Take 'Jack and Diane.' I was so disgusted with people thinking the line 'Hold on to sixteen as long as you can' meant to stay a teenager forever. What I meant was keep doing whatever makes you feel alive.
My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.
Believe me, you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home.
I lived in Paris for six months when I was sixteen. It was a fend-for-yourself environment.
I have forty-six cookbooks. I have sixty-eight takeout menus from four restaurants. I have one hundred and sixteen soy sauce packets. I have three hundred and eighty-two dishes, bowls, cups, saucers, mugs and glasses. I eat over the sink. I have five sinks, two with a view.
