Shane: (on his first kiss) I was ten the first time, and i thought it was a bit weird. When I was twelve, i tried again. It was a bit sloppy, and i didn't know what to do. I wasn't sure what she thought about me afterwards because she was more experienced than I was. But between thirteen and seventeen I put in a lot of practice! I had a new girlfriend every week!
