My classmates in elementary school (I'll dothe high school ones later):

Amanda O. aka Gloria, Mandy Pandy-- I was transfixed by this religious medallion she wore all the time in kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2. Actually, I noticed she wasn't wearing it for a while in grade 2, or didn't seem to be wearing it. Then she was wearing it again. One day I noticed she wasn't wearing it again and I heard someone saying she ripped something off her neck. I was so curious and I was dying to know, but it would be impolite to ask!
Benjamin-- he seemed nice, wasn't in my class after kindergarten, for some reason while having an important conversation with us our kindergarten teacher told Benjamin
Tore-- was in my class in kindergarten. He looked at me with hatred and said "I hate you" whenever we were close. He would step on my toe on purpose trying to hurt me but didn't know how to step on toes so he didn't succeed.
Lydra-- she was nice, wore interesting nice stuff in her hair, was cool. I didn't know much about her. I made sure I got some of those ball things she wore in her hair. You know that kind of hair elastic that's split in two and has two balls on it?
Franklin F.-- stole toys from people's backpacks that were hanging on hooks out in the hallway when everyone else was in class and he was supposed to be
Tiffany-- was new to my grade 1 class and wore this very tattered coat and glasses that were taped together. She was a new kid in our grade 1 class, having just moved there, then suddenly her family moved again and she left the grade 1 class early because she was moving yet again...
Emily-- my friend Jennifer still carried a picture of her around in her wallet years after she moved; she suddenly came back years later and spent a day at Jennifer's house with Melissa and they called me but for some reason I couldn't come over.
Steven/Stephen-- hated me for some reason. Ate glue in class, also ate paper. We were doing a worksheet and after we were supposed to be done we got together to correct the answers and I think the teacher called on him for an answer, I'm not sure, but I know he couldn't give it because he had eaten a large part of his worksheet and the answer with it. :lol:
Cassandra-- my classmate in kindegarten. Told me she wouldn't call me any more, but not that it was because she was moving away, and I wondered what was up.
Melissa L-C-- my friend. We were classmates the whole year in kindergarten but never talked really or at all, but she seemed really nice and I only became her friend when one day she handed me an invitation to to her birthday party.
Jennifer W.-- was always in a bad mood and crying and snivelling and sniffling at school (and elsewhere); I felt bad for her because I was often in a bad mood and crying and snivelling and sniffling at home.
Vaishali P.-- I was fascinated with her name. She was my friend; once at my 8th birthday party her mother came to get her early, like a few minutes after she had dropped her off,then later again before we'd even had the cake, then I think a third time still before we'd had the cake before the party was actually over and I think that was the fourth time that she came to get her, when the party was actually over and we all went home.
Harpreet-- people thought I had a crush on him and found that nasty for some reason. He was considered awkward because of his Middle Eastern race and his weight, I think. I was just me, Cootie Girl.
Joel D.-- it was rumored that in grade 4 the day we were to be vaccinated for hepatitis B for the first time, he ran from the place where we were being vaccinated, fell down a flight of stairs and pissed in his pants. Probably just a rumor though.
Laura D.-- when Joel said "Oh my God" she never said a thing but when I said it she told me all serious and stern and offended not to say God's name in vain; I don't know if she was being a b***h and taking her problems out on me or just didn't like the way I said it, I dunno.
Thomas K.-- not much about him; he was new to our grade 2 class and left it early too; I don't know what's with the ones that do that
Tommy-- not much about him; he was new to our grade 2 class and left it early too; I don't know what's with the ones that do that. Yes, this is copied and pasted, exact same thing as with Thomas K. and others
Thomas M.-- was Courtney G.'s cousin
Courtney G.-- wouls ist for the whole lunch hour begging me for a dollar and saying she would get me on the ground and get that dollar out of my hand, that she didn't have anything to eat, that I could just tell my mom I'd gotten something else with it, whatever.
Hibbat-- she was supposed to be from a good Muslim family but was mischievous and malicious in school sometimes I remember.
Jordan G.-- had 3 girls sitting beside him and all 3 had complaints about him bothering them; I can see where the teacher's comment about his wild oats came in grade 6 years later.
Nicholas C.-- did wierd things to get my attention and sometimes others' attention. My father's friend was his soccer coach once and said that kid had serious problems. :lol:
Nicholas B.-- our grade 6 teacher's least favorite pupil, but at the end of the year when we went on a field trip and her son came along, who did he hang around with the most? Nick B!
Jillian R.-- had a hearing problem and in grade 2 she had to wear these big headphones in class and the teacher had to wear a microphone thing, so that Jillian could hear what the teacher was saying. She was often caught not wearing it and the teacher got mad thinking she was doing it as an excuse not to hear what the teacher was aying adn then not have to do her work, but I think she just wanted to hear what her neighbor was saying or found the headphones ugly or something; for a while in grade 3 she went without them again and then the teacher stood up and said that they would be using this with Jillian I think Jillian was also a hemophiliac. When her mother came to see us in grade 2 to explain why she was wearing headphones, and that she wasn't listening to music but to the teacher, she also said something about how she couldn't just put ice on her cuts and scrapes and bruises like we could.
Crista N.-- prissy and know-it-all and talkative and bratty, once cried when the teacher confiscated a marker she was drawing or writing or playing with during class
Kate C. (another one, not me)-- hated the name Katherine so went by Kate, my name is also Katherine and Kate for short. Since she hated Katherine so much they called me Katherine and her Kate. Some of the kids thought my real name was Kate but that we had literally switched names.
Kyle L.--in grade 2 for an assignment he scribbled his essay thing in big letters across the paper; it was so wrong it was funny and I knew the teacher would yell at him and she did yelling it was garbage and to recopy, and then Amanda laughed at him saying he had to recopy
Another Kyle--I forget but he was nicer than Kyle L.
Troy G.-- was nice to my friends and acquaintances but not to me
Tyler M.-- really nice
Tyler B.-- really mean. I think he even complained about sitting beside me and having his coat and bag beside me in the cloak room in kindergarten.
Nicole C.-- I was jealouso f her family; there were 9 of them living in a big house that had lots of rooms and a bar in the basement. I wanted a stimulating environment like that.
Christina D.-- was one of the kids that made a big deal about how disgusting Barney was because of the I Love You song, also once when we were doing a worksheet about dinosaurs in grade 2 I was with her and Jillian and Courtney in a group, and the final assignment on the paper was to make a song about dinosaurs. Christina and Courtney made up this song "Thank you, thank you for this pa-aper" to this girly sappy pop-ish tune. It was so funny. Me and Jillian thought they were nuts.
Dierdre(sp?)-- mother gave her $13 for hot lunch that really only cost $2.65. Desiree was new and stayed in our class about 2 days; she left the school after that too.
Annemarie M.-- she had all these gel pens she wrote with and had many pens to lend and do her homework in, and people would steal her pens and destroy them and smear the fluorescent ink on their hands and that.
Devin S.-- decided without even ahving talked to me, in grade 1, that he hated me. Told me "I will never be your friend ever." But out of school sometimes he'd say hi and I never said hi back and at school he said "I said hi to you and you never said hi back" and he was all pissy about it. He was so serious; he wasn't like Nicky C. or Jordan who were trying to get the girls' attention; Devin just had emotional problems or had them besides needing attention.
Justin L.-- he was the same as Devin sometimes in that way
Kevin-- he was in grade 2, I was in grade 1, but he was 6 years old and it was almost the end of the year and he was put with us in our grade 1 class to visit or to stay and then in grade 2 we heard he failed grade 1 and was back in grade 1 or something, and I wonder what was going on there.

