Useless Facts, v1.0


Did you know:
Sammy Hagar is the same age as my mother.
I dreamed of being a bush pilot when I got out of the Air Force.
I wanted to join the Air Force.
I wanted to be a helicopter pilot for the forestry service.
I wanted to take flying lessons.

A boyfriend once broke up with me because he thought that I would get fat when I got older and he would always be skinny.

Another boyfriend couldn't get a new truck after he had a bad wreck because he had a rent-to-own stereo and didn't make the payments. I paid that debt off. Then I made him give all that money back to me when I told him, 'Hey hit the highway!' Some day there will be a whole post on that adventure.

I'm thinking of giving all my scrapbook stuff away and quitting scrapbooking. Not really, I like buying the stuff.

iWof was going to buy me a new pair of boots the other night because I was in such a funk. And I wouldn't let him buy the boots because I was in such a funk. (They are Fat Babies and I really want them.) Later, I asked if all I had to do when I wanted something was be in a funk and he would buy it. He said, 'No, I would always be buying you something because you are always in a funk'. (There goes the Camaro and speed skates.) I always wanted a pair of speed skates. I always wanted a Camaro. Badly. I always spell Camaro wrong the first time. My cousin got a Camaro. And she drives like a Granny.

Another boyfriend (RC) tried to ditch school when I was dating him. He ran out of gas in the school driveway. In his classic Camaro. He dumped me because I wouldn't sleep with him. I was only dating him because he had a Camaro. (Do they still call it ditching?)

I really had a thing for bad boys especially if they had long blond hair. Ironically, iWof is balding.

Speaking of bad boys with long blond hair, I never would have taken off for St. Louis if I had known DC had a thing for me. Ironically, if I had stayed home, it would have been better for me in the long run. Why? I had a full ride scholarship that I blew off. For the life of me I don't know why.

All of my really bad life altering decisions have been because of men. And not the guys that really curled my toes. <You know, the bad boys with long blond hair.> Just the ones that happened to be around when I got bored. Ironically, I am listening to Sammy Hagar...'The Girl Gets Around'.

My mother always threatened to take me to WSOS when I was being a pill. She should have followed through on that threat. It was always sobering. Literally, at times. Now she tells me they didn't take in kids. Should I be worried that she knows that because she checked?

Oh and one more thing, I heard that Sammy Hagar is a republican. Secretly.
