10. I was waiting for my order at a restaurant the other day.

A group of young 18 year old or so kids were waiting also. They had all the usual dyed hair, funky clothes and attitude. I guess I was staring to much cause one asked if I was bothered by how they looked. Kind of a cocky kid. Liked him immediately. I laughed and told him I had been to 30 Dead shows, so no, I was just remembering my young days and how much fun it was. I was their hero from then on.
