Did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters, listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each others awesomeness?

I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs.

I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
girl school thinking
I was one of I think three white girls in my school. So, I was very much an outsider. And plus I was Jewish and all of my friends were black and Baptist because they listen to the coolest music. We were all listening to Ray Charles and what was then called race music.

It was long ago and far away, The world was younger than today, And dreams were all they gave for free, To ugly duckling girls like me.
