My Random Randomness Meme, part 2
1. What was your first alcoholic drink?

2. What was your first job?
A. Babysitting. Taking care of the farm when my parents weren't home. And then I worked as a file clerk, all before I was 16.
3. What was your first car?
A. A Datsun. A wagon that was some kind of awful burnt orange color. I had me some interesting misadventures in that car, yes I did.

11. What's your strongest sense?

A. Do Not Cross.
17. Have you ever got sweet revenge on anyone?

A. Yes. I've seen Loretta Lynn, Neil Diamond, Styz, Linda Rondstadt, Elton John, Conway Twitty, The Commodores, Juice Newton, Mannheim Steamroller, and probably a few others that I can't remember in concert. When I was a teenager, Lakeside Amusement Park (which no longer exists) used to have a summer concert series and they brought in a lot of big names or up-and-coming names. Me and my Datsun went to many of those concerts once I was old enough to drive.

A. Yes. I've seen Bill Cosby and Jeff Dunham.
20. Have you ever needed stitches?
A. Not for a deep cut, but I have needed them for surgery. I've got lines all over me.
I remember those old Datsuns! I can totally picture them in my head. Blast from the past. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMannheim Steamroller--I used to LOVE them! Haven't listened to them in years. . . I need to go check out iTunes!
ReplyDeleteLots of good concerts under your belt! I would have enjoyed most of those. Visiting from Sunday Stealing.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to see Jeff Dunham live!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Jeff Dunham in person. I love all his shows.
ReplyDeleteDatsun was my second car. It was the cheapest thing on the lot and had no a/c. My husband had 2 Datsuns. They were great cars
ReplyDeleteMy second car was a Datsun. My first was a 1949 Chevy pickup. I named it Fluffy. I wish Someone could save stupid people from themselves, but I don't think it is possible.
ReplyDeleteChitty Chitty Bang Bang is the first film I remember seeing at the theater, too.
ReplyDeleteLove your warning label...:)
ReplyDeleteI love Mannheim Steamroller!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at number seven. Sadly, I think it would take an entire squadron of Intelligence Women to accomplish that job. The only concert we have in common is Elton John--have seen him three times on tour with Billy Joel.
