Thanks to the UAF for pointing me your way! Now my Monday holiday is shot. lol In a good way though!

This line got me as well:
"I am a perfectly normal 17-year old high school student: I have never touched drugs or alcohol"

At 17, I was as well! At 23 - 24 years of age, I moved to San Francisco, and spent 9 months there doing almost every drug there was at the time. (No needles, but LOTS of stuff up the nose) I was addicted mostly to cocaine and speed. I had to have it every day to function. I lost 30 pounds or so. I was normal weight in the first place.

I know at this point in the story you are expecting me to say I found jeebus or something. :-) But alas, I did not. I just decided one day that I needed to get the hell out of dodge. And I did. And now, 14 years later, I am a happy, drug free Agnostic. Never had g-d. And probably never will. Science fascinates me too much! :-)
