I’ve been digging through some boxes in my dad’s basement and finding some stuff from my high school years. I’ve found journals, photo albums, notes from friends. The usual. And I plan on sharing excerpts from all of these things eventually because who doesn’t like to embarrass themselves that way?
For now though, I couldn’t take all of that stuff home because I have no room for it. But I did grab a few small things I thought I’d memorialize here before throwing them away. The first is my high school “Screw List.” It’s not dated, but based on some context clues, I’m guessing I created this around sophomore year, well before I was “screwing” anyone. Ah, high school.
Shannon’s Screw List*:
1. Drew (a classmate I crushed on for a few years, and who I was totally over by the time we were paired to walk and dance together for senior year homecoming court)
2. Jeremy M. (I think this was a friend of a friend of a friend that I met like twice)
3. J. Crew guy (some guy from a J. Crew ad I’m assuming)
4. Brad Pitt (still true)
5. Chad Ell1$ (who?)
6. Dan F1nkbe1ner (this was totally my friend’s lifelong crush, but apparently I found him screw-able too)
7. Joe V@nK@lker (kid I went to elementary school with – he moved away before middle school, so why in the world did I think I still wanted to get physical with him?)
8. Jason Scott Lee (for real?)
9. Matthew Lawrence (come on, he was hot!)
10. Johnny Whitworth (AJ from Empire Records… drool)
11. Zia Sh00k (this is a looooong story, but basically he was a friend and we had a mutual crush that never materialized)
12. Gay Waiter Scott (a gay guy from a restaurant we visited during our school trip to Toronto)
13. Puff Daddy (aw yeah, give me some Diddy)
14. Leo (nardo DiCaprio of course)
15. Nick Stahl (he never made it big as an actor, but I sure had his picture hanging in my locker)
16. Aladdin (Whu-hut? I was sick.)
17. Tiger (Woods. You may have heard of him. On this hand-written list, I had an arrow pointing from his name to just below 14. I guess he got upgraded.)
18. Prince William (I used to think I’d be a princess, then a queen, someday. Kate Middleton is one lucky gal.)
*Some names have been disguised so as to avoid these people googling themselves and ending up here reading about I used to want to get with them.
AJ! good call.
What a hilariously funny idea!! A screw list? Really? I needed a good laugh. Thanks!
You kept a list? And then kept it.
OK, this? Is hilarious!
Ditto 10 and 14 (especially as Romeo) at that age. Also, Johnny Depp, Gilbert Grape style.
I too was going through some stuff today. (We’re cleaning the apartment hard core on our honeymoon) I found some old pictures from high school. They were great. Do you remember every Valentines Day there was a survey you could take and find out who you were compatible with? Sophomore year I was 63% compatible with Rob!!!!
Oh and is Jason Scott Lee the guy from the live Jungle Book? If so I would have done him too.
Drew was always at the top of my list! Joe Van…was my bf in kintergarden…and he’s still hot today. I found him online once…(STALKER, I KNOW!)
Erica and I made lists in college and I still giggle at who I put on there….I hope Andy never finds it. It’s in our bedroom
yes, drool. i’d do him in one second or less. i mean… make this decision, hopefully it would last slightly longer than that. ideally… SIGNIFICANTLY longer.
You wanted to screw my boyfriend Leo? I think you kept that a secret.
I love finding this stuff! My favorite things are usually the messages written in old yearbooks.
I might have to borrow this idea…
1 6 9 and 18 were on my list… and in fact probably in that order… maybe…
Oh and Brooke, I hate to tell you but Rob was on my list too from those Valentines surveys. Those were so much fun. I wish knew where mine was.
I don’t really see Aladdin, but I had a huge crush on Dimitri from Anastasia, as well as Shang from Mulan. And they’re still hot!
