[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16153466, member: 21786"] These two are pretty good because they are probably my two biggest **** ups in life lol. Long post, I know, but I cant help but tell long stories. -Got kicked out of high school my junior year for partying. Went to a private school and was a typical teen that partied like everyone else.
