Confession: I almost never wore tights. Uncomfortable things, on me.
1920's vintage dresses and 1940's menswear, a la Lauren Bacall. That was me.
And antique kimonos.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No social life == no sneaking in after curfew, no drugs, no car accidents... boy, were my parents unprepared for my younger brother.
Betsy is me. Then came college, and gaming until all hours. Even saw snow in New Orleans because I didn't get in until 5:30 a.m. one night.

If I only had a brain...
I not only hid in the library, I worked there. Mmmm, books. Like being a morphine addict employed in a pharmacy.

I worked in the library.
I dated outside of my school circle, though. And did bad things, natch.

Nutty, thanks for the cites! It's interesting and depressing. The 31% of teens who got into a car with someone who drank in the previous 30 days seems low low low to me.

And 31% had been in a car where the driver had been drinking within the 30 days prior to the survey. 31%!!
well, if the driver was drinking 30 days ago, wouldn't it be safe now? (cause that's how I originally read the sentence)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right, I didn't phrase it properly.
The 31% (32% m, 29% f) was have you done this in the past 30 days, and they didn't have a statistic for have you done this in the last year, or ever, because then the statistics would skyrocket. They did say it was down from 35% overall in the 1997 report.
Also, bike helmet wearing is up (to like 18%) and motorcycle helmet wearing is holding steady somewhere close to 80%.
In my heart, I think I am a statistics nerd.

Again, 31% seems kind of low to me still. Dude, among my adult friends, at least 2 (though probably more) have gotten into a car with someone driving who has been drinking. And that is in this past year alone -- people who know better.
Changed it to read less like a statistic more like the truth.
