Nissan Pulsar - My first car. I actually didn't drive in high school and didn't get my license til 19. A guy I met at junior college, Jason, actually taught me how to drive - he part-timed as a driving instructor. When I took driver's ed back in high school, I was too nervous. But Jason was really patient, and it turned out to a snap. Well not a snap but not impossible. The midnight blue Pulsar was used when I bought it for a couple of thousand bucks. It was eventually succeeded by my Honda Civic hatchback which I still have to this date.
Michelle Pfeiffer - It was Jonathan Demme's Married To The Mob where I first became infatuated. She was the widowed mafia wife who just wanted to start over but when you look like Michelle Pfeiffer people just won't leave you alone. Soon enough after that, Michelle Pfeiffer became Catwoman and then she has a get-out-of-jail-free card with me for good - not even crap like Dark Shadow will diminish her place in my cinematic heart.
You-Know-Who - It was a stormy day and I ducked into Batmale Hall all drenched. We were waiting to be let in to the classroom. Small talk ensued about the unfortunate weather, and we became fast friends. It was a good run. And how it ended still stings me every single day.
Ugly scar on left knee - Surgery in 2003 to repair ACL. Worst mistake I made in my life. Well, maybe not worst cuz I had some doozies, but it will probably rank in the top five. I'll make a list soon. I mean, what was I thinking? Why would I even need my ACL repaired - it wasn't as if I were going to go skiing or something? Maybe I thought I could go skiing. But I should have done more research and considered everything. But then again, regretting is not why God makes you make mistakes. Learning is. So everytime I stare down at that ugly scar or kneel on it in pain, I feel the lesson washing over me like an icy cold bath.