Once I got in trouble with a classmate's family.

It was my first sleepover ever, at the age of 14, and I collected knives and swords. So, I wanted to show her my 16 inch knife... What did I do? I packed it up with my stuff and took it to her house. I am pretty sure that was an Aspie moment. Since then whenever I come over, I am always told to leave the weaponrey at home. I think she thought it was a bit strange. LOL

One time in Speech class, Sam did a report on Mayor McCheese (y'know, the cheeseburger headed guy from McDonald's). It was full of stuff Sam made up (such as him saying that the Mayor was the lead singer of the band Bright Eyes). Needless to say, Sam got an F.

There was this dude at my school who could burp to order, and the school made such a big deal of it being a bad thing that one day I told him to go "burp um all out" so he went off around school telling people he needed to "wisper something" into their ears, and of course he let these massive ripping belches go into people's ears hehehehehehe, oh and I got in trouble for that, not him......

One girl from my class in primary school when she was 8 left us because her mother won the Green Card and they moved to NYC where they still live.

Cody L, in grade 3, was misbehaving in class when we were doing a math worksheet that was this thing where we had to color parts of it with certain answers certain colors, so it was sort of like a picture. And you know how some worksheets have a black border around it and then a white border around the edge of the paper because the paper it was photocopied onto was bigger than the book it was photocopied out of? Well, the teacher told him to cut it out and so he took a pair of scissors and cut it out. I don't know if it was a misunderstanding or if he was just being smart or what. :lol:

that lacrosse playing chick down the hall, what was her name? she was on acid throughout high school, got high every day of college, and graduated with a 4.0 in architectural engineering and a 100k grant from the NSF for her post-grad studies. anyway, she had an amazing hairstyle.

kyle and i were friends, and the smartest kids in our grade. he graduated college before he was 20 and did something exciting involving superconductivity.

jeff did bad things to good teddy bears, and once got exploded with fireworks at a party.

josh joined a christianity-based cult and burned all of his cds in a bonfire.

this one kid in elementary school had six toes per foot, or was it just one foot? he'd show you if you were nice to him.

Courtney and Thomas were in my classand they were cousins, Christina and Nicole were also in that class and they were cousins.


Me, Melissa, Jennifer 1, Jennifer 2, Jennifer 3, Jennifer 4, and Laura sat at one table in the cafeteria in grade 6. All the other girls in my class-- Courtney, Nicole, Christina, Angelica, Kailie, Annemarie, Erika, all the others were friends and sat at the other table, next to us, and we called them the Cool Girls. Vaishali was this perfect little studious Indian girl, best behaved andnice and with the best marks and morals and eating habits, until the Cool Girls started to "loosen her up" by cheering her on as she struggled to get up the nerve to say a swear word.

There was a boy called David who went to my primary school and he liked Barbie dolls and make up. He's ashamed of this now, 10 years later, but I've always thought he was a nice person and saw nothing wrong with it.

My friend Melissa's little brother Dylan played with Barbie dolls with us.


Several of my classmates in grade 6 would ignore the reycling bin next to the trash can completely. I was too polite to say anything, but I found it so childish and stupid and immature that they went right for the wastebasket with paper, and I wondered if it was an act of defiance or if they honestly did not see the recycling bin or know what it was, or if they just preferred the wastebasket because it resembled a basketball net and they liked throwing crumpled-up paper into it, or what.

In elementary school, Damien was the dreamy boy that all the girls (including me) swooned over. He liked (American) football and his favorite team was the Green Bay Packers.

One of my classmates died in the Iraq war. I didn't go to his funeral. I did feel very sad for him and his family and his girlfriend though.

I saw an old high school chum on 'The Price is Right' a few years ago. She lost.

- One of them tried to become an ax murderer, but he failed.

- Another one's day got arrested for murder behind the wheel, and apparently his son had 'contribuited' in some way

They were both a-holes, and so I laughed when I found out.
