It's cool now...like big bows were cool on the heads of the valley girls in the 80s. You don't see many bowheads anymore.Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376712079333013052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-42219917360058476612008-12-05T01:14:00.000-07:002008-12-05T01:14:00.000-07:00My theory: These kids came from affluence -- coll...My theory: <BR/><BR/>These kids came from affluence -- collared shirts, European sports sedans, 3-car garages, granite countertops on a cul de sac. I.e. The American Dream -- as given to them by hard-working, well-meaning, climb-the-company-ladder-at-the-expense-of-the-family parents. <BR/><BR/>"Homelessness" is their rebellion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-15405423912103591232008-12-04T16:59:00.000-07:002008-12-04T16:59:00.000-07:00Yes it all sounds very familiar.

That's got to be HOT, but they wear them anyway - just to maintain their "I sleep under a bridge" look. LOL It's kind of like visiting another world, huh? ;)Freak Magnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630441982638018243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-80297150669910999142008-12-04T14:32:00.000-07:002008-12-04T14:32:00.000-07:00I think many colleges are like that.

Plus, college kids have to do (and pay for) their own laundry, and if I recall correctly, it does not get done very often!brandy101https://www.blogger.com/profile/17279874906424110849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-45330160566889554842008-12-04T13:10:00.000-07:002008-12-04T13:10:00.000-07:00Move that about two to three states over to the Ea...Move that about two to three states over to the East and a bit south, and you'd have my alma mater!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-85422682426662886642008-12-04T10:09:00.000-07:002008-12-04T10:09:00.000-07:00I lived under a bridge once.
