74. I laugh at the things I say in my head.

72. One of my high school students from North Carolina sent me a letter last week and it made me cry.
71. My favorite candle scent is watermelon...with strawberry lemonade running a close second.
70. Amaretto sour is my new favorite drink.
69. I like to experiment in the kitchen. Preferably with food.
68. Maggots are probably my biggest fear. Strangely enough, I love to read non-fiction about forensics...in spite of the maggots involved.
67. I have sensitive skin. And a soft heart.
66. I once kicked 15 people out of my house in high school because they got mud on my carpet.

53. I suck at checkers, but I kick ass at poker.
52. I play my own special brand of "extreme" billiards.

50. My nightstand is a graveyard for batteries, rubber bands, and wrinkle releaser spray.
I like the nickname "Poots" for you.
ReplyDeleteI addressed the CD package to Andi McBlogger.
The Monkees? Man, that's reason #37 about why I really like you. I am so jealous! I can trace the roots of my whole musical life to the Monkees! And I'm jealous--I've never gotten to see them (was it the 4 of them or just 3?).
ReplyDeleteOff-topic: can I call you Jester from now on?
Think of all those wool socks (and bullets) you've missed out on. Its so sad when you were so suited...
ReplyDeleteTodd,
ReplyDeleteMcBlogger....I like that. It has a snappy ring to it.
Os,
ReplyDeleteIt was just three...Mike had flown the coop by then. It was really fun, and I was six...and they were already old and crusty, but it was still fun.
You can call me Jester as soon as I get my check.
Fence,
ReplyDeleteIt's really a tragedy isn't it?? I'm so fond of wool socks.
i honestly don't know the mud on the carpet story, but it sounds hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWow the Monkees? I used to love them when I was little. I think my first concert was Tim McGraw. My last concert was 3 Doors Down, Nickleback and Puddle of Mudd.
ReplyDeleteI do #74 all the time.
#69, pray tell, what else have you experimented with in the kitchen besides food?
I am impressed by #64. I wrote a full 3 act play when I was 10 but my (bitch) teacher said it wasn't very good. She didn't like me though. She had issues.
I had braces twice, once for 3 years. Then about 3 years later, I had them for about 1 more year. I think I need them again.
I lurve Snoopy!
oh, also my favorite thing about army recruiters was the "free socks" routine. that cracks me up more than ANYTHING else they say, and lots of it is pretty ridiculous. "i have a full scholarship to a good university." "but we'll give you free socks!!!"
ReplyDelete#67 ... soft heart: very good trait; I'm a big softie myself although I'll deny it to the day I die
ReplyDelete#51 .. I wrestle with that almost daily
Ooh, I had such a Monkees obsession in high school. Saw them when I was 17, and as you said, they were Mike-less.
ReplyDeleteAndi, I created a poetry. blog (I sent you an e-mail) The address is poetrycrossing.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCatherine
we have some interesting things in common. BUT my first concert was JOHN DENVER.
ReplyDeleteMy first concert was the Cowsills. "Haaaaaiiiiiiirrrr!"
ReplyDeleteMy first concert was Night Ranger .... yeah, yeah, yeah .. go ahead and laugh ... I still do myself! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is "extreme" billlards? Seriously, if you can write down the rules I would totally try it out. I've got this image of BASEketbal in my head except with billards.
ReplyDeleteClack,
ReplyDeleteIt was when I was hanging out with Lindsey, Ashley, Kasey, Violet, blah blah. They all showed up at my house to "hang out" uninvited...along with Corey, Jared, Scott, etc. Got mud on my carpet, I got beyong pissed, they were fiddlin' around my room. Uggg! I kicked 'em all out.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who laughs at self.
I haven't experiemented with much in the kitchen besides food...although I've threatened to.
Which Monkee was your favorite?
Soj,
ReplyDeleteLoved 'em! And I thought I was the only one! lol
Clack,
The socks never actually happened to me. I stole that from your Lance story. It was too good to pass up.
Oh Cincy...#51. Drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine! I got it! Yay!
Corinna, Wooo! John Denver!!! Thank God I'm a country girl.
Ryan,
ReplyDelete"Extreme" billiards is Andi-speak for, "When my balls go flyin' across the room I pretend like it was on purpose and you better getcho ass out of the way!"
i KNEW it! i'm so proud that you remembered. see? some of my funny stories are worth the brain storage...
ReplyDeleteOh, CJ, your stories are sooo worth the brain storage. I have a big nostalgia story coming up (that involves Sharky) and it's really nice!
