Somebody Stop Me
<p>Because I can’t seem to stop myself.</p><p>I was never a ‘joiner’ in High School. I was never part of a defined group. There were defined groups, don’t get me wrong, I just wasn’t ‘part’ of them. One day I’d wear my jean jacket (with the <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=555&entry_id=114" title="http://www.led-zeppelin.com/home.html" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.led-zeppelin.com/home.html’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">Led Zeppelin</a> and <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=556&entry_id=114" title="http://www.acdcrocks.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.acdcrocks.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">AC/DC</a> patches) and a button down shirt with <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=557&entry_id=114" title="http://www.timberland.com/home/index.jsp" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.timberland.com/home/index.jsp’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">Timberlands</a> with my jeans tucked into my socks and the boots untied just-so and I’d be part of the ‘hoods’ or ‘the smokers’. Next day I’d wear my <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=558&entry_id=114" title="http://www.izod.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.izod.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">Izod</a> shirt with the collar up, extra tight jeans tucked into my matching socks and my purple hight-top <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=559&entry_id=114" title="http://store.reebok.com/home/index.jsp?cid=" onmouseover="window.status=’http://store.reebok.com/home/index.jsp?cid=’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">Reeboks</a> and be a ‘prep’. Then, just to stir things up, I’d wear my bohemian skirt with a Boy George hat and be my own group.</p><p><a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=560&entry_id=114" title="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/uploads/Buttons/erispull.jpg" onmouseover="window.status=’http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/uploads/Buttons/erispull.jpg’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;"></a><a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=561&entry_id=114" title="http://k-knit.blogspot.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://k-knit.blogspot.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;
