Things I Wish I Knew in High School

  • If someone tells you that you are oversensitive, that person is probably a jerk.
  • Always use protection. Yes, you. Yes, always.
  • Boys who say, “I’m kind of messed up,” probably are.
  • If someone asks for your phone number and that person
    creeps you out, it's okay to give the wrong number.
  • When you don't want to talk to someone, you don't
    have to pick up the telephone.

About the Amazon Links

  • The thumbnail images of books and albums on this site connect you to Amazon.com -- but that's because Amazon and my web service provider have a partnership, so it's extremely easy to put images on my site.
    However, I don't get any kind of kickback if you buy any of these items and I don't endorse any particular bookstore over any other.

1. Erm...I have no idea...

2. A hair band. Hmm. Well, I think the term "long-hair" means kind of an artist, kind of out there. So maybe a hair band is some kind of hippie-ish, random, indie band?

3. What's a whaa--? An emu?

4. Nah, but my friends have. I've heard the Christina Aguilera/Pink/Mya/Li'l Mama music video...Does that count?

5. DUDE! ONLY THE BEST BAND EVER!! I think "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of my favorite songs EVER. And where would the world be without the catchy "We Will Rock You" beat? Nowhere, I tell you! Nowhere!

6. Ugly but comfortable shoes. I think they're German.

7. Actually, I took the SAT in 7th grade. But mostly seniors take them nowadays. Some really advanced juniors do too, though.

8. A totally sleek, amazing, get-dehydrated-from-drooling-over-it moped kind of motorbike. Lime green = luff!!

9. Anime is Japanese art where all the girls are emaciated and blond with huge eyes that normal girls would kill to have. And all the guys are kind of girly-looking but drop-dead gorgeous. And they have awesome hair. But sometimes the book goes backwards. Which is HIGHLY confusing.

10. Um...that sounds like the kind of thing where an ulcer implodes or something. Wow. Painful much?

11. Nah. I'm no movie buff. It's Disney all the way, man! ^^

12. Hmm. He wasn't one of the Beatles, was he? No, that was that other John guy...

13. Edith? Wharton? What an unfortunate name. Which means "no". =)

14. Yup! Never seen it, but the theme song is really really addictive.

--Wow...I am soooooo uninformed...^^

  • I was voted worst driver in my senior class.

    friendless; at the other, just the opposite.
  • I have two cats and one of them is a big barfer.
  • Orthodonture history includes three years of braces,
