senior superlatives

recurring reminiscence:

when i was a senior in high school, my early morning routine relied on my ability to orchestrate the following: driving a manual transmission (83 celica gt... sadly, my ride was no match for the many primer-grey monte carlos and cherry 'ros to be found in the senior parking lot) on a dark and two lane country road, smoking no less than three cigarettes during the 30 minute drive, holding on to my oversized but lidless coffee mug (we didn't have nissan stainless thermoi back then), flipping back and forth between morning edition and any number of punk rock allstars (senior year was all about sigue sigue sputnik, the misfits, and the dead kennedys), and avoiding getting nailed by any number of primer-grey cars barrelling past me at (literally) breakneck speeds.

all of this at 6 in the morning.
