Anyway, what caused me to become so nostalgic was a picture I have of me sitting on my deck at night holding our .22(for shooting at coyotes). I remember this night quite clearly because the gun backfired on me and I thought I was deaf. I also felt gun pellet pieces hitting my face. I was showing my friend how good of a shot I was, and it literally blew up in my face. She laughed, and humiliated,I put the gun away.
Now I don't exactly live in some metropolitan area where I would get in shit for shooting a gun off my porch, however I don't think my neighbors would appreciate it. I just miss being able to do whatever the hell I want in my backyard and not have to explain to my neighbors why I did it.
Now, I could post this picture to prove my rednecky ways** but I won't. One reason is because I would have to scan it and download it and blah blah blah, but the real reason is because I've lost weight since the picture so I think I look fat in it. How am I losing weight you ask(as though I think anyone really cares)? Diet (by diet I mean I am taking diet pills for thyroid boosting and some illegal ones that contain ephedrine which make me really hyper). Also I drink stupid diet coke now which cuts out seriously thousands of calories for me in a day. But it tastes like crap.
Maybe tomorrow if I feel like it I will post the picture, because it is funny. Maybe.
*Yes I still think of Saskatchewan as home
**Yes I'm a redneck, I don't care.

I decided to post the picture even though it's not the best of me. Oh well, I look so happy with my gun. Obviously this is before the gun backfired...
I can't believe that picture!
ReplyDeleteI find it oddly intriguing....
I also find it fascinating you don't love the taste of diet coke! I grew up with a diabetic brother, so everything in our house was sugar-free. So now, I can't even taste regular coke....
I actually, not that you asked, think walking (quickly) for a half hour to 40 minutes will take off the extra what? three pounds?
I love that photo. I wish I knew you so I could put that up in my home!
