hey steph:-) and anyone else! i'm jenn, a survivor of oakland catholic high school in pittsburgh pa. i'm now a junior sort of (i was at the univ of pgh but transferring to the art institute).
here's the statements i related to during high school.
3) You don't know the meanin of the words "work" or "study."
propbably why i don't do well in college, lol.
4) You have mastered the art of cheating.
in ways people can't understand. my best cheat was when we got the a,b,c answers to a test and i wrote them on a tiny slip of paper, opened my clear blue pen and stuck the paper beside the ink thingy in the pen. that was classic.
8) The minute school is over you look like you just got out of the Britney Spears video.
i was going to say this one but most of the time i wore the dickies work pants instead of the uniform pants or the kakis in the summer. in my freshman year i wore the skirts sometimes tho.
2) You lie a lot, more than any public school kid u know.
i actually think i may be a pathological liar lol
26) You rarely shave during the winter and if you do you leave it to for weekends.
nuff said, lol.
28) You know what a demerit is.
we got them all the time for being late to school, mouthing off to a teacher, and of course having our shirts untucked. we had a teacher named mr. floor who would see you in the hall and tell you to "go to jail" and give you one if your shirt was out or you were wearing tennishoes and it wasn't gym class.
36) You have countless obsessions with guys you've never even spoken to and insist on visiting their home/work every night of the weekend.
of course lol. well minus the end part. just obsessions with guys we never spoke to.
44) You have no problem joking bout bein a lesbian.
we all used to say we hated guys cuz theyre assholes and we were gonna turn lesbian...or nuns...
46) You spend many theology class listening to your teacher preach about Catholic Church's take on premarital sex.
of course. i never really paid much attention tho...i'm not even catholic!!
49) You dont know anyone in your class who hasnt cheated at least once.
my friend molly used to go the old school way and just look over at your paper, lol.
55) You've put endless amounts of gum underneath a pew durin school mass.
i picked this one because it mentioned mass, and i'd say nothing about gum but we all fell asleep with our heads back on the pews and got yelled at.
57) At least one of your friends is named: megan, katie, or lauren.
i knew a megan, had 4 friends named katie, and i knew a lauren also, and its my middle name.
59) You have sworn that u will never send ur kids 2 catholic school.
lol of course.
Well i saw your add..and i thought this was cool because i go to an all girls catholic school, and it rocks and me and my friends are so tight, our whole school is tight...and we arent as innocent as we look ;)
I have much better pictures but thats me in my uniform..with the cross and stuff haha...yeh!
But i dont know if we have to fill out some kind of form or anything..so yeh
1) You spend at least 6 days a week at your school. I LIVED at my high school I was ALWAYS there :-)
2) You don't know the meanin of the words "work" or "study." pssh... work.. whats that?
3) Parents seem to think you're such a great influence on their child. children love me
4) Your parents think you are perfect and believe what ever you say I'll be like "mum, dad, i'm going out i'll be back... whenever" They'll be like, "ok have fun"
5) The minute school is over you look like you just got out of the Britney Spears video. I love that the "bad" Catholic School girl look is all trendy now, in all the stores and whatnot, since i wore that-my whole life!
6) You get kicks out of being able 2 wear ur pj's 2 school. Catholic schools week rocked my world!
7) You have a way of makin yourself look soo innocent...when we all know you're really not. I still get told how, "innoncent" i look.. *smirks*
8) You lie a lot, more than any public school kid u know. no comment
9) At dances you form an all-girls circle no boys can take over it. oh hell yes.. .we got down and dirty
10) You have the best bunch of friends no one will ever ruin that. my friends and are still super tight
11) You have redefinded what an oxford is. Senior year i used to wear shirts under my oxford that matched the color of my knee socks, it was really hot--the undershirt always went up high.. like to my neck, and i would unbutton two buttons on my oxford which was against the rules. I used to get told to , "cover up" i was like.. cover up what? i'm not showing any skin!
12) Schools with shorts can kiss your skirt. You are not a true Catholic school girl with out a skirt. You just aren't
13) You try to get as many dress code violations in one day w/out getting caught as possible. Oh yes.. my daily game
14) You know what a demerit is. I think i still have a few of these
15) You bring endless suppy of green, navy, or maroon knee socks to college with you. I did, i did..people laugh at me
16) You have countless obsessions with guys you've never even spoken to and insist on visiting their home/work every night of the weekend. doesn't everyone do that in high school?
17) You become fixated on meeting or talking to the guy of your dreams (also a catholic school kid) Ok, i still am, and i have to share this, i graduated in 2002 and i went away to college all bitter and HATING my high school and ssooo tired of dating good little catholic school boys.. ready for something different. And you know what i did? I came home the summer after my freshman year and fell for a boy from my rival catholic school. *sighs*
18) Your first kiss was from a mike, john or jimmy. Yup Yup Yup
19) At least 1 of your friends will have thought they were pregnant by your junior year of high school. The scares havn't stopped since... crazy

21) You know how 2 tie a tie, but not on yourself. Easy stuff
22) You spend many theology class listening to your teacher preach about Catholic Church's take on premarital sex. I could recite really long lectures for you...oh oh oh my favorite, "a chaste person can say to an unchaste person 'i can have sex anytime and be like you, but you cannot choose to be like me'" good shit
23) When you meet people for the first time they know you go to Catholic school cuz..."Catholic school girls are crazy!" Yeah and then boys' eyes get real big *smirks*
24) You seriously dont know how to shut up. no idea
25) "Remember whens" are ur specialty. like everyday i go off on one...
