DD's every-snarky answer....

Like Charlie Sheen, I think.

smirk 'Atta girl.

She clarifies... You know I'm joking, right? I don't think that I have the STAMINA to pound drugs and alcohol like that... and I think it would be off-putting for the kinds of friends I'd like to have...

Sounds familiar. My senior class received a short survey from the yearbook team, so our answers could be included with our yearbook pictures. One of the fields was for "Accomplishments." I'd won an award or three, had a significant role in the musical, etc., but I really didn't think that I wanted to be remembered as an obnoxious braggart by my classmates many years hence.

So... I have lived an empty life.

Months later, when yearbooks were sold, I received a lot of congratulations on this accomplishment.
