Christi Morris:  

I hope that I am remembered period! I had to leave Shawnee January 1, 1984 & didn't get to graduate with all the people that I had grown up with. At the time, of course, my life was over! Moved to Nashville, TN (or just south of) & ended up in a SNOBBY, preppy, did I mention Snobby? High School. Anyone that knew me then & knows me know will not argue the fact that preppy, prim and proper were not any of my stonger qualities. Jeans, Snoopy boxers, cut-off t-shirts & flip-flops were & are a little more my style. I went from Comfort over fashion in Shawnee USA to ARGILE HELL! Needless to say, I didn't blend in with the locals. As much as I hated the whole ordeal, I am glad that I did get the chance to meet some people before summer & make some of the best friends that I never thought would have been possible considering the differences in me &... well, the majority of the people at this new school. I did survive it (obviously-with speacial thanks to Mike Malone in OK & Jay Self & Mike Moss in TN: where are you now?) & I'm glad that I came when I did or my entire life would be completely different. I've been so many places, done so many things & had so many opportunities that I would have missed out on had I not left, but I wouldn't change my High School years in Shawnee for anything. Most people will probably remember me as always in trouble & grounded, a little on the wild side & those that knew me well will remember GERN! I HOPE people remember the parties, the fun, the floats & the friendships... because that's what I remember most! I always wanted to be a Designer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a a good possibility idea. As it turns out, they were right & wrong. I graduated from O'More College of Design w/ a degree in Interior Design. If I had only know then what I know now, I would have gone into Architecture; but this gave me the best of both worlds... for awhile! When homes aren't selling and businesses aren't booming, there's not alot of call for Designers... so I bought a house built in the 1800's & now I have a full time job for the rest of my life! However, knocking down walls & and ripping up floors (of your own home) doesn't pay the bills. Go figure! So I'm depending on my next passtion... animals (mostly dogs, but all animals). I'm publishing a book titled "Happy Tails Tell Happy Tales". This book is like a diary/journal for your dog. He/she tells the stories of all the special memories & milestones of thier life; including pictures, 1st times, & tons of amazing things we have & love our dogs for. It has been so fun & exciting - not to mention that I'm a foster Mom for pets too, so that just leads to more TALES. Dogs Lovers - please visit DogsRFamily2 dot com -(can't use addresses) I'm just getting set up (June 2009), but Mention "1984" & we'll work out a discount!! Favorite way to relax? What is relax? Is this a new word, I'm not familiar with it. LOL - Walking Dogs of course! It's probably my favorite time of the day, because I know it's their's! Right now I only have 3, the norm has been 5 for several years; wolf hybrids. The father was wolf/husky(80 lbs.), the mother wolf/shepard(120 lbs.) & she had 8 (5 pounds a piece) puppies, we kept 2. Last summer I lost the father & female pup (140 lbs.), the mother died in 2004, so now I only have the male pup(Thor - 195 lbs of massive dog) left of the wolves; but after becoming a Foster Mom for Dogs, I've rescued 2 that I ended up adopting. Roxi, a yellow lab (90 lbs.) & just last month I adopted LuLu, a Black lab/chow mix, she looks alot like Thor's Mother, but only 68 lbs. To most you that's probably a good size dog, but around here, she just looks so petite! (If anyone is interested in fostering pets-dogs, cats, S/M/L, please let me know, we need families all over the states for an unbelievable amount of animals. Many animals are losing their families because the families are losing their homes. Short term or long term, EVERY volunteer is appreciated! Email TopDog at DogsRFamily2 dotcom if you're intersted. The Wildest Thing I ever did IN school? Take your pick... during school hours, you can choose from #1: Ordering a Pizza in Miss Gilbride's Class during my Spicoli days, #2: My Famous Chewed Gum collection kept on the inside of my locker or #3: Getting High during DECA's career day where I dressed up like a 5 year old (pigtails, fr...Expand for more
