Adding to My List

November 20th, 2006 at 02:56 pm

Had a few things pop into my head to add to my list

* I drive a stick, it's what I learned on. The mileage is better, it's more fun, and truckers and buses full of high school boys all stare in wonderment when I zoom down the highway Big Grin  

* My boss is only a few years older than me, but is an ex-marine and a former Ultimate Fighter. Lotsa good stories.

* I had a mild form of scarlet fever when I was in fifth grade.

* I represented my state in the 1989 Nationa History Day competition in Washington DC. They mixed up my scores with someone elses, so I will never know how I would have placed.

* I really like plants but have never been a successful gardener. Depressing!

* When I get angry I feel it physically, not just emotionally; it's like a big pit of angry energy. Once my physical energy is spent, I no longer feel as angry. In the past I have dealt with this by focusing my physical anger on crunches and pushups: during my senior year in high school, I was up to over a thousand crunches a day. Now I am considering get an 80 lb body bag to hang in my back-yard.

    A former Ultimate Fighter? Wow, I'd LOVE to have a boss like that! Brings a new level of meaning to "on-the-job training".

    Haha, I love plants too, and yet can't seem to grow them. I would love to do that someday though.

    miclason: I've learned that ANY woman is someone you don't want to make them angry. Big Grin

    BA, i spent this morning at work listening to the boss on the phone talking about saturday's bought and how george st. pierre is all but unbeatable in any weight class right now. not sure who he was talking too... last time we went to a fight party at his house he was telling the story about going out drinking with tim silva. the gist of the story: don't go drinking with tim silva! Big Grin

    just to alleviate any confusion, the 80 lb. body bag is in fact a type of punching bag, not a means of storage! Big Grin

    Yes, it alleviates the confusion... but the fear is still there. Big Grin

    LOL, body bag is not a means of storage.

    I am seriously thinking of buying the bag on a post that you kick at for martial arts. Oh, yeah, its called a sparring target. I told DH it was for Rose (senior brown belt) and Tobias (orange belt) in tae kwon do to practice on, but somehow I think I would be kicking it a good deal myself. And feeling a lot better if I did.

    luckyrobin, i'm glad someone else here understands venting their frustration on an inanimate object: everyone else was making me feel like incredible hulk! Stick Out Tongue "you wouldn't like me when i'm angry!!!" Big Grin
