    Wrecked my first Car

    So it wasn't a 58 Plymouth Fury. They restore themselves after they get wrecked.

    When I was 17 was a senior in high school,ready to graduate in June 1982 and knew everything there was to know about life.

    When I was 18 I realized I was a damn fool that didn`t know anything about anything.

    When I was 17, people thought I was a little slutty(they were right). I got drunk for the very first time. I had fabulous hair. I fell in love for the very first time. Later that year, I had my heart truly broken for the very first time, by my first love.

    haha yay TLC, and Salt N Pepa and En Vogue :)

    Those were the days :)

    But... I think when I was 17 I listened to metallica

    I had a horribly ugly faded silver 1980 Buick Skylark with only an AM radio

    We called it the nerd mobile :)

    I was a total band geek

    oh and when I was 17 I went away to college to get a degree in music education.

    YAY! When I was 17 I was a major band geek too! I was boy crazy and dated a super jerk and thought I was "in love"....and followed him to college to a college that didnt have my degree program! Now 5 years later, I am truly regretting that as I am FINALY in nursing school and have a pointless degree I cant do anything with!!

    When I was 17, I was 6'4' and 155 lbs. people mistook me for string.

    I lived with two collage roommates.

    I wrote a term paper the night Cherise Stone slept over, no one else was in the house and she kept coming out to talk to me with less and less clothing on. (still causes me to bang my head on the desk due to my lameness)

    I lost the "who gets drunk first" game and my friends poured peroxide in my hair. in their defense, I did so much worse to them when they lost the game other times.

    When I was 17, I drove a car that was a year older than I was. It was a 1966 Datsun stationwagon. It burned oil. It had been brush painted the same color as a green m&m. I was teased mercilessly. I didn't care. Most of those that were making fun of me had NO car! Thanks. You made me remember some fun times driving my GREEN MACHINE!

    When I was 17:

    I thought I had it all figured out...I hadn't a clue:laugh:

    I thought I was fat, but now am working HARD just to get CLOSE to that weight:frown:

    I could eat anything and not gain a pound, now I can't eat anything without gaining a pound:grumble:

    Thought the idea of having kids would be easy, because, ya know, it's kinda like babysitting...right?:huh:

    I drank and smoked and liked feeling like an adult, now I don't drink, don't smoke and don't like feeling like an adult...:sad: (j/k)

    :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

    When i was a 17, I:

    was a band geek
    worked at McDonalds
    always had at least $250 in my wallet (wtf? oh yea... no bills, no mortgage, no...) - now I'm lucky to have .25
    spent most nights after work clubbing in Hollywood
    had no curfew (3am was standard)
    chose to go 2000 miles away to college

    drove a 1976 Chevy Cordova (did you know you can fit 10 people in one of those monsters - o.k. a little smushed, but still)

    I graduated high school with honors.
    I was on the varsity tennis team.
    I was aspiring to put out albums as an MC.
    I rolled with gangbangers and drug dealers.
    I was smokin' cigarettes, herb, and drinkin' at house parties.
    I hated the world and everything in it.
    I never smiled.
    I'd roll solo to different areas and bang on gang members hoping they'd retaliate and kill me.
    I met my ex.
    I didn't think I'd live to be 21.
