QotD: My First Boyfriend/Girlfriend
How old were you when you had your first "official" boyfriend or girlfriend? What was he/she like? I guess it would have to be Bryan Iverson when I was 13, the summer between 7th and 8th grade.

QotD: Happy President’s Day!
Ever run for office? (School, club, organization, politics, etc.) Did you get elected? I was on student council a number of years. This is strange given my absolute lack of school spirit.
