Ha! Well Beth, we can just keep the forum going as Cali girls. But that's a pretty amusing story about the car. But everyone sometimes has their bad driving day. My most recent one happened exiting an SC parking lot where I don't know why I didn't see the pedestrian but I felt so bad afterwards that I rolled down the window and yelled so he could hear, "Dude, I'm so sorry -- I brain farted and apparently I'm a driving do***!" The ped who was previously very pissed off with me was just so taken back to me apologizing that he started laughing. As long as no one gets hurt, its easier just to laugh it off right?
Re: amusement parks -- this may sound incredibly geeky...well, because it is -- but when I was old enough I was taught the physics of rollercoasters when I went on one trip. I like amusement parks solely for rollercoasters, anything else I find sort of boring. And...I hate giving the Mouse money (we have a couple friends who work for Disney so after learning how the inside works, I hate giving them money even more). I think there's some kind of Astro-camp near here because before you start your frosh year at Caltech, you go to "Frosh Camp" somewhere nearby. The year after me I think went to Astro-camp. My DH and my sister got to go to Catalina Island. I (totally not kidding) got to go to...Baptist camp. Or I should say, we were lodged at Baptist camp and then we did geeky things on their grounds. It was fun, but not exactly the science themed place most of us thought we were going to.
But yeah, my hubbie and I are a weird group...we do the opposite attract thing.
But don't encourage him too much! The music thing has always been funny. One time a friend was going through our CD collection and said, "well, I can tell which ones are hers and which ones are his" and he got it completley reversed. He was floored that DH owned the Spice Girls and that I owned the Metallica. That said, we have an awesomely varied ITunes Library.
Lori, I wouldn't know anything about hair color. My parents are from India so I have hair that's so black salons don't have anything dark enough to match me. I always wanted to try it but I think I would need too much bleach to make any differene though. But here's just another tidbit to realize how weird DH and I are. When I started dating my husband, he had long dark purple hair to his waist. Now he has his hair short, wears a tie on a weekly basis, and works in a huge corporate law office. That wasn't even 10 years ago!
Alrighty, off to cooling my apartment so I can do LIS!
