If I woke up at 14 again I'd laugh so hard,
....it'd be a Peggy Sue Go Married thing.
This time I'd be like Allen and smoke pot every chance I get and I would
....be nice to everyone, and probably eat more fruits.
I need a secret password with everyone close to me in case this does
....happen, or any other circumstance where I need to prove my identity, this
seems
........to be a common problem.
I may awaken as someone else or switch bodies or minds or faces or die and
....return to earth only to be shunned by those I once knew because they
refuse to
....believe I am who I am, I'd rather not have to hastily spew obscure facts
only I
....would know to prove myself i.e. "Maris, I swear it's me, remember that
Thanksgiving Mommy dropped the frozen turkey on your finger in the Acme?!"
........Passwords, everything would be secure if we all had secret passwords.
So if I do awaken at 14 I'll spend the years in spurts of spontaneity,
following my
....most base instincts, and even if this means tearing off my clothing and
lovin my
........ex-boyfriends leg like an animal in heat, I may give in to the
urge....
....................................................just to show him I care.
............and he would say "Dane, is that really you?"
................and I would reply "the password is James Brown."
