Being 17 Again

So… I’m part of the 17 Again blog train started by Kate where I’m supposed to answer the following as though I’m 17 again.

And I didn’t realize until I started answering the questions did I find out that I don’t have a photo of myself when I was 17 :? The earliest digital photograph I could dig out from my hard drive was when I was 18 so I guess that photo will have to do (I look the same then, anyway.)

And so, here’s taking you back to 2002:

My hair colour is… brown.
My hair style is… long hair tied in a pony tail with a bit of long fringe.
My favourite brand of makeup is… I don’t wear makeup.
My “fashionable” item is… not really into fashion.
My favourite outfit is… baggy tees and three-quarter pants with skateboarding shoes.
My favourite colour is… blue! :)
I drive a… I don’t have a license. Then again, I need to be at least 18 to attempt to get one.
On a Saturday I go… and meet my church friends.
On a Saturday night I go… to church, then to play pool/snooker.
On a Sunday I go… nowhere unless I’ve got plans.
Monday-Friday I go… to school.
My best friend(s) is/are… Darren.
My favourite place to go out is… town, I guess.
My favourite subject at school is… I don’t have a favourite subject at school.
When I grow up I want to be… I’m not quite sure just yet.
My favourite drink is… uh… Pepsi?
My favourite food is… ice cream, as always ;)
My favourite shop is… I don’t really shop much.
I want to marry… when I turn 19.
My favourite actor/actress is… I somehow like Claire Danes a lot but wouldn’t say she’s a favourite.
My favourite band is… uh, not a bad but I like Avril Lavigne :D
My favourite TV programme is… Roswell hands down!!! :)
The one thing I want to do but can’t is… ride a motorcycle.
My most used mode of transport is a… train.
If I had all the money in the world I would… buy a Nokia 7250, a digital camera, a laptop, hop on a plane to USA and take a road trip, making sure to buy a board and surf!
I wish I could visit… Hawaii.
My favourite sport is… basketball.
This fall I… fall doesn’t appear here.
At Halloween I dressed up as… Halloween isn’t celebrated here as well.
I recently saw… Lilo & Stitch and thought it was… awesome!
I am reading… Roswell series.
The big newspaper story this year is… uh, I don’t really read the papers :?
The most dangerous thing I’ve ever done… I don’t think I’ve done anything dangerous.
The furthest away from home I’ve ever been is… Malaysia, and that was four years ago, and I went with my family.
And I look like this…

After reading the above, you must probably think what a boring person I am! :( But this is only because I really can’t remember much when I was 17. I could go through my journal and read the entries again but it’s somewhere in some hidden corner of the room :lol: Hope you got to know me a bit better with my past questionnaire ;)

And now, taking you even further back into time to 1984, check out Laura‘s meme when she was 17 :)

Thanks for sharing.

Great post! Lovely to see what you were up to and not boring at all :)

No, never boring, it’s always interesting to read about different people’s lives. I had a lot of trouble remembering exactly what I was up to, it took a bit of working out.

Great list of answers Naddie, I also wanted to learn to ride a motobike. Still can’t do it though :)

Also seems like lots of us want to visit America too.

I had a hard time remembering, too, but once I started thinking really hard, I think I posted way *WAY* too much info! Cute post. You seem like you’d be everyone’s best friend, which is a wonderful thing! :)
