I am NOT watching Battlestar Galactica and American Chopper at the same time

Nope. Not gonna.

Jim's having a blast. "I hate commercials!"

So, he's flipping between the channels. He can. Be my guest.

Me, I'm going to be a meme sheep.

Graduated from high school in 1978.

What were your three favourite bands or musical artists? Barry Manilow, Stan Kenton and Styx.

What was your favourite outfit? Handkerchief-hem full skirt with a angel-wing blouse. Chances are, I'd be wearing a blouse with a pussycat collar. Go Google it up. I'll wait. (I'd love to see some of that stuff come back into style - the tunic tops and flare leg pants still look great, and they're comfortable in the bargain. The prints can stay in the vault, though. Ew.)

What was up with your hair? Shoulder-length, feathered if I had luck that day. Straight as a stick and looking like John Denver if I didn't.

Who were your best friends? Didn't have any.

Where did you work? Hemet Fast Print, Jack in the Box, Boll Weevil, Hemet Valley Hospital

What did you do after school? Went home, shut the door and wrote really awfully fun fan fiction.

Did you take the bus? Nope.

Who did you have a crush on? Two lovely blond burritos of manhood who have since come out of their respective closets. Yup. Gay. Both of 'em.

Did you fight with your parents? We did the dance of passive-aggression. Fighting is what Sis did.

Who did you have a celebrity crush on? Richard Chamberlain. And I might add I was the teenage Trekkie from hell - and this is LONG before Next Generation was in anyone's mind. Before any of the movies. LONG before.

Did you smoke cigarettes? ACHOO! No.

Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack because you were too nervous to find your locker? Would have killed for a backpack. I did carry a shitload of books around in my purse.

Did you have a 'clique'? No. Unless you count mine, which was a clique of one.

Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater? No, but I had Starsky & Hutch, does that count?

Admit it, were you popular? Not in the least, and I was glad of it. The popular people were STOOPID.

Who did you want to be just like? I wish I could have played the string instruments my friend Ron Hoffman did - but I never got a chance to even touch one.

What did you want to be when you grew up? An airline pilot and travel all over the world. Stewardess? No.

Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now? Just hitting my stride, and I'd have to say that's just about right.

*snicker* Battlestar Galactica and American Chopper at the same time?!

I wouldn't do that either....

Then again, I don't watch American chopper and Battlestar Galactica is still trying to grow on me. I loved the original... 8shrug*

Be honest...new vs old Battlestar? I kinda miss the old one :(

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

The new one is so good, and so different, it just doesn't seem right to have the old "framing" with all the associations that go with it.

Battlestar Bonanza is cheesey old Glen Larson at his best - Lorne Greene and all.

The new show reminds me too much of Blade Runner -

Battlestar Bonanza.

*runs*

I was thinking the same thing too, with the Cylons behaving the way they do.

Wha'dya want? I was *5* when the original series came out. *g*

I wanted to be Sheeba... and I wished Adama was MY grandfather...

The one hanging around (off of?) Baltar... annoys the hell out of me... largely because sex seems to be ALL she's interested in...

[ecstaticlght.livejournal.com]

ME TOO!

You're awesome, Donna.

There had to be someone else out here who had heard of Stan Kenton. He used to come to my high school every year and do a Jazz clinic and concert. We used to play all of his music.

meme away...

Graduated from high school in 1966.

What were your three favourite bands or musical artists? Beatles, Beach Boys, Dick Dale

What was your favourite outfit? Levis and a white T-shirt for casual, Madras shirt, and slacks. Later on, became tie-dye shirts and levis.

What was up with your hair? Short, well groomed, then as the sixties progressed, shoulder length and wavy. Entering the military in 1968, saw it all fall to the floor under the clippers of an Air Force barber.

Who were your best friends? Bob McClurg, one of the first people I met in California, we occasionally get together even today.

Where did you work? An Italian Restaurant, a driving range (golf), Jack-in-the-Box, as a library aide.

What did you do after school? Got in my '57 Bel-Air and cruised around with friends (remember, gas was 26 cents a gallon).

Did you take the bus? Nope.

Who did you have a crush on? Nancy Kurtz. I was a fool to let a silly arguement lead to our breakup. I've since got back in touch and we've sent emails back and forth. She's happily married and living in NorCal.

Did you fight with your parents? Never.

Who did you have a celebrity crush on? I'd have to say it was Annette Funicello of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Did you smoke cigarettes? No.

Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack because you were too nervous to find your locker? We were the days when lockers were where you kept the books. Anyone carrying too many books had to be a nerd.

Did you have a 'clique'? Yes, sort of. If you had a nice car, you hung out at the A&W.

Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater? No.

Admit it, were you popular? No. I wasn't with the jocks, and I didn't run with the rich kids.

Who did you want to be just like? Can't remember anyone in my high school I would have wanted to be like.

What did you want to be when you grew up? A Civil Engineer.

Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now? Well into my career, married, children, living in Orange County. Didn't happen that way.

Who didn't? I met someone on the QL set who had worked the BG set at Universal, and said much the same thing of Lorne Greene. They loved him, and it was well deserved.

If you have anyone who goes and hunts down old vinyl records, tell them to keep an eye out for anything from Leisure World (I think that's actually the record label) records - that's Stan Kenton's old label, and he had all of the masters and the company destroyed as part of his will.

No more records, no more Stan. Period. He was one of the best, but he was a quirky SOB, nonetheless.

[sidelobe.livejournal.com]

Oh, my goodness! I had no idea. I had only one or two records, both of which were "disposed of" by my ex. I'll have to keep my eyes open. Thanks for the heads-up.

I am so sick of watching Bob from Enzyte, what do you want?!?

*Pthhhhh* :)

Those commercials annoy me to no end...

But there are some decent commercials out there... that just doesn'thappen to be one of them... =)
