College is overrated anyway.
And I think some lawyers were in special ed classes anyway. (My divorce lawyer anyway)
I left home at 13 so there was alot to do being out there so long, I have to say all the way through I geuss, survival to bussiness owership back to skool some things to do over seas, few years of fitigue been a long road...
I've never fully stepped out of the '70's....I never want to, that was the best memories that I have........I'm still free spirited, and that is due to the era.........
Ummmmm I don't know where you've been but Cavaricci's are still around, in fact I have a pair on as I sit here typing Jordache and Gloria Vanderbilts are back on the racks too Although you'll never see me in a pair of Chic or Gitano's ever again
Geeez Goose.....See what you did to me! Next I'll be chewing bubble yum blowing big huge bubbles and making that loud cracking sound with it, and buying Aqua Net hairspray by the case and using a can a day on my hair along with the curling iron!
I'd like to say it was probably from approx. 11 years of age onwards, as that is when I really started developing my hobbies which I still have now (dogs being the main thing). However the truth is that the period that most influenced the person I've become today is the childhood, like it or lump it...
traveling for 7 years opened my mind. I have just come back to my point of origen and I feel very different to those around me, although this is the countryside.

Ah, this is a difficult one considering most of my life is pretty much a void i dont talk about, but i changed when my son was born, and gave up my career.
The episode of separation from the child's mother and then being a single parent and what subsequently happened has made me have distinct views on relationships and if any aspect of my life has a negative consequence on someone i get involved with i would out of conscience feel it was unfair on my part to ask others to deal with what is essentially my problem.
So in closing, i'm pretty selfless, as i dont want an unhappy life, and certainly dont want to make anyone elses life unhappy either.
Fortunately, though i know someone who is very much like me

Truly an awesome era.....I can vaguely remember the parties my parents had when I was a kid.
Oh, and the all the crazy stories that were told to me by some of my parents friends. The 70's sounded like a great time....to bad I was just a kid. Totally different America. I can say that the 80's had a strong influence on me today...I just bought a cell phone like 3 months ago. I always refused to buy one....my reasoning was that there were no cell phones in the 80's and things were just fine....
Grade 6-8 set everything in motion for me, and I've been changing ever since. I am who I am today as a result of all my life's experiences. A year from now I won't be the person I was today. At least I hope I won't be. As someone once said, God loves me just the way I am, but He loves me too much to leave me that way. JMO
