I failed miserably. But actually I bought my way into being cool. I had a crush on a girl who was in a slave sale with two girl friends (when you could have school slave sales to raise money). I figured what the hell, I had a job in HS so I had money in my pocket. I think I spent $30 or so.
So I spent a day hanging out with these three girls that are in the in crowd. Within a few days I hear people talking about me like I'm this new cool student
. These are the same people I'd gone to school with for years. Kind of funny.
Flash foward 15 years: I talked to the one girl I had the crush on, she said she tried to find me in Austin when I was in college because she'd felt guilty for never sleeping with me. Too late now
I talked to one of the other girls that I did sleep with when I saw her walking into a restaurant. She didn't remember me
Oh well, it was fun back then.
