Feelin' Freaky Friday

I think I'm going to start a Friday tradition of revealing too much information and or quirky facts about myself. Lists are such nice formats so I think I'll delve in that way.

10. The first time I tried Uni(the creamy scrotal innards of the sea urchin) I feigned delight to my snarky college pals. After a night of heavy drinking, that pink creamy puddin' wound up in my friend's kitchen sink. I never ate it again.

9. I started the woods on fire when I was five or six years old. Tipped over a candle in the neighborhood fort and scattered when we realized we couldn't stop the flames.

8. Had a big time crush on Steve Martin. When I was in 4th or 5th grade I had a baseball jersey(white w/ royal blue sleeves) with him in the classic white suit (fish peeping out) printed up at "The Jock Shop."

7. When I went away to college, I wound up drunk in a high school classmates dorm room. He was not there, but his Japanese roomate who was sleeping (and woke upon hearing "water running") was and kicked me out for squatting down and peeing right there on the floor.

6. I smoked pot in front of my mother in a motel(yes, a motel, not a hotel) on a road trip through northern Montana.

5. Let a 15 year old drive my dad's Cadillac when I had just gotten my license. His friend opened the door when we were in reverse and hit a parked car, causing the front passenger door to be strangely and permanently ajar.

4. Had sex on a desk in the office. And on the floor and on the couch(I really DID used to have sex, I have to keep reminding myself).

3. Met an undercover DEA agent and massively mashed with him. He showed me his gun.

2. Stayed up until 5am drinking with a rotund Turkish hotel owner and a bunch of Russians in Istanbul. Only the Turk and I spoke english.

1. Walked with my friend Mario down Langdon Street in only our skivvies.

Those were the days.

I think I mentioned my obsession with SM somewhere in the annals of MsMamma, lo siento. Any thoughts on the header? The man in the moon? Bueller? Anyone?

And that gray hair, tres sexe!!! Oh, question about the pot in front of your mom, did she know? Did she smoke some too? How old were you? Reason for asking, my mom would have still would, kick my ass all the way back to Minnesota for pulling that in front of her. Foot up the ass when we returned home.

Christine- I was 30 years old at the time. We were on a death trip to see her cancer riddled brother in Portland and we met a couple of cowboys(yeah, the real kind) in a bar and they gave me a pinch o' green. I've always been honest with my parents and I was 'on vacation'. Yes, it was right in front of her as I fired up the Coke can and sat on the window ledge. She was apalled. I told her she was just way too uptight. Neither one of them has ever tried drugs. Not my proudest memory, but I'm not ashamed of it either. Thanks for asking ;)


LL- I wouldn't go that far, maybe in the realm of Ed Wood or something. :)

Lynn- That he did and was pissed that I just wouldn't screw him.

Jimmy- Funny. And very funny!
