penni, The public school I attended was rather forward-thinking in those days of old, and we students were given a lot of latitude in our choices, once we had a solid factual foundation from whence to proceed. Our curriculum was weighted heavily to writing about what we stumbled across in the pursuit of learning--book reports, term papers, etc. I wrote papers on some rather autre and obscure subjects in those days. That probably says more about me than do the sometimes bizarre topics I chose to write about. Again, I hope Blue soon returns to home and hearth. FWIW, I think you may have bagged #13500 if and when the SI threadsweepers come through. It is indeed an irony and I deserve to lose it, as they are my empty posts and posts I made in my haste and greed to grub the big 6 mil. Alex, I take it all back. I didn't mean it when I told you to eat your heart out. At least, not this time. Holly

I was a total lame-o. I didn't write a single cool report in school.

I don't remember writing papers. Rolling papers I remember. I'm sorry. I'll try!

Ooops again ~ I did not mean Poltergeists and Gregorian Chants (Chant?) are not cool. And they would have been accepted where I went to school. I have no excuse for my attitude. No wait ~ I have small excuses for my smarty-pants attitude. Little, eeentsy, can't-get-past-em-til-matoority "reasons". Gregorian Chants are attractive to me. They may actually calm me down. Without lethargy. Rare. They're beautiful. (Aren't they? Or are those hamburgers.)

I would have written about civil rights, horses or boys. Those were my interests in high school. Pretty passionate about all of them. The latter getting me in trouble once in a while as a recall. Melinda

How in the world can you remember what you wrote in high school? I hated high school, and nearly 30 years later look back on it with all the fondness of a prison sentence.

A high school paper on Gregorian Chants? In the '60s? Taht is amazing. I wrote a high school paper once about Fascism. That was right about the time Aldo Moro was assassinated. My Law School paper on the antitrust implications of the NCAA's football TV rights package was a real page turner. Sorry to hear about Blue. DSD
