25 at 25 pt4


16. My sister and I have the same embarrassing moment. It is mine because three of my best guy friends in high school threw my bloody (not from my nose) shorts at each other’s faces, and it is my sister's because I blamed it on her (totally innocent third party- I said they were hers, and acted equally grossed out). They totally bought it.

17. I've swallowed a living goldfish. Varsity soccer initiation. I feel terribly about it, so please don't call PETA on me.

18. When I was little I had a friend named Michael. We once unwrapped all the presents under the Christmas tree and threw them in the pool. We were banned from playing with each other.

19. I hated my freckles most of my life. I think it was because when little kids would draw me, I would be a little stick figure with a huge head, long hair, and covered with spots all over my face. Not so pretty. I wore 20 lbs of makeup in high school to cover them, and would NOT let people see me without makeup on because I thought they were so hideous. Now, I love being covered with spots.

20. Not to dwell on high school, but I was the BIGGEST nerd ever. Not like masking-taped glasses and suspenders ( I WISH ), but was WAY worse. I wanted to be popular more than ANYTHING. I would watch longingly as the beautiful "popular" girls walk by, slam myself against the lockers behind me and think, "Wow, there they go....so perfect and beautiful and the boys just flock to them…….and one day, they'll talk to me, I just know it". They never did. I remained unpopular my entire high school career. I watched TGIF every Friday. I still would if it was on.

I thought you were one of those coyote girls (or whatever they were called) in high school school. I've always thought you were beautiful! Except maybe that time when you peed in my bathtub.

I think that of these five stories numero 18 is my fav. You never cease to amaze me.

Okay, so we both know that post was a lie.

Remi, I am very disturbed... is TGIF that show with Urkel? Please tell me I am wrong. Now Growing Pains, on the other hand, there is a quality show.

We all know you were the reason many a girls slammed themselves against their locker - Never to achieve the greatness you were/are destined for.

#18. I always wondered why I didn't get any presents that year.

Haaaaaa. Number 18 made me laugh so hard. That's hilarious. You are hilarious. Ah how I wish we lived next door to each other. Life would be much more enjoyable. Oh and I miss TGIF. I still know all the words to Step By Step. Sadly. I get it in my head all the time.
