Would I?
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

I sometimes wish I could be 17 again. I think I wish for this because, in many significant ways, I've let my life happen to me. If I could make many of those choices again - actually make them this time, rather than letting the world make them for me - I would do things differently.
But is that really what I want? To be 17 again?
I recently came across someone I used to know. He has so much drama in his life, it's crazy. His wife actually wants to "start something" with me, which I think means that she wants to...fight me? Is that what that means? I don't even remember.
I miss having every possibility open to me, but I don't miss the naivete or the hormones. I think I've held on to more playfulness than most, but I am glad I've grown up. At least a little bit.

hmmm - I think she want to lezzer you up. How are you at eating carpet?
Perhaps by "start something" she just wants to start a club or something, maybe she's really into knitting!

I'm taking it that the stunned silence is due to the inappropriateness of the earlier comment... lesson learned
Completely inappropriate, and otherwise perfect! :) I think you might be right.
