Things I have done...(Part 2)

- Was sent to college in Walla Walla, Washington to get my "Mrs." Degree. My Grandma forgot to tell me and well it never happened. I definitely showed the religious kids how to party.
- Got stuck in a ditch while spinning donuts in the snow on a 6 lane highway. Also left the engine hanging by one bolt. I thought my Grandma's Toyota Corolla was a 4 wheel drive.
- When I was 21, I was supposed to move to Seattle but while visiting my family in Chico I lost my virginity and fell in love with a guitar player with a dream and moved to San Francisco. I followed that dream for 7 years.
- Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) asked me while signing an autograph if I give head. 10 minutes later I saw him leave with a tall blonde.
- Was voted best Receptionist in San Francisco by the Bike Messengers. Second best was anyone with candy.
- Once I recognized Peter Noone's voice when he called my work. He was frequently on KFRC the oldies station. Apparently he was a personal friend of one of the lawyers I worked with. He was overwhelmed and called me "Love."
- The first time I rode my bicycle to work on "Bike To Work Day" I was doored by a parked car and spent a month recovering.
- Someone asked me to take on a job booking bands for the Covered Wagon in San Francisco. I accepted and worked there for 3 years and met some really awesome people.
- I once took another job as a lap timer working for an SCCA racing team out of Sears Point. When our driver took first place I got to ride around the track for the Victory Lap waving the checkered flag going 120 mph around curves. I had no helmet, no seat and definitely no seat belt.
- Another time I was pushed down between the safety walls as a race car flew right over my head, rolled back onto the track and across the center then burst into flames. I love the phrase, "burst into flames."
- I met Sky Saxon in an underground basement club. To this day he is my friend and contacts me out of the blue. He once took me backstage at a Cramps show and we partied like rockstars!
- I've owned a 1964 Chevelle Malibu, a 1968 Barracuda, a 1990 Mazda 626 and now a 1995 Ford Explorer. I prefer the classics although I really like riding up high.
- I recently received my first traffic violation....but not for speeding....even though I drive like I just robbed a bank.
- I once stole a piece of candy at a Circle K and was caught. Humiliated I never went back and I never stole anything again.
- I have never been in jail.
- In 2001, Billy Human found me on classmates.com. He told me that every girl friend he ever had was told that if I ever came back into his life they would be dumped.
- In December 2004 two of my friends died. I hadn't seen them in 3 years. I made it my 2005 New Year's Resolution to get out more and see my friends. It was the first resolution I ever kept.
