^^ oh man.. don't even get me started with that one LoL. in high school, i was a stuck up douche-bag, hung out with the wrong crowd, and ruined a lot of scholarship/grant opportunities because i wasn't ready to grow up [/sigh]
vv have you ever eaten any unconventional foods? (ie: scorpions, donkey, jelly-fish..)

I met Harlan Ellison once (famous sci-fi writer). He was really funny and nice. I also met the Newsboys and got their autographs last year.

when i was ready (20 yrs old), i grew up all at the same time. got a job, went to college, financed my education, moved out of my parents' house, and paid for rent/bills all on my own. it was hard but worth the experience; my pride kept me from accepting a hand-out from my parents when things got difficult too LoL
how about you?

I liked being an adult in college but I will say it was hard to relate to some of my classmates....One benefit was being wide awake for the 8 a.m. classes, which were always a LOT less crowded than the ones past 11 a.m.
I got some financial aid but not from my dad. I mostly worked my way through.
I still wonder what my life would have turned out like if I'd known I was up for a full-ride scholarship...but I don't know that I'd trade my life for that one, even so...I'd probably have been some dried-up, miserable academic working away on her 95th book that no one would have read...

Recently I recorded my co-workers desk phone ring on my cell. Then I play it while he is in earshot, he runs over in a panic only to "miss" the call cursing and swearing and can't figure out why it does not show up on the call-display... all co-workers within the local cubical area snicker and laugh.

I worked right out of HS, and then when I was 25, started taking college courses at night, one at a time. It took me 10 years to finish a 4-year degree, but a lot of life happened in between, including marriage, the birth of our first child, and the start of our 2nd child.
