In 2000, I graduated high school (they made SUCH a huge deal about us being the Class of 2000, but it turned out to be just another year). Since then, I've:
-seen most of the movies I'd only heard of at that time
-developed an appreciation for jazz and certain pop songs
-attended (somewhat against my will) a college party full of underage drinkers
-cracked my car's bumper in a snowstorm
-made out with a somewhat overweight black girl
-had shrimp egg rolls become one of my favorite foods
-come to realize I'll always love video games after an 8 year hiatus
-performed onstage on two instruments at once
-intentionally tried to get a contact high from hanging around stoners
-all but fallen in love with a girl whom, on paper, I shouldn't feel the way I do about
-spent well over $2500 in musical gear and only held onto less than half of it
-nearly gotten a ticket for speeding in a construction zone
-been summoned for jury duty twice and the second time around I got out early because a fire started in the building
-had me and my family evicted from two places
-had my sister come out as a lesbian
If someone had told me I'd do most of those things (with the possible exception of the college party) 10 years ago, I'd think they were crazy.
