She'd be horrified that I don't go to many concerts any more and that I hate my job but enjoy my life with a house to take care of a cat and a long-term boyfriend. <br /><br />Ok I don't think she'd be horrified at the Boyfriend part. The rest of it though.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686803288323819543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894787296999272739.post-61860693153282644472010-09-15T12:33:31.094-07:002010-09-15T12:33:31.094-07:00My hair is brown.

Oh, also - I took out my nose ring. =P But if you ask (the 26-year-old) me, my 16-year-old self was an immature, angsty douche.

Not getting my entire wardrobe from Salvation Army? Going to my second choice college? 16-year-old me was 100% sure I'd be a virgin when I got married. (Har!)
