I've never missed school, working may be shit but at least I get paid for it. Also nothing wrong with sniffing your dog although probably best to do it in private.
I miss Jr. High (8th grade), since there is where I had my fun and met my 2 best friends, got my first criminal record, was the 1st in 5 years to be caught w/ alcohol on campus, new the campus police probabley better than my teachers, and learned that my vote really doesnt fucking count. Ahh....the good ol' years. (Only went to High School for about a semester all together. heh)
I miss the last 2 years of high school the most. Despite those damned classes getting in the way, those were some of the best times of my life. Cause girls seemed to finally discover me. It was great.
