If I were Cool, I'd be Drinking
Borrowed this lovely survey from Psianina, and after altering it a smidge at the end, thought I'd smack it up here for all to see.
About 15 years ago I ...
...outweighed my brother
...enjoyed both 'Scooby-Doo' and 'The Smurfs'
...thought pink was not only a color, but a lifestyle
About 10 years ago I ...
...wore acid washed jeans and side ponytails
...fashioned dresses out of curtains and paraded about the farm as though I were a pioneer
...got a pet goat that we named Harry, who grazes yet on the lawn
...had no friends
...drew pictures of the Ninja Turtles and sold them at school for a quarter
About 2 years ago I ...
...performed two songs I had written in our school's talent show, to applause but no reward
...began my career as a professional bitch
...not only had band mates, but best friends
...wore bell bottoms nearly every day
...went to Lilith Fair and subsequently vowed to never again pay for lawn seats
...starred as Rosie in my school's production of 'Bye, Bye Birdie'
About 1 year ago I ...
...fell in love
...starred as Rizzo in our school's production of 'Grease'
...felt like a fairy princess at prom
...graduated high school with a happy middle finger
...gave tearless farewells to things I never knew I would miss
...was mauled, on two accounts, by Captain Caveman
...realized who my real friends are
Today I ...
...had my ass ogled by a group of drunk men
...started to wash the dishes and abandoned the task
...listened to the new Incubus album
...daydreamed, about both college and cute forbidden line servers
...ate stir fried rice
Tomorrow I will ...
...wish Busboy Owen liked me
