Paula Broadwell went to my high school and was homecoming queen

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Something my mom learned from one of her co-workers, who was in the same class. She supposedly even got a homecoming queen picture of her. I should see if my mom still has it and if she can send it, I'm curious now. But interesting factoid.

Wait, you went to the same high school as your mother? That seems awfully... provincial. Unless you both went to the same private school or something. But I suppose you're old enough that if your mother had gone to a private school, it would have been an all girls school.

But that's not it, right? You've stayed in the same place for decades. That's actually kind of depressing. Perhaps I shouldn't be so critical of "cosmopolitanism"...

Erm no I never said that. I went to the same high school as one of my mom's co-workers.

This is where my mom went to high school: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Prague_High_School
This is where I did (note the "notable alumni"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_High_School_(Bismarck,_North_Dakota)

Haha Petreaus had an affair with his author? WAG.

Dude, what would it matter if he did. It seems just an rather obnoxious point of pretense.  How many generations were your ancestors/relatives in Ethiopia for?  Sometimes people like where they grew up, consider it their home and are not keen to social climb to supposedly greener pastures.

What's wrong with being 'provincial'?

The most famous graduate of our school is...Floyd Landis. :/

That was insufficiently mean, I have to say.

I had no idea there's HS education in North Dakota.

Yes, it's not like it's consistently in the top 5 states for high school graduation rates or anything...

I thought you made such a good job of making an absolute tit out of yourself that outside assistance wasn't really required.

Well, since ND population can barely fill a classrom, that's not suprising

Her predicament today could probably be traced to that night...

Floyd Landis is one of my favourite jokes.
