Saturday...March 24, 1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois. 60062.

Dear Mr. Vernon,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did WAS wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us...in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at seven o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?

Eat, Drink, And Be Merry

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?

I want to get PUGJEEP. But the husband is totally against it.

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?

Does the framed clay paw print from Charlie Pooh Bear count? I got that from a coworker.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?

She is dancing away from me now

She was just a wish

She was just a wish

And a memory is all

that is left for you now

You see your gypsy
