Paula Broadwell went to my high school and was homecoming queen

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Something my mom learned from one of her co-workers, who was in the same class. She supposedly even got a homecoming queen picture of her. I should see if my mom still has it and if she can send it, I'm curious now. But interesting factoid.

Wait, you went to the same high school as your mother?

Erm no I never said that. I went to the same high school as one of my mom's co-workers.

This is where my mom went to high school: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Prague_High_School
This is where I did (note the "notable alumni"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_High_School_(Bismarck,_North_Dakota)

I had no idea there's HS education in North Dakota.

Yes, it's not like it's consistently in the top 5 states for high school graduation rates or anything...
