2. On an average day in high school, where were you? With the drama freaks, talking about last night's crazy cast party. With my jock and cheerleader friends, talking about the latest popular band/ movie/ boy. With the art club, discussing our latest exhibit plans. With the other stoners and whores, behind the stadium breaking beer bottles. Drifting from group to group, but carefully avoiding both preps and perps.
3. Let's do a little word association: beach, church, cookies. Bonfires, liturgy, chocolate chip. Surfers, Jesus, yummy. Joy, hope, love. Sex, sex, sex. What's this got to do with anything?
4. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a child? Esmerelda- you know, the gypsy girl. A cheerleader. A scale representation of Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Pussy... the cat, y'know? Anne Bonny- you know, the female pirate.
5. Your parents are out, and you've got a night of hanging with your girls. What's on the agenda? Swapping stories, nuking impromptu nachos, talking about Anne Rice or Neal Stephenson or Fairport Convention. Alternately super juvenile and outrageously mature. Gossiping, painting toenails, doing hair and make-up, and talking about our boyfriends and diets. What else would we be doing, silly? * giggle * Watching old black-and-white movies, working in our sketchbooks, eating sherbert. My parents don't have any qualms about leaving me alone with my friends. Getting drunk, getting high, getting stoned, getting pregnant. And that's on a slow weekend. Nobody has to know, but it probably involves lots of flirting, dancing around like mad things, and lighting things on fire. Yes, that's hanging with the girls. 6. Sex? I'm predominantly heterosexual, but what the heck- I'll experiment. With boys, silly! I'm female, thanks. YES! YES! OH GOD, YES! That's not your business unless I'm in yours.
7. We all know the emphasis on high school sporting events, and especially the homecoming game. What's the highlight of your homecoming night? Leaving the game to hang out with my friends at the nearest bookstore or coffeehouse. Cheering! GO TEAM!!! And getting laid by my quarterback boyfriend... * blush * Not having to go to the game. Getting the living daylights banged out of me underneath the bleachers, wearing my own rendition of the cheerleaders' uniforms. All the mischeif waiting to happen.
8. And the color of your toenails? Black Pink Blue Sex Either fire engine red or acid green
9. There's a fight in the cafeteria. Where are you? Looking on in amusement. If someone I know is involved, I'll step in to break things up or play superhero. At the sidelines with the rest of the sheep, gasping. I'm the unfortunate victim. I'm in the maintenance closet, getting it slipped to me from the shop teacher. I started it and vanished before anyone could trace the handiwork to me.
10. Before you go, which set best describes you? Mandelbrot Perky, sweet, wholesome, eager-to-please. Dreamy, elegant, creative, shy. Sex kitten. There are two of us: that's a set. Firey, adventurous, daredevil, risque.
