" dolls and watching cartoons, but the fun soon ended.   Two girls were putting on makeup in the other room.  I remember they looked really silly, and I told them that they looked even prettier without makeup on.  That was a very stupid thing to say, but I didn't realize that at the time. 

Anyway, they chased me around the house and made fun of me.  I remember it was really late at night.  I decided that I was going to walk home, since it was only a block away.   But the girls kept getting in front of the door.  They wouldn't let me out.

Lynn's father woke up and scolded the girls.  He told me that it was WAY too late for me to go home.  So I, reluctantly, stayed the night.

The girls decided to spread a really nasty rumor about me.  When the next school year . . . Read More..

There was an old lady who lived next door to my friend Lynn.  She was known as the neighborhood witch, and there were rumors circulating that she had killed a kid for going into her backyard.  She was REALLY old too... 

Anyway...   me and 3 other girls decided to go up to her house, knock on her door and run away.... 

My friend, Kristen, knocked so hard that she broke the glass door!  We freaked out and ran to my house.  About an hour later, Lynn's mother called and said that we were all in BIG trouble.  Apparently, the old lady was sitting in her living room.  She watched the whole thing through her window.

    

I had a HUGE crush on a boy named Patrick Shephard.  He had blonde hair, blue eyes and the cutest freckled face.  I used to chase him around the playground everyday.

One day, he said. "I know you like me.  If you want to kiss me, meet me in the teacher's lounge after school." 

Well, I met him in the teacher's lounge and we kissed.  It was just a peck and it was very awkard.  Neither of us said a word, and after we kissed, we went on our way.

I don't remember whether or not I continued to chase him around the playground.  Maybe I realized that it wasn't worth it afterall... ha!

I have attached a class picture...  Patrick is top/center.  He's wearing a turqious shirt and he's right next to the teacher.  I'm on the bottom left.  I'm wearing a red and white dress w/ a ruffled collar.

I was a big nerd in junior high school, and I desperately wanted to "fit in".

In an attempt to make friends with the cool kids, I decided to tell everyone that I was going to be on Star Search.

It worked for a while...  But the lie started to spread like wild fire.  Even the principal knew about "Star Search".  One day he saw me in the hallway and congratulated me for getting on the show.  I knew that I would, eventually, be found out.

One day, one of my "new" friends came to the house.  She was talking to my brother.  She said, "Aren't you proud of your sister for making it on Star Search?"  My brother was confused... He said, "What are you talking about?  Beth's not going to be on Star Search."

I pleaded with her.  "Please don't tell anyone."  She promised that she wouldn't say anything, but I have a feeling she told some people.

Then a while . . . Read More..

Derek Bannasch and I used to do student announcements over the PA in the morning.  We were very eccentric and dramatic with our announcements.  We aspired to achieve the fame of last year's announcing team of Jim Territo and Brandon Williams.

Once, at the closing of the announcements, they signed off by saying "These announcements have been brought to you by Rudy's Meat Market: nobody beats our meat".  Unfortunately for them, they were no longer allowed to give the announcements.

So one morning we closed our announcements by saying "These announcements have been brought to you by Rudy's Meat Market" and that was it.  When I turned around I saw that one of the staff was frowning and they scolded us.

Just to prove that I am the dorkiest user on the site, I have scanned official documents to back up my story ;)
