Tell us something not many people know about you:
It's sometimes hard for me to fall asleep without noise, but I get distracted by music b/c I want to sing along; so when I can't sleep, I'll leave the TV on in my livingroom all night long so I can have the noise of people talking on TV.

[ellenmed]

MerrySunshine hit a cord. I'm changing an answer.

Where would I max out my card? ANN TAYLOR!! Petite section's got it going on.

Hey...I'd be hungry, but at least I'll look good! :D

[iggy]

Sun was an actress?

Good thing MerrySun likes voices when she sleeps. We didn't keep her up with constant shouting during her DC visit then.

Clerks: I lived in Baltimore right after college. It's a nonpretentious city, but I found it kind of limited...especially the industry and culture.

[SidewaysY]

Iggy needs pretencious cities to be happy. I'll just bet you never lived on a dirt road before, have you?

[iggy]

People would just start talking to me on the street and it would freak me out.

I lived on a dirt road for a summer...well the road in front of the house was dirt. Roughing it is overrated.

[kentuckychic]

I'm intrigued by sunshine being a child actress. Can we get some more details?

[MerrySunshine]

iggy, your voices were as a lullaby . . . . ;)

Actually, it would have been better if you all had been acting out a Three's Company episode for me. I usually stick the tube on Nick at Nite for my slumber sound . . . .

[iggy]

I'm writing an angry letter to Nick at Nite since they moved Facts of Life from the original 10:00 PM time slot. Whoever heard of such a thing?

It's now on at 9:30. That's when I clean my rifles.

[MerrySunshine]

The other day (last week even, maybe) I was flipping through and saw a girl that looked suspiciously like a 12 year old Molly Ringwold informing Mrs. Garrett that it was flooding five miles to the north and they'd better run for cover . . . or something like that. I didn't stick around to watch the credits, of course, to see if it really was Molly Ringwold, but maybe you know, dear iggy. Was Molly Ringwold on the pre-Joe Facts of Life when they lived in a sorority-type house and not in rooms, apparently, over the cafeteria?

[iggy]

Oh dear. How did you not know that. She played Molly, the photography buff with divorcing parents. Some of her best work...buck teeth and all.

Other people made cameos...but they're too numerous to mention.

[sunshinegirl]

I was watching Facts of Life the other night...reminded me how much I hated when they were still really little and Jo wasn't on the show.

As for my acting...well, it's not anything fabulous...I wasn't annoying enough to be a big star like the Pepsi girl (comments to yourself). But I was in a bunch of professional shows around Minneapolis from the time I was eight until I was thirteen. It was a lot of fun, and the money was great (did my parents make me save it for college? Oh no...instead I thought better to spend it on bikes and New Kids dolls, and the like...stupid short-sighted child) At thirteen, I decided I didn't want to do it anymore...I wanted to live a more normal life and I didn't want to go to a performing arts high school. So I stopped. Exciting story, isn't it :rolleyes:

[MerrySunshine]

I must confess that I've tried to block all Facts of Life memories from my mind . . . it's owing largely to Tootie, whom I found to be highly annoying in her youth (when she was supposed to be cute - her and her rollerskates!) and, later, highly boring in her college year . . . .

Let's talk Diff'rent Strokes, though. Now, there was a show!

[MerrySunshine]

How can you call the purchage of a New Kids doll a stupid thing, sunshine? The horror!

(BTW, I am the most favorite cousin on the block! My little cousin loved her Lance Bass marionette I gave her for Christmas . . . and the photo I bought for her at the DC concert is framed and on her nightstand where she can kiss him goodnight every night!)

[iggy]

That scary picture of Lance. Nightmares.

[blubutterfly21]

Could you please give us some examples of this Chris?
"Hobby: Erotic origami"

Ummm... paper penis?

[SidewaysY]

Not him, no. That would be an example for YOU maybe. ha ha

I wonder... what erotic orgami would be for different people.

[Short Chris]

Blu I'm not exactly sure what it would entail, but it sounds like a cool hobby to have.

Sideways, just watch out for the papercuts. ;)

[SidewaysY]

I don't think a paper one would do anything for me anyway. If I can't have the real deal, I want something with rechargeable batteries.

[NikDC]

Just because Shorty expects it... :eek:

[iggy]

toxic shock

[insearchofjustin]

Oh my... getting down and dirty this early on a Monday morning.

[SidewaysY]

Sorry ISOJ. I had a GREAT weekend, and it's still on my mind. Batteries not included.

[NikDC]

So Home Depot is the place to go for all your household needs? ;)

[SidewaysY]

Apparently so. The customer service is OUTSTANDING. I think I'll go fill out that Customer Satisfaction survey form that's at the front registers.

[iggy]

Grab me an orange apron if you get a chance...

[SidewaysY]

Only if you promise not to wear anything under it.

[iggy]

oh the chafing

[blubutterfly21]

Well what examples would you be speaking of Sideways... LOL ;) Dammm... Erotic Origami LOL :)

[NEWBS]

Wasn't Leonardo DiCaprio an irritating little **** on Facts of Life? Hasn't changed much, has he?


George Clooney was on it also.

[PB&Kev]

Wow, NEWBS, I don't remember DiCrappio (as my daughter calls him) being on Facts of Life.

I do remember Clooney, though, and I've been trying to catch some of those episodes. He certainly did look different back then.

[NEWBS]

He was a neighbor, I think. A little smart-aleck, as I remember. He'd pop in from time to time. Please tell me I'm not pulling a "Bobby Ewing" and dreaming this stuff.

[NEWBS]

My mistake!

It was "Growing Pains"! He was the homeless kid named Luke.

Joey Lawrence was the smart-aleck of FOL.

[iggy]

McKenzie Astin was on Facts of Life...by the way, I have no idea on the spelling of his name. Speaking of...he was in not one, but two movies simultaneously on HBO last night. They both looked like crap, but that is impressive nonetheless.

[MerrySunshine]

And Joey Lawrence was on Nell, I believe . . . .

[NEWBS]

Those 80s sit-coms run together in my mind. Oh well....

Thanks, 'shine

[iggy]

test

Just making sure my posts aren't invisible.

[MerrySunshine]

I just out-"'shine" you, iggy . . . . ;)

[iggy]

This from the chick that didn't know Molly was a FOL regular. I scoff in your general direction.

[sunshinegirl]

Of course, I also out "shine" you iggy...

You already knew that though.

I also can out-yell you...

[MerrySunshine]

Are you trying to get all Monty Python on me, iggy.
