How I diverted myself as a teenager.

Masturbation. Burning things. Nirvana.

O sweet productive youth!

Anyone else?

I know we're all thinking 'MEME', oh yeah, baby, yeah!

Obsessing about the Doug Anthony Allstars/Paul McDermott. Stalking same. Dyeing all clothes and shoes an icky shade of green. Painting disturbing ink drawings on big bits of cardboard to shit my mother. Ratcat (early). Soundgarden (later).

Next?

Did they come in that order? I'd suggest that if you found yourself needing to burn things after masturbating then your technique was probably wrong. If, however, you'd burn things prior to masturbating... that's disturbing.

I assumed there was a clear causal relationship between those three things...

The X-Files, Dick Smith kits, You Am I

And yeah, css is colours.

As usual, Don & Tim, you think too much. Hardly a representative group and generally not related. I did do some other stuff too [and don't I have the reams of paper to prove it?] and quite a lot of it!

I actually stole the title from someone else - I just figured it was too funny to waste.

Mark, Dick Smith kits? *smirks*

My adolescence was spent studying and crying. Now I'm an adult I entertain myself the ways you've listed there.

Remove burning things and add making mix tapes and you've got Lucy the Teenage Years bang on.

Shelley said...

Boo, years spent shitting your mother are never wasted, are they? Sometimes that's the best I can manage in a given year. Oh well.

Phish, ah, if you'd started with the masturbation earlier you might have cried less. Your comment made me laugh so hard.

Lucy, I knew you were fucking awesome.

Dick Smith kits are kewl. Right? Aren't girls turned on by a guy who knows the resistor colour codes off by heart?

Shelley said...

Um... Can you fix my tv et al? I might not get turned on by it but I would bake for you.
