Some Things Never Change

Saturday will be my 46th anniversary of graduation from high school. In what way(s) are you still the same as you were in high school (or high school equivalent)?

As for me:

I still dislike Richard Nixon;

I still love to watch Jeopardy; and

I still avoid algebra like the plague.

How about you?
 

You beat me to it QS. So I will add....

My mind still thinks young.
 

This June I graduated from high school too........60 years ago. I am still a romantic but one burnished by the events of life. I also, like Glinda hate the very idea of Algebra. I still remember all my old girlfriends and see them today in my waning mind as I saw them then, in the pretty little powder pastels of their dresses worn to our school dances.
 
I don't really think I am anything like I was in high school. I will be 50 years for me in January of 2017. My goodness.. if a person is the same after 50 years, they really haven't done anything.

Hey! I'll be watching Jeopardy till death do us part!
 
I was very dumb back then, but didn't appreciate the extent. I was also much more extroverted or at least I had the courage to act like an extrovert. 63 years later I now have a much better understanding of the extent of my dumbness and I am now very much on the introvert side of the personality scale. I no longer suffer fools gladly which seriously limits social opportunities.
 
44 years for me next week...

I still have long hair... :playful:...it's gone through a myriad of styles but it's back to about the length it was when I left school.. :D errrrmmm.. can't think of anything else that's the same, I'll get back to you..
 
I don't mind algebra, but don't get me started on geometry! I, too remain gorgeous and humble, at least in my own hopefully young thinking mind. I am less shy than I was, and far less concerned with other's opinion of me, which is probably just as well! Still love to laugh, flirt, and play as much as possible. Still love people and wish to help them if possible.
 
We seem to be very much alike, Shalimar....I don't mind algebra either but hated geometry. I also like to play, laugh and flirt...I'm sure you've noticed.

Hey, Jim - who is that hot guy in your avatar? Makes me want to put on a fluffy pale blue dress with a Peter Pan collar and dance the stroll . . . ;)

Josiah, IF you have one fault (and that's a VERY BIG IF), it's that you're too hard on yourself. Dumb?! Give me a break! You are an exceptional gentleman in every way, Josh, and it's a pleasure to know you. Believe it! :)
