That was the worst opening ever, but I'm going to keep it so you understand what my mindset is going in to this week's edition of Throwback Thursday! A bit of background for you all; at the tender and innocent age of 16, my friend and I had a notebook we would write to each other in and pass back and forth in between classes (or, as several pages would indicate, while we were sitting next to each other in band meetings). These notes are hilarious and oh-so awkward, but I will openly admit that the friend in question is much more amusing than I am. Downside, I don't want to post anything that she wrote/drew without her knowledge or consent, so you just have to believe me when I say she was (and still is) one of the funniest people in the entire world.

We both had crushes on boys in marching band who were a year younger, which might be why my mom once called me a cougar....
With that knowledge in hand, and the timeframe of "I was 16 when i wrote this," I present to you my...
