    I can't believe I got caught by #32!! That was the song they played during basketball warm-ups.

    I remember when I finally learned how to do a tight roll consistently and then when I got to the first day of school that year, I noticed that nobody else was doing that anymore and I felt like such a dork.

    I love it!! The kid with the tight-rolled jeans looks like every boy I went to school with in the 8th grade.

    We did friendship pins, staftey pins with little beads on them and put them on our shoelaces. We were too cool.

    Oh, you need to find a Dillard's. Yesterday I saw they were selling rabbit fur leg warmers. No, I am not kidding. I guess you get your lucky rabbit foot and warm legs in one simple step that way.
