Zitat des Tages über Teenager / Teenage:

To be straight, I was kind of a dork, and in order to fulfill the creative fires burning inside me, I participated vigorously as a Civil War re-enactor through most of my teenage years, traveling across the country to participate in large scale reenactments - grandiose plays enacted by over weight history buffs and war enthusiasts alike.
The Gulf War was like teenage sex. We got in too soon and out too soon.
