- Go to Spitfire: In High School Graduation: Voted “Most Likely To….” What?
Well
Somehow I was well known enough to get voted one and it was 'Most Likely to be in the Guinness Book Of World Records.' Never really understood what they meant by that. Note sure if it was a compliment or insult and since the way it was done seemed more of a popularity contest, I was really puzzled that I was even given one of those. I was really far from being in the 'in' crowd, although I did more or less get along with eveyrone, even though I disliked most of them.

Oh, Chrissy.
You wish. hehe But, nope. It wasn't that. I'm flattered by your guess though.

Justsouno,
One has been answered. In fact, the other "most likely to" vote seemed to be the one that the underground newspaper would make more sense if they voted me as stand up comedian rather than what the regular one did!

Spitfire perhaps an ambassador or some sort of diplomat or
a psychiatrist or a Witch. Nice post. I liked just reading you again. All these careers require learning of and knowing people very well. Be blessed.

Spiff,
I can only guess that you might have been voted to be some variety of rabble-rouser or revolutionary haggler.
I'll have to go back to my Grande Finale Yearbook to see if there's anything about me in there. I think there's only a crappy photograph with my name under it. A ''Mug Shot'' is all I can think to call it. I was the school anti-hero, friends only with other anti-heroes. Whiteys called me ''Who,'' Hispanics called me ''Pinche,'' blacks looked at me bad, and Asians looked at me with a blank expression. If any ''most likely'' shit came around, I never saw it.

LE Gant,
Well, maybe they saw something in you that you didn't see? (Even if it wasn't of your personal interest.) Maybe they saw potential of great things in that area.

Spitfire: No, everybody knew that I wrote - that was why the politician thing. But the English (and other language) teachers "hated" me because I prefered science and math, and stated a loathing for Chrales Dickens (I prefered Conrad) and Shakespeare (GBS was much better).

STRAT WINS!!!!
Strat wins the correct answer for the main school newspaper vote!! Dead on, man! 
I'm very impressed! (The answer was voted "Most Likely to become a stand up comedian.) Now, there is still a guess left for what our underground paper voted me as. We were anonymous writers, but we still had our own votes given from students. They included most likely to's about school staff members, the so-called "popular crowd" and our own underground "staff" were included on the list for votes but without giving revealing that we were actually part of the staff. (We could literally get kicked out of school if our identities were ever revealed.)
So, woo hoo to you, Strat!! 5 clicks to you. Sorry to say, though, ya really didn't "win" much cause I already click on you regularly. But, at least now you get the guarantee! hehe Oh, and here's a hint about the underground vote. Strat was very close with his second guess.

I-R-Will,
Isn't it funny how so many from the "in" crowd become fat losers down the future road of life? hehe Kinda kewl! Especially the stuck up ones who always thought they were da bomb back then. Many of the girls were so much different than I pictured them to be at my 10 year reunion, too.

koriani,
Well, at least they knew and recognized you as an animal lover, right? But, I can't see you as a crazy cat lady. You and I both know first hand what those women are really about!! Scary!

Factor,
I know how ya feel. I hate birthdays now. Well, I've never been one to "celebrate" them anyway, but these days it just kinda sucks becoming a year older. I try to just focus on what I've learned for the past year. This past b-day, I learned that I hate the I.P. more than I previously realized.

L.E. Gant,
I guess maybe you kept your writing to yourself as far as making it a public part of you and your character? I think you're a great writer.

Oh, and LizzyM,
How were you into the "witchcraft thing" back then? I was, but not yet initiated cause I was still studying and too young to become official. I pretty much kept that part of my life private to others in school cause I'm sure most wouldn't understand. It was none of their business anyway!

Closest I came was being nominated for nicest eyes (that was before all nighters in college). Your first paragraph is right on. Check my Opinion Blog for a real news story if you are interested.

After my very first all night kegger,
I was probably voted "Most Likely To Explode." After my senior year in high school, I was probably voted "Most Likely to be a License Plate Craftsman For the State."
I'm thinking you were voted most likely to become a Stand Up Comic or a political satirist.

I was voted "Most Unique" senior year in high school...
Unofficially, I was voted "Most likely to be a crazy cat lady with hundreds of cats". LOL.
I have the crazy part down and, although I don't OWN a hundred cats (only 5), I work with hundreds (thousands even) of cats. I guess it's close enough!

thinking...what would you be?...
Myself, I was "smartest," runnerup for most likely to succeed, and I got about a half a dozen votes for "best physique." I had to throw in the last one since with the recent birthday I am grumpy about aging.

Me, I was voted "the most likely to..."in a number of different things. "Most likely to blow up parliament" "Most likley to get into parliament and become prime minister" "Most likely to be Moriarty".
The funny part was that I loathed politics, could not give a damn about trying for parliament. And I was too lazy to become a criminal mastermind. Not one mentioned me as a writer!

I was voted most likely to end up in prison.
Unofficially of course, not in year book. When I went to my year book I was in law school and working for the DA's office. :) You? Geez, it should be something like me, but I can't imagine. Most likely to do porn? to be my cellmate? to strip and run naked through the superbowl?

In high school, I was very into the witchcraft thing. I also wore too much makeup which probably made everyone afraid of me, not like now where I wear too much makeup to mask my pain. Also, I was a shade on the evil side. Back then, I would have voted myself "most likely to talk shit about my high school peers fifteen years later." And now, it looks as though I followed through on that vote. They would have voted me "most likely to still be holding a grudge against us fifteen years later."

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on here posting at this hour. All of the popular kids in my high school ended up pregnant, in jail, or just big losers after high school. I was so invisible I didn't get voted most likely to do a thing..I'm surprised I was allowed to even have my picture in there. Gross. Now I'm having high school flashbacks.
