old mvs connections

basement return party

MVS holiday gala party

so i look through the guest list of this mvs thing, and i see a few people i remember. people from my highschool. people from my grade. of course mr squiers is on there. he was a teacher. he did our english class. he andmr reid did a good job i thought. really out there. and inspired creativety.

then there's mrs kretzler. i mean i told her i didn't like some of the stuff i faced there. i didn't really get much of a response back. looking back she always seemed kinda aloof. her class was enjoyable. but maybe not necessarily 'cause of her. i used to just do whatever i wanted. and i guess her class was the time to do it.

then there's dan gorsky, he was lauren's brother. he was on the soccer team too. i'd eat lunch with this kid sometimes. basically everybody in the grade below me was my age. i was just like a year ahead. but one thing i didn't like about the people in that grade was the fakeness. it was really kinda like contagious. alot of those kids were twofaced.

bethany ward was jasons sister. i didn't really run into her too often.

arthur zeyda was in my grade. the guy was russian and looked like his did. he also had the notoriety of dating lauren a bit. he played tennis. and he would sit with us alot. he came with us to japan. and he actually handed me the massive attack cd. that cd got me through lots of nights in college. or poisoned my mind depending on how you looked at it. but this was an often seen face in school. last i heard he was interning with fred's dad's company.

vin romeo. my senior year english teacher. i guess you could say all my english teachers were notorious. but romeo was the one that did the beowulf stuff. i guess back then i was in kirby's back pocket. the year after i would follow him to OSU. i always thought romeo did a great job of the teaching of that old english stuff. i guess i always tried to impress the guy. with my senior recidal i had the standing ovation. but he didn't see it. so i was kinda disappointed. he was the tennis coach. and he was bald with a goatee. but the guy loved his beowulf. and i guess you could say fed into my tolkienesque interest.

lauren pond was one of my sister's friends. five grades below me i think. we contacted each other once or twice on facebook. she had gone to texas. other than that not much to say about her.

alisha gandhi was in the school when i was there. but we didn't really talk much. but i definately saw her around school. it was a small school after all. just 200 of us in the highschool. plus she was indian. so that kinda made it easy for me to notice her.

anna kersh was katie's sister. i went to their house once or twice. but those were always flukes. ankush was a big friend of theirs. i dont think i ever would've gone there, if like... it wasn't for other people. she just simply wouldn't have invited me.

kristin mann was in my grade. she invited me to one of her birthdays. it was there that i saw her friends do a weezer cover. i had never heard of them before. so i guess you could say that was a perennial step forward. she was in interesting person. she was the daughter of a lawyer. his commercials would come on our television from time to time. she always seemed kinda arty. the last i heard she was in los angeles. her father would do things like go to concerts with her. her other gift to me was that of radiohead. in speach class she did a presentation of radiohead. she basically showed off one of their dvd's and talked about it. i was immediately amazed by their stuff. that was kinda a big day for me. that was another one that got me through alot of nights. and that bands music has influenced mine alot. or you could say its profoundly warped me. either way it was just what i needed.

marlese walters was the daughter of my dad's coworker. basically she was interesting. i guess you could say a playfriend of my sister's. she was at alot of dinner's i went to. the doctors would socialize together. and the children of those doctors would get to know each other. otherwise didn't really run into her much. but we had lots of conversations. she seemed like an interestnig enough person. her mother and father were ex military. they used to get us on base all the time. which was cool. and her mom was great at video games. which was also cool.

phil blum was another soccer kid. younger than me. but we bonded over soccer. in the sense that you would see him around. and he was on your team. so you'd have to know him at least in that sense. but otherwise we didn't really talk. that's all i can really think of that kid.

julia german was another doctor's kid, and she was a friend of my sisters. apparently they don't hang out anymore. but i'd see her alot when my sister and her would hang out.

shannon holland was the sister of a guy called andy i think. he was in my grade. i didnt see her around much. she wasn't really in my circle. strange there were circles in a 200 person school. but i guess even in the smallest of places they have to enforce social hierarchy.

andrew arnett was on the soccer team. seemed like a real aggressive kid. we didn't really hang out other than that.

aubrey smith was a girl i used to ride the bus home with. because of that we automatically talked alot. it was interesting. we didn't get along down the road. she dated mike palmer for a few years. but she was interesting company on the bus ride home.

carianna suiter was the daugther of mr suiter, who definately my favorite teacher at the school. the guy taught me steven hawkings stuff. plus he was just a good conversationalist. and she was one way to get ahold of him.

alan alex adrian was a kid in a grade below mine. i dont remember much about him besides the fact that he was always really scrawny. and the last i heard he was in new york trying film. interesting stuff.
