(sniff)... I can remember last being with her, I didn't even say good bye.&amp;nbsp; The last thing I remember was runing away from her in the rain... (sniff- sob- ).&amp;nbsp; And than she was gone...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Forever-&lt;FONT size=2&gt;ever-&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;ever.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Oh Betsy Blue... where has the time gone we were only together for a few short months, but we made the best of them.&amp;nbsp; I know in the morning you could get grumpy, and when it's below freezing I understood the loud and pitiful squealing sounds you made... But at least than you made noises, for me- for you- for us...........&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bye-bye Betsy (Baby) Blue Buick.&amp;nbsp; You weren't one of those ditsy cars,&amp;nbsp;you weren't beautiful, but you were mine.&amp;nbsp; You were my audiance for my opera shows, you were my companion for my moods, and you were wonderful.......... because you were mine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyway my Buick was totaled on the way home from school. Going&amp;nbsp;about 25 mph before I started to slide off the road.&amp;nbsp; The road was icy, nobody was hurt.... and that dang pole doesn't even have a mark on it (dag'um&amp;nbsp;can't even go down in flames when I'm going down- &amp;nbsp;dag'um)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here are my thoughts sort of at the time:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(Elevator music)Da-duh-da-duh-da-dee... This is annoying I'm going really slow, why's it gotta be so icy.... Okay now turn slight left.... ahem car? left! Okay were sliding, um uh-oh, thats a pole... still sliding.... dag, i'm gonna hit a pole, that stinks, ugh... I don't wanna hit a pole, hitting poles with cars is not good for said cars... BUMP.&amp;nbsp; Well that wasn't that bad.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(5 minutes later) Uhm... The left tire is pointed left and the right tire is pointed right... That's probably not a good thing. Right?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(Couple days later) I guess broken steering rods or axles or whatever they are, are expensive when broken.&amp;nbsp; (well at least I was never emotionally attached to that thing...... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Much&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bye bye Betsy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catch you later on the flipside girlfriend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/578771333/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Wednesday, February 28, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/573719713/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/573719713/item.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Feb 2007 23:08:21 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;Have fun with this...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Question:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Who would be the King of the midgets, the tallest one&amp;nbsp;or the smallest one?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;( a friend of mine got his teacher off topic for half a peroid with it)&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/573719713/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Saturday, January 20, 2007</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/564432282/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/Third_from_the_top/564432282/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jan 2007 13:49:31 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;I thought this was funny.
