Throwback Thursday: High School Politician Nolan!

This is from 1988 — it was my speech when I ran for president of the International Student Organization at Longwood High School.

I even had buttons made up.  I was quite the extrovert back in those days (and a nerd too, in case you hadn’t noticed).  But I wasn’t exactly Marcus Antonius, even if I wanted to be.

Note the use of a dot matrix printer!  😀

This just turned up in my Twitter feed. Now I feel ANCIENT.

And “primitive.”

It’s a Terrable mistake.

My buddy Tara had her name misspelled at Starbucks, and now I can never stop thinking of her as Terra of the Teen Titans.

She’s   also    an  editor, so I occasionally add    extra spaces in sentences to    make her nuts.

Sometimes I think it’s challenging for people to be friends with me.

I admit it. This was a fowl pun.
