i feel priveledged, as i have recently been told priveledged information.
said information plunged me headfirst into introspection. wheeee! i'll spare the details, but basically, when i was 15 i ws an idiot, and i'm glad i didn't get into serious, serious trouble, as the opportunity was there since i was hanging out with the wrong crowd, etc.
at age 15 my intellectualism, which i had embraced my entire life, went into remission. i even quit reading. i love to read, and always have. i don't even remember not being able to read.
in fact, really until my junior year, high school was an intellectual holiday for me. luckily, AP US history and our dear school literary magazine helped get me out of my funk.
although i have no regrets, i do not understand where that phase came from. i have always, always loved the pursuit of knowledge, and yet, even outside of school, my brain just took a year off. reading wise, i'm still playing catch up to some of my friends; things they read at 15 i read much later.
anyway, enough of this rambling post. im tired and im sure most of that is incoherent. i'll end by saying that i wish, both for my sake and the sake of my friends, that we had been as close back then as we are now. i do believe it would have saved us all a lot of trouble.

I was on my school's literary magazine, very cool. Unfortunately, there were too few of us, and too much work... so we were always behind on deadlines, etc., but the six of us sure had fun!

I'd prefer your dream over mine. Dreaming of yourself sleeping is MUCH more relaxing than hunting ficticious demons. I spend enough of my waking hours doing that
