I remember people holding up thier lighters and it being WAY TOO LOUD!! I did not like that at all.

One time (and I still feel bad about this), I was at a party (and fairly toasted)and was sitting in the drivers seat of this guys car. There were other girls in the car and we decided to start the car and take off with it. But I drove it through all these logging trails. I'm amazed to this day that I didn't get stuck! The guy was pretty ticked.

That was the thing about the concert - I didn't do drugs and I was looking around at everyone getting excited over the lighting show. LOL! I was thinking - "It's light bulbs flashing - big deal!" Drugs do strange things to people. LOL!

Lord, the car chases. I was driving a white Cadlliac and a four-wheel drive was chasing me! I lost him - that is good driving! I probably wouldn't have done as well if I was sober.

Not really - it was a holiday weekend and no one was there, BUT the guy I was dating. My friend and I went in there together, so it wasn't like something was going on............lol!

The worse part is I worked for the Dean - he made us go ALL weekend before talking to us on Monday. It WAS TERRIBLE!

My Mom was raised pretty well. Catholic. Definately liberal compared to UPC standards. My Dad's life was pretty rough. My grandmother was raised by her grandparents in a bar/resort. Her mother was alive but not responsible. My grandmother was raped when she was 16 and my Dad was born. Then, she married the man who adopted my Dad. They divorced years later when my grandpa had an affair and physically abused my aunt. My Dad was a very angry and emotionally unavailable man. My mom is a sweetheart.

Okay, now you know more than you ever wanted to know.

I know what you mean. I was like John Wayne. I didn't drink - a lot - all the time, but when I did - I pulled a drunk! LOL!

That's the thing about being patient with people. Sometimes, even with the Holy Ghost, it takes some time and effort to walk away from who you used to be!!! I'm speaking of the mental and emotional influences that affected you for years.
