great response. i see what you're getting at from this and other peoples' replies - that the most important thing you learned was that doing hoodrat stuff with your friends is awesome. The only reason i posted this was because it read to me like this was the only thing you learned rather than the most important thing.

i really like what you've written here though, makes it a lot more clear. have you considered adding some pieces of this comment to the article?
