Growing up the only social life I had was school. There was no going out with friends at all. No parties. No nothing.

Just the Monday through Friday 8am-2:30pm environment that was school.

But my senior year came, and I was allowed to spend the night with my best friend once a month. My dad would drop me off at 7 p.m. and pick me up at 7 a.m. I was such a dork that I never slept when I had that night of teenage normalcy due to the excitement of it being a thing. Plus, I didn’t want to sleep my one night of awesomeness away too quickly.

I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere per my dad’s wishes, something that went right out the window the minute he dropped me off. A group of us would often go out and do the traditional Friday night thing in our small town…cruise the strip and end up in the Walmart parking lot. Yeah. It was that small of a town.

But on our way to pick up the rest of the girls, my best friend and I would sing this song as loud as we could with the windows rolled down in her Pontiac Sunfire. Just a couple of white girls with bad hair and glasses, singing about being a “Freak Like Me” 🙄😂

What a song though 👏 Such a classic and it still sounds brilliant.

I had an excessive social life in school as part of a big group of friends. I was out all the time, often not coming home for days at a time. I couldn't stand being home at night. What this whole experience did for me was to set me on the path of solitude as I realised that with friends come expectations and drama. I don't look back fondly on those times. If anything I prefer not to remember them

@ostfuidctyvm I’m so sorry to hear that. I understand how it set you on that path. Given how sheltered I was, I was sent on the opposite path. I can’t get enough social interaction after that chapter I had.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart The good thing in both cases is that it brought us here where we can be weird together 👀🥰

My high school sweetheart, who turned out to be my first wife and the mother of my kids, had a Pontiac Sunfire when we were in school. A lot of fun times in that car!

@SleepingWithGhosts Odd question but what color was it? My friend’s was black and I thought it was nifty as all get out.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Cherry red! And it was fast as hell too!

I had the same experience. A little latitude when I graduated.
My sister used to love this song
Lol it was her jam.

I lived on top of a hill where there was no one but family for a while until I was sent to live with my birth mother for a while and had no friends other than my siblings so I never went to sleepovers or anything until later. I never had any real friends until maybe highschool but it was a lil better then. I always wished I could go do cool stuff like other kids but I was a foster by then so I had to wait. I did all my wild shit by myself lol.

I remember seeing this on "The Box" on Channel 20. You could call in and request a video. I wish I was a teen in the 90s!! I was so jealous of my sister. By the time I was her age, block parties were non existent😒 and the times were just different.

Funny, I lived in a not so small County in the burbs outside Atlanta and we did the extra same thing, cruised the K Mart and adjacent movie theatre parking lot and would hang out. But mostly listened to Cheap Trick or the current trending music [media=https://youtu.be/lYOSdI_91WM]

I'm surprised he doesn't censor your SW content TBH
Im glad you had those friends to break up the mundane of school life.


I never went out and did anything with anyone during school years. More by choice i believe. I was the hide in the corner looking down at ground girl. Never talking unless the teacher called me by name. Wish i could go back and change all that

@Bexsy My gosh, I was the same way. And being called up to read in front of the class. Paralyzing. I remember my hands shaking so badly. Crazy how we were built back then.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart yesss! i would choke up on my words. School was torture 😫
