I was a total sqaure for most of my teens.
I was a geek / a jock / an alternative 80s freak / teacher's pet.
I basically was a social chameleon that could fit into any situation.
My parents were very cool. They were party animals actually lol!
When my sister and I had parties back in highschool it was great because all our friends all knew each other.
My dad collected vinyl (he had over 3000 albums) of classic rock / hard rock / blues / contemperary / pop etc etc.
All my friends loved my parents. 
They would sometimes join us later on (which was ok), but most of the time they gave us our space to be with our friends.
I love my parents! But I miss them too.
They live in Alberta (Edmonton), I live in Brampton (just north of Toronto)...so I only get to see them about once a year.
I guess I lucked out really. Oh sure there were times when I was upset with them (who isn't??) but overall...I wouldn't trade them for anything!
