back then

it used to be that all the excitement and commotion, or big things of the time were about colors, and emo, and who was liking someone else, and being mad at your friends.
now its all the potheads in your school getting busted, including one of your friends who's pretty cool, if stupid sometimes.
now its shoplifting.
now its your boyfriend under the threat of going to court for something he didn't do.
now its you getting interrogated about something your boyfriend did do.

the other things are still there, and some of of them are still important, but now we are starting to be faced with things in real life. now we're being faced with the criminal justice system. oh well. someday there will be a lot more. and we will look back and say, we were freaked out? well, couldn't blame us, we didn't know anything yet.
