Sophomore Year
(And Other Neat Stuff)
Ahhh, Sophomore Year. It seems as though it was just yesterday (then why can't you remember any other quotes from it Fran?!) Oh well, what's I have from then is amusing, plus there's swim camp stuff, which is always good for a laugh. Plus, I plan on adding some work stuff, though nothing really quote worthy has happened, unless you count the Salad Crisis. . .keep checking back. . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Play the Canon"
~Half the population of swim camp to Fran
"NOOOOOO!!!!!"
~The other half, in protest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Uh huh uh huh uh huh!"
~Pat, commenting on nothing in particular.
"Stop."
~Fran, in response.
*five minutes later*
"Uh huh uh huh uh huh"
~Pat, again with his comments
"STOP!"
~Me, on the verge of extreme, but amusing annoyance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What happened to your head?!"
~Kid from swim camp
'I got into a fight with a knife."
~Pat, with a sarcastic reply
"And he lost!"
~Julie. commenting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your Mom!"
~Pat to Fran
"No, your Mom!"
~Fran to Pat
"You're Mom's Mom's Mom's Daughter's Granddaughter."
~Pat to Fran
"Pat, that's me!'
~Fran, in reply
"Oh"
~Perfect Pat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm going to sleep!"
~Julie, informing us of her activity on the swim camp couch
*five minutes later*
"HEY, EVERYBODY, BE QUIET, SHE'S TRYING TO SLEEP"
~Pat, trying to help
"Pat, shut up. Let her sleep!"
~Fran, in response
"Thanks, Pat. You know, I was almost there. Almost."
~Poor, sleepy Jules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay guys. Go on the 50, 45, 19, 10, is there a 90 on a watch?! MOLLY!"
~Bekkah, imitating the not so clock savvy Coach Chris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You need to BURN these formulas into your BRAINS!"
~Doc, to the class.
"Fraaan. . .I'm scared!"
~Lori, aside to Fran.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Brightly was funny but pear-shaped, and he hated period 1 but he loved your class. You OBVIOUSLY showered him with gifts and bon bons."
~Taken from Kiersten's entry into my 2000-2001 yearbook
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You hear. . ."
~Cheezy Spanish Lisntening Packet tape, that became all too predictable by 10th grade.
"DAAAAAAAAMN!"
~Sra. Mattei's per 1 Spanish IV honors class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"All I want is for every one of you to LEARN and GET HUNDREDS!"
~Doc, to the Algebra 2 Class
"What do we want?!"
~Kenny, polling the class
"HUNDREDS!"
~The class, in a trained response
"What do we wanna do?!"
~Kenny, again with the polling
"LEARN"
~The class, again with the trained response
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Since you're facing the clock, what time is it?"
~Alison, to Keri
*long pause while Keri attempts to remember what time the period ends*
"So?"
~Alison to Keri
*Keri sweatdrops and pauses a second*
" 15 minutes. . ."
~Keri, in a feeble response
"Come on, Keri, we all _know_ you can't read the time, it takes you five minutes. Go back to first grade!
~Lori with sarcasm
"So what? I'm a ditz!"
~A wailing Keri
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I OWN you!"
~Fran to Kevin.
"You do not! I own YOU!"
~Kevin to Fran
"No way, I beat you in air hockey 50 billion times. I OWN YOU!"
~Fran, to Kevin
"No way! I OWN YOU!!!!'
~Kevin to Fran
etc, etc, etc.. . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"HEY HEY HEY!"
~Two door to door politicians, in unison, trying to solicit Fran's vote
"Okay, that's just scary"
~Fran's thought, and pretty much everyone else's opinion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh MY GOD. . .MY LIFE"
~Lori's patented response, complete with hand movements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alison, look at what me and Fran found. One of her brother's action figures does the 'Oh MY GOD. . . MY LIFE!' hand movements. Look"
~Lori, to Alison in health
*Fran pulls out Action Obi-Wan Kenobi, who moves his hand's up and down to Lori's 'Oh MY GOD. . .MY LIFE'*
"It's Obi-Wan!!! How cute!! And he's MINI!"
~Alison, in response
*Alison, Fran, and Lori amuse themselves with Obi-wan and his Lori-esque hand gestures*
"Girls, now it's time to put the little man away."
~Mrs. Arifian, health teacher extroidinare.
"Awwwww. . .daaamit!"
~Lori, Fran, and Alison.

"I have too many languages in my head. English, Spanish, Japanese. . .I even remember some German."
~Keri, commenting on exam week
"You mean Herman?"
~Fran, trying to translate German into Spanish, but failing, because exam week will do that to you.
"Yes, Fran, I have Herman in my head. It's 'aleman' baka!"
~Keri, correcting Fran
"Oh. . .damned exams:"
~Fran, in reply
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I love the Spanish games...they're so fun!"
~Fran in reference to her favorite freshman past time"
"Yeah, that's because Fran is the Queen of Play"
~Lori, in response
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cheralyn hit me with her chorus folder, and her ice pack....that really hurt!"
~Fran, rubbing her shoulder
"C'mon Fran, you know you're the Queen of Play"
~Lori to Fran, in sarcasm
"Yes, but I'm not the Queen of Beastily Hitting People with and Ice Pack or Chorus Folder, am I?"
~Fran, in reply
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Heh?"
~Fran to Lori
"Heh!"
~Lori to Fran
"Heh?"
~Fran in reply
"Why is it when someone says 'heh', it's impossible not to say 'heh' back?"
~Lori, theorizing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Caaaful, he's got a hahrt mumur"
~Lori's Bostonian Accent
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, so all you do is dive off the block, touch your toes and go into the water, it's not tough"
~Kelly trying to explain a start drill to us swim team members.
"Oh, _sure_ it's easy, for Kelly: Princess Lillinonah!"
~Colleen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There's this one girl in the group that I used to be a counselor for. She could never say my name right. She'd always yell 'Frans!' and I constantly had to correct her."
~Fran describing one of the cute children at work.
"Maybe you have multiple personalities."
~Keri, in a helpful reply.
"Yeah, Fran's not in right now...would you like to talk to Fran?"
~Beth being witty.
*Fran, Keri, Beth, and Ami all laugh*
"So Fran, how've you been?"
~Doug, after arriving late and being pelted with water balloons
"Fran's not in right now...would you like to talk to Fran?"
~Fran also trying to be witty.
*Beth, Keri, Ami, and Fran all laugh*
"I miss everything!"
~Poor, clueless Doug.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wah-Wah-Wah-What are you guys Eaaaatin'?"
~Fran's impression of little Brian Santos
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well everbody knows that nobody likes Mike Garcia"
~Fran in passing to her big boss Mike Garcia
*Mike turns and makes little wavy motions towards Fran with his fingers*
"May you have children like Tyler Gangell"
~Mike in refrence to the loveble but very tough to deal with 5 year old with what he refers to as the largest head on Earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I got chewed out by about nine parents yesterday for the big mud bash we had yesterday, which was totally cool for camp, and it was mainly what we like to call the Brookfield parents. The one's who want their child coming home spotless. Don't worry, we'll have a camp for those kids next year. We'll put them in a bubble, wrap them in cotton padding and cellophane and not let them participate in any activity that contains any possible risk that they remotely may become dirty or scratched!"
~Mike, in response to the impromptu mud party in camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, how are you people feeling?"
~Becca, my second big boss
"Great, Couldn't be better, Awesome!"
~Response from group of counselo rs.
"C'mon guys, be brutally honest...You can even swear."
