Some huge fag from my high school was on "Howie Do it" and he got fucked over pretty good.

He also was a backup person on some History Channel tv show for a whopping like 3 seconds. LOVES posting pics on Instagram about that, not one though from 'Howie Do it' :lawl:

Had classes with Kelly Olynyk. It's awesome seeing him make his dream happen.

Bryan Adams took French/English courses at my high school, though I believe he spent most of his high school years at another high school in another district.

One of the women from that "Real Housewives of Vancouver" TV show graduated from my high school Burnaby North back in the day.

Reiko, maiden name Henderson. Wow, she drove a '91 Corvette ZR1 in high school? Grad class of 1992.

He was a north Burnaby kid, definately.
He' still best friends with an old buddy of mine who was my grandparents neighbour. Whenever we used to visit my grandparents I would go over to my buddie's house. I hated when "Mike" was there, and used to start trouble with him. He was always a fruity "shoop de doop do wop" little prick.....

They filmed ALOT of 21 jump street at my school. I met johnny Dep a number of times as a result so I guess you can say he attended my school lol.
Yes I'm dating myself but thats ok.

miss_crayon 07-25-2013 12:47 PM

My niece's mom went to school with Michael Buble's sister (Crystal), granted we all went to the same elementary school (obvs he graduated years before I did) and his parents?grandparents are my bestie's neighbour. I feel like she had a hockey player in her grad class too.....


And....a girl that graduated a few years after me in highschool is now a backup dancer for Justin Bieber. Don't know her personally or anything
but I think it's pretty cool. OH and wouldn't call this a celebrity but this guy from my brother's grad year won Mr. Canada or something.


And a girl I know a couple years younger than me was a model for babyphat

A few guys in one of my circles went to SDSS with Jason Priestly. Didn't have much nice to say about him when he hit it big in 90210. I think they were just jelly. :badpokerface:

We joke about how they came across on the boat from Italy with my grandparents.
:lol

Well, not exactly. The Italians in North Burnaby were a close knit group, plus they always had big dinners, the Cuccione foundation, etc, etc, etc. MB would perform at the events, even when he was younger. That made me dislike him even more.

Scott Hannan (long time NHLer) went to my HS. He also happened to be D partners with my older brother pretty much throughout minor hockey so, lucky me, being his friend's little brother I got it pretty bad from him.
