Me, too!" While I don't listen to NKOTB (anymore) I have been known to bump a little N'Sync and most certainly Justin Timberlake. (love him, though not enough to wear a t-shirt that says "Mrs. Timberlake") And Metallica is one of my all.time.FAVORITES! The Black album makes me top 20 favorite albums of all-time and Master of Puppets is on the top 50... along with J.T. I am, however, a superb driver. *polishing my nails with my hot breath* If I do say so myself. <br /><br />I'm so glad you're back.My name is Erin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11804807199446678942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-83892816399992331942009-07-19T13:27:37.514-05:002009-07-19T13:27:37.514-05:00great entry!
My whole family still gets teary-eye...great entry!<br /><br />My whole family still gets teary-eyed when we think of our departure from Mexico... and that was 15 years ago! But then we lived there almost 9 years so... It got to the point where I felt more Mexican than anything else (and I have 2 nationalities!). When I started college in Spain I was a total "chilanga"! People didn't know what to peg me as! Here I was with my gringa physique (pale redhead), Spanish passport and yet they couldn't understand half the lingo coming out of my mouth! hilarious!<br /><br />And your tale of driving stick on the "other" side of the car? I was soooo freaked out when I rented a car in Australia and they had given me a stick instead of an automatic... I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it! No problemo! Only thing is, I was concentrating so hard on shifting gears that a couple of times I turned into the wrong lane of the street! oops! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-42998958595732081242009-07-18T22:05:30.798-05:002009-07-18T22:05:30.798-05:00Lol very nice post :) Ur hilarious :) I enjoyed th...Lol very nice post :) Ur hilarious :) I enjoyed the reading ;PTyson Trepidationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859915056823942816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-55342235691243058272009-07-18T17:52:45.082-05:002009-07-18T17:52:45.082-05:00hi!

Sandman probably would have made the playlist anyway since that is on my "Get Up and Clean" list (it never fails to get you going), but mixed with all of those pretty boys?
