yes i went to Catholic school. and yes we are a little weirder than everyone else.

• i wore uniforms in 7th and 8th grade only.
  • we had to had to had to tuck in our shirts. but today, girls don't have to, because: "they can't find shirts long enough." b.s. let me go shopping for those little brats. jk. but seriously.
• we were the class responsible for not being allowed to stand in circles during recess.
  • because cela and ed made out...in like 7th grade.
• aforementioned cela also sprayed her hand with hairspray and lit herself on fire.
  • one more reason they banned circles.
• cafeterias were always in the basement of the adjacent church. which meant when there was a funeral we had to eat in silence.
• when i was a senior we got off campus lunch once a week. but now, seniors get it every day. why? "because they can't keep them on campus."
  • again: BULL SHIIIIT.
• they fired my 6th grade religion teacher for getting pregnant before she was married.
  • then they let her come back a few years later.
  • AFTER she was married.
  • then she got divorced.
  • winner. big time.
• from kindergarden to 8th grade we were allowed to wear jeans twice a month.
  • on "can of food" day: if you brought >1 can of nonperishable food
  • on "can" day: if you brought >25 empty aluminum cans to recycle
  • in 8th grade, you weren't cool unless you wore a white polo (coincidentally the same white polo we wore the other non jean days) with jeans.
• we had our own wave. that pretty much the entire rest of the world used. slash stole from us.
  • the wave where you cup your hand and only turn your wrist.
  • that was ours.
• in high school we copyrighted some of the most awesome words and phrases:
  • OOC-out of control
    • we were just a little too lazy to actually say the 4 syllables
    • but we still said "out of control" entirely too much
  • slugs-ugly sluts.
    • it's what the class before me started calling all the sluts in my class. (not a member) still lives on today.
  • unreal-self explanitory
  • crude-in reference to getting drunk
  • ham-shouted in someone's face who is acting "gay" (literally)
  • babes-as in babies, not hot men.
