5 things I liked in high school that I don't like now:
- purple eye shadow (why didn't anyone tell me how I really looked with that stuff on?)
- Wham, Culture Club, and Reba McEntire
- Big hair, Texas-style (that is, really big hair, especially the bangs)
- Ronald Reagan
- white wicker furniture
5 things I didn't like in high school that I still don't like
- getting up before 8am
- writing papers for school
- pretensious or snobby people (probably because I was something of a nerd, and still am)
- The Canterbury Tales (I'll keep trying, though)
- very tailored clothing
5 things I liked in high school that I still like now
- Prince, Violent Femmes, and George Strait
- denim miniskirts (still one of my favorite items of clothing)
- long hair (as long as it's not too big)
- dressing up for special occasions, and staying up late with good friends
- Rocky Horror Picture Show and Monty Python's Holy Grail
5 things I didn't like in high school that I do like now
- commemorating special occasions, such as graduations (for some reason, I was more averse to this back then, much to my parents' rightful disappointment)
- spending time with my sister (Ok, that sounds harsh, but you know how sisters can be in high school -- it's ruthless! And now she's truly a best friend.)
- drinking beer (really, I hated it in high school, it was wine coolers back then)
- learning languages (I hated studying French at Lubbock High, but now I'd enjoy it)
- The thought of being in my 30's -- sounded dreadful, but it's great

Well, it just goes to show how much YOUNGER you are than I am. Prince didn't hit the scene until after I was well out of high school. But it's all good. My eye shadow of choice was blue. Shiny blue. (Again, a product of the 70s.) I think there aren't any pictures of me wearing it though, for which we are truly thankful.
Oh, yeah, like the new background. Much easier on the old (and I mean that literally) eyes.
