Fisheries Biology,
I'd like to meet:
I just read this and wondered, "Why the hell would anyone post this crap?" Oh well...its been here for a long time...here goes...My uncle Nolan. He died in a plane crash in 1960 (he was flying). He was a drunk and was into doing some shady shit with some shady people, but people say he always had a lot of fun. And I'd like to meet Al Franken, but only if we could hang for a whole day and have time to really get into some good conversations about stuff. We'd both be preachin' to the choir, but we'd both laugh a lot. Oh, and I've like to meet George Clooney. I was on the verge of stalking him for a while. Kinda freakish really. I was sure he'd really, REALLY like me if only we could just meet...I never tire of looking at him...Ya know, on second thought, I don't wanna find out what he's really like. My personal fantasy is perfect as is. And I'd like to meet whoever came up with that commercial back during the 2000 Superbowl with the old-guy hillbillies wearing flannels sitting in lawn chairs in some garage with a boom-box watching the chimpanzee in an E*TRADE T-shirt dancing on top of a trash can. That went on for about 20 seconds, and then the screen flashed to, "WE JUST WASTED $2 MILLION, DIDN'T WE?" Ok well, if you've read this far, I'd also like to meet a guy that thinks its cool rather than, "AMAZING!!" that I work on my own truck. That gets old. REALLY old. I mean, c'mon. I'm from Oklahoma. I come from pioneer women. Ya had to be able to rustle up some grub, cook it, make fire, weave a blanket, and shoot well enough to fight off an ambush. Otherwise, ya didn't live long enough to have any babies. There are many women like me. You just might not find them in most major metropolitan areas clad in 7 jeans and teetering on Charles David heels. Although some of those girls have it in them too, they just never had the chance. And don't get me wrong. I look great in Betsey Johnson. I have a MAC habit. I have a latte a day. It'd just be great if there were a man in the world that was man enough to hand me a wrench when I'm under the truck instead of having a meltdown. If he also knew how to salsa...wow, now THAT would be neat.
