I'm having a junior high flashback! Care to join me? [View All]

Andrew Lloyd Webber haters probably want to withdraw from the thread now....

So the other day, I started working on a scrapbook layout for 1980, which was a majorly-important year in my life.

It was 8th grade, the last year of junior high (at a Catholic school), and my dad died in April. One of the other events that spring was me in the school play. We did Jesus Christ Superstar and lip-synched to original cast album (the one with Ian Gillan and Murray Head). It was GREAT!

Since we didn't have enough guys who wanted to be in the play, the guys played guards, and we had girls with shorter hair playing guys' parts. I was Pontius Pilate.

So I was feeling nostalgic (since I hadn't heard the album in 26 years) and ordered a copy off Amazon the other day. I'm driving reprehensor (an ALW hater) crazy singing along to all the songs.

Anyone else indulging in nostalgia this evening?



A young fudge as Pilate, hanging with the guards and talking about this dream he had.
