FFA Topic: What is the lamest thing you ever did as a teenager that you thought was SOOOOO cool?
Okay, unlike the rest of you yahoos, I have no dilusions of grandeur. I was the biggest idiot ever as a teenager but of course, thought I rocked it. I don't even know where to begin and I don't think I can pick just one thing! I'll pick my top three (in no particular order):
1. The paint can-I carried a paint can purse. Yes, it was a little tricky to open but that meant nothing to me--the attention it got was PHENOMENAL. (And that is, after all, what pretty much every teenage girl is after no matter how much she protests!) I painted it and put stickers all over it and all sorts of other lame crap. Oh, the paint can purse...
2. The piercings: My quote in the senior yearbook is "Pierced is beautiful." I had my nose and eyebrow pierced and multiple piercings in my ears, including my...what's the actual term for that little flappy thing the stick out in your ear? Hold on. Let me google. Okay, never mind. I can't find out what it's called. 100 Magical Jenni Points for the person who finds out what it's called! Anyway, I pierced it. Yikes.
3. The tattoos: I was Baptist and all on fire for the Lord, dontcha know. What's a born again Christian to do? Why, tattoo a gigantic Jesus fish with a cross inside! The greatest thing is that the lady who did it was really stoned so she dug in way too deep and it got infected and..it was a whole situation. So what did I do? Why, I went to get another one! The second one, a smaller lauburu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauburu). Boy have I lived to regret these, especially since changing religions! Let me tell you, when we moved into the ward we're in, the Young Men thought I was AWESOME because I have tattoos. If only it'd had the same effect when I was their age...

Okay, the tats totally had the same effect on me when I first met you. I knew right off we were destined to be BFFs.
I am, however, going to need to see photographic evidence of the piercings.
Hahaha... A paint can purse, huh? CLASSIC! One of my cousins made purses made out of FedEx tape in high school. I thought that was pretty sweet, but a paint can purse steals the show, all the freakin way. I love it!
How is it that we have known each other for nine years; We lived together; We've been through the highes and lowes; You are one of the friends that I could never get rid of (no matter how hard I try) and yet we didn't know that we both had our traguses pierced!!! I don't think I'd ever pierce my nose again but I miss that tragus piercing! We should add that to our "Things we'll do when we apostasize" list.
P.S. I used to wear a denim jacket that Matt had covered with safety pins on one side and an antelope hide on the other (NO JOKE). I don't know how much hair I lost on those pins but it was a lot. It totally would have matched your purse.
None of mine even come close to yours. I am not worthy.
I have to say, you're pretty cool! I thought a tattoo would have been great, but alas, I'll have to live vicariously through you.
By the way, I heard the word "snarky" the other day on t.v. and I thought of you. my exact thought was, "Hey - she's using Peggy's word!" Maybe you should get a trademarked.
I bow to your badness.
