7 More things....

to list 7 things about myself

1. I love romance.

This past Summer I saw a boy working the window at McDonald's. He had dark brown hair was very tan.
The boy leaned out the window and gave change to a girl he obviously knew.

He pressed a quarter into the palm of the girl's hand, and the way he did it, made my heart skip a beat.

It was like watching something private and intimate.

He held his thumb in her palm for what seemed a full minute. And then circled it on the quarter while holding the bottom of her hand in his.
I watched transfixed.. Just remembering what it had felt like to be touched that way.

2. I watch, Under the Tuscan Sun, once a month.

3.Sometimes, I throw spare change on parking lots for people to find. Quarters and dimes and nickels.

4. Vincent Price is one of my favorite actors.

5. I use to collect comic books. I had at one time over two thousand. I had House of Horror, Ripley's Believe It or Not, every Dracula edition. Superman, Spiderman, The Fantastic Four and many more.

6. When I was a kid I had a secret job of doing the neighbor's dishes for comic book money. I use to do 3 hours of washing dishes every Saturday to spend money on my comics. My Mom never even knew.

7. I was our disk jockey every single morning while we all got ready to go to school, and Mom got ready for work.
I had this old record player that would shock the crap out of anybody who touched it the wrong way. It played 45's, 33's, and 78's. I would ask everybody what they wanted to hear and then line up our music and play it while we were getting ready.
Mom had great taste in music. She allowed us to listen to anything we wanted to. I have a wide interest in all music because of Mom. She use to love, Me and Bobbie McGee by Janis Joplin. And one song that she always listened to when she was sad was, Help Me Make It Through the Night by Sammie Smith.
I could tell each person's mood that morning by the music they would pick.
I remember my favorite part of the mornings would be watching Mom put on her eye liner. She had a gift putting on her make up. She just made it look fascinating.

Today's songs, Help Me Make It Through The Night by Sammi Smith. And my personal favorite from that time and place, This Is For All The Lonely People by America. And Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys my little sister's favorite. That song irritated the @!# out of me but she loved it. (I like it now) But I played it for her every morning.
