zyzylyI'm not much of a meme person, and I'm way too lazy to make the effort to answer these personally, but I do feel somewhat obligated since everyone else is doing it.
So why don't you answer them for me?
Give it your best shot--one question, first come-first serve.
Feel free to make my teenage years much more interesting than they actually were.

2. What were your three favorite bands or musical artists?
3. What was your favorite clothes?
4. What was up with your hair?
5. Who were your best friends?
6. Where did you work?
7. What did you do after school?
8. Did you take the bus?
9. Who did you have a crush on?
10. Did you fight with your parents?
11. Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?
12. Did you smoke cigarettes?
13. Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack because you were too
nervous to find your locker?
14. Did you have a 'clique'?
15. Admit it, were you popular?

You wore it bouffanty sort of like that actor wanna be on Taxi.

You were everyone's friend.

You wanted to figure out what kind of job you could get where you worked for three days and had four days to party in each week.

You probably weren't sure and probably never even thought about it.
