Now for the blog...

In May 2000, I graduated with 39 other students in my class. Looking through my yearbook, I realized that for each classmate, I have a memory attached to them. (This is what happens when you have a small class)

So I'm gonna' do that. List a classmate and write the first thing that I remember about them. Yay!

1. KATIE ANTHONY
When I was home alone and the washing machine's pipes burst and flooded our basement, I called her dad. Because he's a plumber. This also marked the first time I realized that real-life plumbers don't wear red overalls or punch bricks to find coins or do dances on top of vines.

2. JANNA BLOCK
In second grade, I told her I use shampoo and conditioner. She asked me why I don't just use Pert Plus. From that day forth, I've used Pert Plus. Thanks, Janna.

3. JODI BLOCK
Together, Jodi and I sang Michael W. Smith's "Friends Are Friends Forever" at our high school graduation. And if you're wondering... yes, this is when I officially became "Coolest Dude in the Whole Wide World."

4. BRETT BROWNMILLER
Brett was more commonly known as "BJ." One day, in 7th grade, I timidly asked, "Hey, you know what BJ means, don't you?" He - very annoyed - replied, "Yes!" I guess he had been getting that a lot lately.

5. JESSI CAMPBELL
1999 Homecoming Queen!

6. BART DEROCHER
Bart DeRocher told the class that his dog could say "mama."

7. RYAN DIRKSEN
In third grade, while watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode featuring the Pizza-Monster, I told Ryan that he was my best friend.

8. CURT DRECKMAN
As our teacher headed class, Curt Dreckman whispered to my friend how AIDS started. And yes, it involved a scientist. And a monkey. And the unspeakable act of love between them.

9. KARI DRECKMAN
For Halloween, Kari Dreckman came to school as a McDonald's milkshake.

10. ANNE DRISCOLL
In junior high, my friend dated Anne Driscoll. At a County Fair dance, they lost track of each other and for the rest of the evening, my friend lamented, "I must find my Anne! Where's my Anne?!"

11. AARON ELLENSOHN
Aaron Ellensohn sang a song (seemingly self-written) about a man (seemingly created by Aaron) named J.J. Duncan. The song went as follows: "J.J. Duncan. J.J. D-Duncan." It was a pretty good song.

12. ANDY ELLENSOHN
I saw him and his dad at Hy-Vee once.

13. AMANDA ENGEL
In fifth grade, she confessed to me that in bed, she listens to an Alvin and Chimpmunks tape on her Walkman.

14. NATHAN EVANS
I always thought he looked like Timothy from one of my favorite childhood books: The Trouble with Timothy. Decide for yourself:



15. KERISSA FEUERSTEIN
Kerissa portrayed the "Ghost of Christmas Present" in my 1992 film classic A Kids' Christmas Carol.

16. KARA FRIED
Within moments of Kara first entering the classroom as "the new girl," I had a crush on her. Exactly five minutes later, she threw up.

17. NIKKI HAACK
As our friendship dissolved in the summer of 1996, I called Nikki on the phone to voice my frustrations. And just how did I do that? Jim Carrey impressions, of course!

18. CARL HARTMAN
Really, really liked the B-52's.

19. RICK HERBST
When Rick Herbst spent the night at my house in 1st grade, his so-called "pajamas" were actually a glow-in-the-dark skeleton costume.

20. STEVE HEUERTZ
Steve read Stephen King's It... in the third grade!

More classmate memories in the next blog!
