1. Sorry Akane seems so innocent... I, uh, just kind of wrote
how I felt at 16. I mean, I knew the basic IDEA, but when I
first saw one at 17... I was, ahem, SHOCKED. Had no idea 
that they um went straight up like that ... or most of
the other stuff I wrote about... because, well, we
say a few picts (line drawings) in Biology... but you remember
how TINY they looked in the pictures? So when I actually
SAW one.... whelp... I was pretty shocked.
       Why hadn't I seen one until then? Well, I was a Mormon,

if you were a mormon, what happened at age 17?

signed, phoneynt

LOL. Well.. if you all want to hear my Mormon story... here goes
(short).

1. My parents aren't religious, so they sent me to church with
my cousins so that "I could have some sort of background and
choose myself what I wanted."

        my cousins were mormons :)

2. I liked being a mormon, lots of fun activities, nice people,
but..... I just really wasn't into God and all that stuff. 
Also I hated the way they always told me my skirts were too short
at the dances (you have to wear skirts past your knees... mine
were maybe 1-2 inches above max). ^_^

        SOOOO... I quit. Around age 17 I think.

3. At age 17 (actually 3 days from being 18) I messed around a LOT
with my boyfriend for the first time.
        December 24, 1991 (Been 18 for 4 days by that point), I
        actually DID it. (And it was even LEGAL!! Yay for me)

Gee... now you know the who gory story. Hope you don't think any
less of me.
