The Girl I Didn't Go To High School With
Well, if you actually read the paragraphs where I start rattling off about diverse interests I have, like lately my interest in how the dude at Face of Tomorrow actually managed to pull off all that cool stuff, you know I've been wanting to do just what I've done above.

That is the composite of faces of girls who were my friends. There were only 16 female faces I collected that matched that criteria who were in my senior class, and I had to eliminate seven of them due to facial angles that hid part of the nose.

Some of these gals I didn't really have contact with in High School. Dead Astronaut High School had about 700 people in my graduating class. Oddly, when I collected pictures of guys and gals who I considered my friends, or friends from the past (and Mike Sloup did graduate with me), I had 16 girls and 34 boys. I'm not sure if I'll do a composite of all 36 guys. I think my next project is either serial killer or other celebrity mugshots.

From bottom to top:
1. Ginny Connell - My best friend in first grade before I met Matt. I didn't have any contact with her in high school, but I always considered her a friend from the past. She has the same birthday as me, October 18, 1968.
2. Samantha Sampson - Also a friend since first grade, but we never really were friends all through grade school, etc. I think we had a class together as seniors though. If she was in a class with me, and we didn't have assigned seats, we'd tend to sit near each other.
3. Dawn Edlin - Another to make the transitions from my Elementary to Middle to High School. I was not even aware she was in my high school, but I think it was around fourth to seventh grade, we were co-worker friends.
4. Sherri Presnel - I worked at Krystal with her when I was 16. Great gal. Didn't really see her at school though.
5. Holly Crocker - Sure, she's pretty and all, but Holly had a great attitude. She's a very happy gal. Though, for some reason, when I think of her, I always remember her bitching about Rick nearly constantly. But in a good way.
6. Tonya Boglio - Tonya is the closest to me putting a girl friend in here, which I chose not to do, as there is no need to irk the wife. But Tonya and I never really were romantically interested in each other. But we would go out to movies when we didn't have anyone else to go out with. I'd not date any of my good gal friends, as that would usually screw things up forever.
7. Tracy Pack - Another really cute, great attitude gal. I wasn't romantically interested in her, except when she would wear that yellow jump suit with the zipper in the front. Ouch. I don't remember the social connections that we knew each other by, but I think she was in lots of my art classes.
8. Angie Young - I think the social connection with her was due to Kasey, possibly a little Rick too. Angie was a great gal in school and ended up really cementing what a great gal she was when she managed to suffer through being married to a cheating drug abuser. Gals, if you don't like the Grateful Dead, don't marry a deadhead.

Gals, if any of you find this on the internet, I hope you don't mind me using your images to make a composite. I liked you all very much, but I'm sure I never said goodbye to any of you.

And that composite gal, she kinda looks like my friend Gary, like, if he had a sister that was hot or something.

Disclaimer: Though I am now 36 years old, I can talk about hot teens without being a perv since they are all as old as me. Plus, the shame of the 80s hair makes it just dorko tragic.
