is this the same thing as "tight-rolling" because if so, I, unfortunately, was guilty of it.

To this day I don't know why we did that to jeans that already had skinny, tapered legs!!

I got in toruble for taking one of those big bitches apart in school. I wanted to know what was in it, so I hid it in my desk and took it apart at various moments throughout the day. I was quite disappointed with what was revealed: plastic.

Great Post!!
(shivers with the memory)

What was with us? Hair to the side, shirts knotted on the side, shirts falling off 1 shoulder. I'd like to burn all those old pics of me with my hair poofed & parted (on the side, of course) with my collar up & blue eyeshadow glaring at everyone.

Damn, I looked HOT!
