#1) I would not consider this a light thread. It involves my friends, my hometown, and my life, so I don't really see a need to "lighten up". Also, considering all of the shit I've gotten from several people on here through PM's or whatever, I would give myself a fat pat on the back for being at about the same level of seriousness whatever as everyone else posting in here.

#2) Obviously you didn't say that you proved me wrong- otherwise I would have quoted it. But you have posted more than a few times in this thread and its not difficult to pick up on whatever superiority you feel you need to add. You're right, high school is over. But, b/c I live here, have many friends that are still there, and want to send my kids there, it is a part of my life. I am defensive b/c I've sat through catty comments of yours and I guess I just got sick of it. From a mod I guess I would have expected better.

#3) This is totally irrelevant, but that's fabulous that New Trier and Stevenson impress you. I know where you're from, so whatever you know about the schools would have to be from word of mouth by your sisters or something...but you are more than entitled to your opinion. I have pride for GBN but I would never fight with my friends that go to New Trier over it b/c you know what? We're practically the same school ...either way I don't see why else you would include your "nonimpressiveness' with GBN unless it were a jab at me. And you wonder why I'd be defensive....

people actually get impressed at what high school you went to?
