Revealed: Two truths and a lie

Rate: 8 Flag

Truth be told … I never dated a NJ Congressman! Flirted with a few … but really, who wants to date a politician? Buffy nailed it -- who would admit to it, especially in NJ? Fireeyes got it right too.

I did at one time have 107 pen pals. I consider it my first foray into social networking, when I was around 11 or 12. I used to save all the letters in shoe boxes. I still have a few, along with couple of Bay City Roller slam books that got passed around the world as well.

And the angry pick-up truck driver was, unfortunately a true incident. In his defense, he was mad at me for canceling plans and also was coked out of his mind. He really didn’t know what he was doing, half in his truck, half out, trying to get me to hop in and talk. I was in a parking lot, having just finished covering a story. I simply jumped in and out between parked cars and waited for the cops to come. I knew someone would call 911. They did. It was fine. We broke up. It was a very short-lived relationship!

This was fun Sheep. What’s the next assignment?

Cindy, I don't think OS is ready for then next one this soon. I'll hold it in reserve. Have a great weekend.
well I was wrong darnet.. As far as not admitting it even if you did actually do it? that's exactly what i thought about Lonnie Lazar eating a burger king picnic on the grave of Elvis. I was wrong there too!
I think I might like to hear the story of you flirting with the Congressmen, and which ones.

As far as the truck driver - I should hope it was short-lived.
Oh wow, I managed to get one right!!!!

I just noticed your birthday...same as my ex's, lol. I won't hold it against you!

Great stories!
I just knew it was going to be Frank Pallone, Jr. (just kidding). And I totally overanalyzed truck jumping. Good ones!
How the hell did I miss *this* one? The confession was wonderful!
i had you all wrong, cindy. but if you want some help on the next assignment, i'm available.
see I was so wrong, that I thought I commented on this and I didn't ... so wrong on so many levels. good post
Hi Cindy. This is obviously one of those posts that you need to catch at the beginning. Since I didn't and since I'm totally confused... I'll just say hi.
You got me too. I would have bet money on the politician since you had access to so many and they you!
i guess it seems natural reporters and politicians might hook up, but i don't think there's one i ever considered... if not for the web i'd probably still have pen pals, maybe more than 107!
Ah, so... hindsight is 20-20; of course you could have had 107 pen pals; you're a writer. A compulsive communicator. However, I am a little disappointed that you didn't date a congressman... I wanted to read the follow-up post that I would have insisted upon! Nicely done. More please!
