During my graduation I ended up wining an award in English, most probably due to my book Shadow of the Day (it was at least mentioned when I was getting it. Couldn't really tell you guys since I was making some kind of god awful noise that was close to squealing). So besides getting an award, I also got a book on getting published.

At the moment I don't have any pictures of me getting the award or the award itself (which sucks because I'm pretty sure my mother does on her camera, but she's not letting me use it), so I'll just stick this one here because I'm full of myself at the moment:

No way you went to Wagner as well! What year did you graduate? What teachers did you have?

Holy s**t this is crazy. I found a Wagner-ite on Gaia!

Well I am kind of am a drop out...>.< missed months upon months due to good old fashion teen angst and rebellion. But I was there from 2004-2007, I had Mario, Pam, Brian block, Brian Carrie, Robert Lacey , Oscar and Abeda from what I can remember. My boyfriend was there from 2001-2004.

This is so weird. I was wondering about all the big events the college was holding. I have class like tomorrow, but in the c building. Wow >.<

Hey, we technically went to school together! (I was there from Sep. '05 to June '10.)

I had them all at one point or another (Carrie, Lacey, Oscar and Mario as subs, and I chaperoned for Simon).
Abeda & Simon have had kids (or another in Abeda's case), Mario was fired for having sex with students, B-Block and Lacey were both under investigation at one point but nothing was done to them, Oscar has made a crap load of horrible plays and Carrie started the Water's Totally Free campaign, in which he tries to make people fear water bottles and buy his metallic water bottles that people only bought because they say 'W.T.F.' on the side and because it made bringing in booze easier.
Also gone (that I remember leaving) are Cory Wolf (who left for unknown reasons) and Mr. A who was let go for reasons we have no idea why (many believe that the 9th graders made false charges against him). But on a happier note Mr. A did get married to Lucia.

There was a lot of things that happened I didn't even know about, wow. But I remember the thing with mario, I was out for like 3 months straight and they called me to ask about if something happened between me and a teacher. When they fired mario I figured that was what the investigation was about, because they weren't just asking me. Mario didn't have sex with any of the student at our school though. It was at a different school when he was in his 20's and before he came out of the closet.

I can't believe so many teachers left.But we were there together, im gonna try to get my hands on a copy of the year book, for the class I was supposed graduate with.

By the way were you in any of Oscar's plays? You didn't seem to like them, lol. I was in the Othello (that was before you came though), three penny opera (as a singer/ hooker) and romeo and juilet (as the prince...er princess)

Nah, I wasn't in any of them. I remember Threepenny Opera though.

The man is truly stupid though. He did A Midsummer Night's Dream again, and he used the song 'I Am the Walrus' (a song about nothing) for Oberon to sing about himself (actually herself since the cast was mainly made up of girls). When I told him how that was a bad idea like using 'Day Tripper' as a love song would be a bad idea, he defended himself that he used it to 'intimidate' the audience. When I told him that you can't intimidate people with a song that features lyrics such as 'Sitting on a cornflake' and 'Goo goo ka joob', he walked away.

Strangely, I'm going to miss stuff like that. (still no pictures yet.)

I started to laugh in real life when I read that. That's the oskar I remember. You know he said he would never do romeo and Juliet or a musical at the school. He's done both quite a few times. He's a very strange little man and he swears he's a theatrical expert.

If you remember three penny opera(mind you it was long as hell) I was the girl who sang (Mack the knife) in the red dress, with like a blue light in my face. (I used to stare at it to go blind a little so I couldn't see everyone falling asleep in the audience.) I was also one of three girls singing in black dresses. I remember those songs still, he made us practice so much.

I'm almost 100% that I remember that! I defiantly remember the three girls in black dresses, that's for sure.

And I finally got pics! (none of me getting the award though)

This one is just silly. It's from when I went up to get my diploma (case) and started jumping up & down screaming "WE DID IT!!"
