I may look like a supermodel in my hand-tailored clothes, but look at how tough I really am!<br />2. Back off, Buddy.<br /><br />Scars as writing prompts:<br />1. There once was a woman from Nam…<br />2. What shape is this scar? What story does it tell?<br /><br />Scars as Seattleite commodity:<br />1. Brian’s falsetto voice here, “"Oh, it's just this thing that happened in Vietnam."<br />2. Did I ever tell you about the time the streets were soooo flooded…<br />3. Rain?

When someone asks you about one, play it cool at first; "Oh, it's just this thing that happened in Vietnam."<br /><br />Then they will REALLY want to hear you tell the story, and you can make up any story you want.Brian Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403063305711678063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28749709.post-55732255743027724952010-03-18T07:53:26.827-07:002010-03-18T07:53:26.827-07:00You know Marjie, I imagine you as a stylish Indian...You know Marjie, I imagine you as a stylish Indiana Jones. Perhaps you should purchase a whip and a brown fedora to help cross those huge, gaping holes and to deal with the evil motorbike drivers while still sporting the silk and heels. (Cue in cool soundtrack in the background) <br /><br />As far as the scars, there's a tiny, warped part of me that is a little jealous. Not that I want either one of us to be hurt, but when I have a scar or a burn, it's from the oven or the iron or as a result of some classic, graceful Annette move. <br /><br />As always, you are my hero and I think you're very cool. <br /><br />AnnetteAnnettenoreply@blogger.com
