MollyGoLightly Hmmm...fifteen. Weight loss, bus rides, too-earnest boys calling at 2 a.m. A very "writing band names on my science folder" sort of time. 000504 ... Brad A very dark and sinister time. Fifteen was the most miserable age of my life. All of jr. high was, in fact. 000505 ... dean-bean "Roses are red, and violets are for plucking. You are fifteen and ready for high school" ---Kurt Vonnetgut Jr. 000505 ... MollyCule Does anyone else remember the show "Fifteen" that was on Nickelodeon in 91-92, something like that? It had the doctor guy from "two guys, a girl, and a pizza place". He was "The Rebel". Very very cheesy indeed. 000519 ... MollyGoLightly YES! Oh lord, this kind of nostalgia feels like an ice cream headache ...ow...owww 000519 ... birdmad wow, it was 1987 for me the year i decided that i was the wrong sort to become a priest. Heard the Violent Femmes for the first time, fell in love for the first time, gained my first insight into the nature of mortality and the inevitability of death...wrote really bad poetry god, was it really so long ago? 000519 ... The Schleiffen Man ah yes fifteen, when i was only 6' 2" and just getting into computers. i collected comics. i already had a 30 on my ACT. i had a few friends but i was forced to change schools yet again due to my education zelot of a father (he likes working in schools, not biotching about them). i'd had neither car, nor job, nor woman so i was still happy and unknowing of the world around me. but i could still tell you who rboert wadlow was. 000519 ... Brad This was before I got into jazz, and when i still thought classical music was for dorks. I was more into chicago and delta blues... Albert King was king, Albert Collins was trés hip, and I was still trying to solve the mystery of Robert Johnson. Oh yeah... I also was really, really into nirvana, Dinosaur Jr. and other such bands. It had been eight years already since my first guitar, and three since my first electric guitar. It was a metallic red one that looked like it belonged in a hair band, but i loved it. A time when I read guitar world magazine to figure out what I liked. Youth is so fun, sometimes. 000519 ... MollyGoLightly Robert Wadlow: the tall man in the Guiness Book of World Records? Sometimes you just make me smile, Schleiffen Man. 000519 ... MollyGoLightly It's strange looking at pictures of that girl. Too skinny: long, crazy hair. Blank face. No, not entirely blank--can see the beginnings of something fierce there. 000521 ... diabolos the age when i stopped trying to balance the duality of my nature and let the wild things run free 000521 ... lola i listened to pink floyd and the beatles on a Fisher-Price record player. i did well in school. i played a bitter secretary in that year's school musical. i felt stuck, but i was patient. i liked colin b. (still) but it wasn't much of an issue. and i had an obsession with twin peaks. 000521 ... jennifer upon moving back I found something interesting I found two tapes marked (respectively) "Fifteen Volume 1" and "Fifteen Volume 2" So I watched it. I had, in my possession 12 hours of Nickolodean daytime drama and I thought it was pretty cool 000525 ... silentbob dude, all you guys are talking about when you were 15, i came here to talk about the band fifteen. they are awesome. their lyrics all make so much sense to me, if everyone could hear them, it would really make SOME kind of difference.
