SHS is burning down, burning down, burning down...(again)
So!
A funny thing happened yesterday. To save myself the time from typing all this out again, I should probably just refer you to the archives (see March 3, 2004). Ehh...well, hrm.
For those of you too lazy to refer to the archives, my alma mater was on fire. Again. For the second time in six months! And this time, classes were cancelled due to the smoke! Why didn't this stuff happen when I was in high school?????? We never even had classes cancelled with like, 10 feet of snow on the ground (okay, so that never happened, we didn't have that much snow on the ground, but hey, we never got snow days).
In case you're interested, here's the link for the article about SHS burning down:

Yay.
However, while reading said article, I felt a strange pang of nostalgia/OLDNESS...
The fire occured in the auditorium building (I think it's referred to as the drama building, but that's bullshit, it's more than just drama in that building, it's the music building too! - for all of you Riponites, think of it as the Rodman of SHS, and I spent quite a lot of my high school career in said building).
So one part of the article mentions how the SHS fall play/musical is Little Shop of Horrors...and automatically I thought "That's weird that they're doing Little Shop again, they just did it...oh shit, they did it my freshman year of high school - so that would be what, eight years ago?"
Sigh!!!!!!!!
I'm getting SO OLD!!!
Oh well.
Nothing exciting like that happened when I was in high school, unless you count the time that the football team actually won their first game in eight years (wait, that was 1996...and I was in eighth grade. Damn).
