• All About Fugitive

  
  

  I've admired the ability of many to complete that list of 101 things all about you.  I've tried to make such a list about myself, but I stall out after about 12.  I thought I would have more luck if I tried making a list about someone who entertains me more.  

  
  

   101 Things Everyone on Xanga Should Know About Fugitive. 

  
  

  ((I'm providing a link to her site, but please don't go there until after you've read my list - I worked hard on this post and I want full credit.))

  
  

  1. She was born at 3:24 pm, just in time for the Bozo show.
  2. Her older sisters are named Terri and Kerrie.
  3. She was supposed to be Sherrie, but the drugs slurred Mom's speech so the nurse wrote Fugitive.
  4. When she started talking, she spoke in complete sentences.
  5. When she asked the doctor what he thought about troop withdrawal from Vietnam, he prescribed Valium. 
  6. She was three when this happened.
  7. She fell down a lot.
  8. When she was in first grade she took MY really cool beach towel to school for nap time.
  9. The school burned down.
  10. She sleeps with her eyes open.
  11. Her favorite toy was a Barbie with no hair.
  12. Her favorite outfit was a pair of overalls that she wore every day for three years.
  13. She first sang in public when she was 5.
  14. Mom loved to pull Fugitive's hair up into pigtails like Cindy Brady.
  15. Fugitive hated Cindy Brady.
  16. As soon as she was able to express an opinion, she asked to have her hair cut like a boy.
  17. No matter who started the joke, she always said the punchline.
  18. She's had the same best friend for over 20 years.
  19. She's married.
  20. For the first year she was married, her husband thought that she could make chicken like KFC and tacos just like Taco Bell.
  21. Her oldest son was born in Minnesota.
  22. She named him for our Grandfather.
  23. Her younger son was born in Mississippi.
  24. She named him after my best friend's son.
  25. She prefers New Orleans to Tupelo, Memphis to Little Rock. and Minneapolis to St. Paul.
  26. She reads Oprah's Bookclub books.
  27. She prefers True Crime.
  28. Over the years she has given me 2 cats, a cockatiel, a hamster and a poodle.
  29. She isn't a last minute shopper.
  30. She's the only person I trust to cut my hair.
  31. She sang professionally in a Country Music Show.
  32. She sang in church this morning.
  33. Her favorite drink is "sex on the beach"
  34. Her favorite foods are Italian.
  35. She and I used to meet for lunch at Olive Garden when she was pregnant.
  36. She has thrown up lunch from Olive Garden in a parking lot.
  37. We had to argue the security guard out of calling an ambulance.
  38. Fugitive's children were born by Ceasarian Section.
  39. To make up for having been cheated out of the labor/delivery experience, she asked to be my labor coach.
  40. Because of her front row seat in the birthing suite, she saw my son (or at least his head) almost an hour before I did.

  
  

  Okay, this is as far as I can get.  Once I'm down to telling labor and delivery stories from here it can only be saved from mushy chick stuff if I deliberately turn my attention to details that would embarrass her (such as her IQ being higher than mine) or details that would embarrass me (such as my IQ being below hers).

  
  

  See, coming up with 101 things is hard.
