I was 30 and single. I went to a bar and got picked up by a guy who was almost 21 and so darned cute! He was from out of town, involved in some kind of sales scam that he was very frank about. And he was so darned cute! Before we rendezvous-ed, I wrote down everything I knew about the guy and send it to my girlfriend, “in case I die, here is what I know about this guy”. But I wasn’t really afraid.

His hotel room had a hot tub. We had a fling I will never forget. A couple weeks later I decided to take an hiv test, although he did use a condom at least one of the times. It was negative, and I don’t know what came over me, but what an ego boost to get picked up by an extremely cute guy who was 10 years younger.

JEN, LOL. Yeah, I have to agree. Time for vacation. My friend offered me a timeshare in Mexico that she can’t use but GUESS who doesn’t have their passport!!! I’m going to make that a priority just in case it ever happens again….. Oh, wait, you didn’t mean me?

Karin, I know what you mean about still waters. I have a formerly crazy friend who has five kids now, and is the total soccer mom. She’d die if I ever told her kids about the time she got pulled over for DUI driving home from SLC, and managed to convince herself that if she could JUST reach her keys, on the front seat of the cop car, she could somehow escape. She DID get the keys, and she also got halfway to the car before she was tackled by the cop and resisting arrest and assault charges were filed against her. No one would believe it today……

B.E., I like the funny accents one! My problem is I can never hold the accent for long enough.

Natalie, when you start convincing your friends that your fantasy motor home is real enough to as to borrow it, I think it’s time for a vacation!

It’s not so much that I do crazy stuff, but I attract crazy people. Like the woman in front of me in line at Target last week. She was throwing boxes of Klenex around. Just taking them out of her basket and throwing them around. I don’t know, maybe she was aiming for the checkout counter, but her aim was WAY off. THEN she wanted to have a conversation with me, but I don’t speak Crazy…

Well, I am a fuddy duddy. Even as a teenager I never did anything remotely crazy. I really am boring. But my eldest son has more than made up for my lack of craziness. Some of the things that boy and his friends did in high school are what movies are made of. OMG! Hilarious. He gets it from both grandfathers who if you knew them as they are now you would never suspect. Those still waters run very deep in my family.

Speed ticket at 5-, I love it, I know you meant 50 but why are my typos never humorous?

I’ve never been tempted to do something weird, I got my weirdness out of me in high school I think. Now I’m scared, don’t crazy people say they’re not crazy..when really they are? Maybe weird people don’t realize they are really, bat guano weird.

Arrested is another story, I came really close to getting arrested…. or in the morgue, when I was in high school. Apparently it’s against the law to skate board down Foothill Blvd behind a car. Who knew?

I think it would take too long to list all the things I’ve done that other people would think were crazy. Nothing psycho. Just a little loopy. For instance, I only spent a total of 8 days in close proximity to my husband before I married him – after a whopping 4 months of online courtship. Sounds crazy, but after 4.5 years of marriage, I’m proclaiming it perfectly rational. =o) Then there are the little things: like singing while I shop or walking through Walmart talking in funny accents or stopping to pick up shiny rocks (I have an excuse for that last one – we’re doing Geology for science this term).

Life’s too short not to be a little crazy. And as long as no one gets hurt, it’s not a problem. Going after someone with a sword – that’s pushing it. Taking a road trip in a Winnebago to write in national parks sounds like a blast.
