Crushes, ahhhhh, I was boy crazy and had lots of crushes. Dated a lot too, just never got serious.

One guy had a crush on me throughout high school. He was cute and sweet and shy. I thought he was really wonderful. He always gave me a Valentine's Day gift and sometimes a Christmas gift. Other kids were mean to him and made fun of him but I was always nice. After we graduated his mother called me and told me I needed to be mean to him and ignore him so he'd move on from me. I wouldn't do it and be mean to him, couldn't hurt him like that. Anyway, I haven't seen him for many years and I wonder if he ever married.

Aww - you are so nice. I bet you made a difference in his life - even if you didn't return his affections. (oh and that Mom - bless her heart - FAIL)

Actually....

I should start a new thread and lock this one.

How come? To give it a more inclusive name where it's not just old people and young people?

Sage · Apr 14, 2010

No. When they get to a certain size, we're supposed to split them out and start a new one (same first post). And OPWFT and TWFT are much longer than that size....

Cuz we're almost at 1700 pages... that's my guess...

Can we be the Marginally Old People Writing for Teens? Or maybe our new friend Lindsay's term...

Old-ish People Writing for Teens?

"Old enough to know better, Too young to care" People Writing for Teens.

But yes, the TWFT thread is also getting crazy long.

LMAO! I haven't thought of "By the power of Greyskull!" in FOREVER!
Thanks for the 80's memory there!

That is awesome. We know someone important

I loved this year's changes, they were great. I still never found the water cooler though.

Sage · Apr 14, 2010

Okay, go play with the twifties for a while. I'll try not to destroy the thread. Try...
