When i was 14 or 15 i jumped the fence to AC/DC at Mt Smart Stadium. I remember thinking, i'm never drinking again, this was the coolest band in the world and i'd listen to them for the rest of my life.

Funny how things chang.... umm hang on.

i can't think of anything i still don't like now?
drugs sex & rock'n roll...
that basically covers 14-19 years.

i can admit to not watching nearly as much tv but i have two computers fer chrissakes.
and i still don't like doing dishes.

compared to when I was 14 . . . my hair is shorter, my sholders are bigger, I'm taller, I can grow a REAL beard, I have more money, I don't say "I didn't ask to be born" if I get into an argument with my parents, I get into an argument with my parents it's now called a 'discussion' mainly because they have lost the power to threaten me with anything, a weird thing is that all the little kids around me now aren't my friends siblings but my friends children, I'm not a desperate horny virgin, I don't cross my fingers when in a liqour shop . . . . other than that not much has changed . . .

i grew up in a small town, and used to spend hours upon hours down at the river, swimming and jumping off the railway bridge, while my friend's shitty Datsun stereo pumped out heaps of early early Beck, Nirvana, Cypress Hill, and the Beatles White Album. for a while i used to like U2, but now i can't stand them at all. songs like Exit from the Joshua Tree are still good though, but i run screaming in pain when i hear their new stuff. one of us had a video camera and we spent the winter months making zombie movies, or kung-fu movies, or zombie kung-fu movies.

When I was 14 I was a little, nerdy, was a girly swot at school,had braces and glasses and probably was a little greasy too. I like nothing better than reading my fantasy novels and playing on the old C64.

Nothing much changed there =D Except I am now in a band instead of an orchestra, don't have
braces, I'm a lot taller and dress a heak of a lot better. I've upgraded to a swish PC, started showering and my own library is now pretty extensive. I think the best bit is I now seem to be slightly attractive to boys and girls. Although now that I am married it don't really matter.

When I was fourteen I heard "siamese dream" for the first time on one of those weird school picnic things you have when the girls are getting hot, you want desperately to try sex drugs and rock'n'roll but you can't get over your fascination with transformers. That album blew my mind. Had been brought up on Alan Parsons Project til' then; I of course got totally obsessed as any alt. teen did with either 1) Smashing Pumpkins 2) Nirvana or 3) Pearl Jam and poured scorn on anyone who didn't like my preference of the three. Beavis and Butthead were cutting edge and cool. God I feel old. I can't wait till I hear the Killers on Classic Hits radio.

at 14, I was baggy and chain wearing, but to be honest though i like more rock and roll than punk now, my musical tastes are the same pretty much
differences between 14-18 and now
sex = with less people on a regular basis, and generally better
drugs = no drugs and smoking these days, and much better taste in alcohol
rock and roll = more of a CD collection, more discerning, in a decent band

i am 17. i AM cool/awesome/interesting/amusing.

when i was 15 i liked good charlotte. i really, really liked them . because i thought benji was hot.
i had a hideous haircut. really, truly hideous. old people loved it.
when i was 13, i wanted to braid my hair, and a 22 year old guy called arnold.
when i was 14, i wanted to kill myself. that lasted for almost 3 more years.
i went through a mild 'punk/goth' i still wear mainly black, because i LIKE it, and becasue i think it looks hot with black (dyed) hair, and pale skin. i dont over-do it tho.
