First of all
I have to tell the story surrounding my kiss in Paris. I have to say I saw plenty of men I wanted to
kiss in Paris.
Especially, the lovely older gentleman who
directed us to find a delicious bottle of wine for our picnic lunch of bread
and cheese.
Can I say charming?
However my
companions and I were riding the Metro, navigating all around the city. We were
so excited to be backpacking our way independent of any tour.
I felt a
prickling sensation upon my neck, and looked up. A gentleman was looking
intently at me from around three feet in a distance. I turned away feeling uncomfortable.
When next I
looked up he was about a foot and a half away staring right at me again……
I raised my
eyes to my friends indicating the man. They were confused but looked. Both
tried to act as if we were all intently engaged in conversation. However as the
time approached for us to make sure we knew our stop….
I looked up, and turned in the direction of
the gentleman. He quickly took the
opportunity to latch on to my lips and me as well.
Well having
two strong women along with me, we were able to pry his lips away, and jump off at
the next Metro stop.
It was all
harmless and we laughed good naturedly about the experience.
Unfortunately
I must have a neon sign that points at me and says,’ take her!’ She is quirky.
So here is
another few ( No I am not doing 11) random facts about me!
At one time I lived
above a drug dealer. Horrible! Scarey stuff happened.
I once had a
strange man try and pick me up by my ankles on the dance floor. (neon sign) My friend started banging on his back so I could regain my balance... and feet!!

Thanks guys....My question- or statement to anyone interested, is to tell everyone something no one would ever guess about you!
Thanks for reading,
Minelle
I love that you listed Spank or Treat. Ewwww about the random kiss. The full story is even worse!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could try your stuffed pizza...or your homemade bread! Mm.
There is a great story about a man traveling by train. He picked his favorite seat and then titled his blog/book that. I can't remember the details.
You can, I can either make it if you visit or I'll send you my recipe!
DeleteHomemade bread, can you send me a loaf?
ReplyDeleteSure! lol
DeleteOf course, if you want the recipe it is super easy!
Minelle,
ReplyDeleteYou've got to get rid of that Neon sign. It's unhealthy.
That book about the brain? Was it called 'How to improve your memory'?
A train trip! What's it gonna be? Orient Express? Swiss Alp Trains? Trans Canada?
Yes...unfortunately if you want a laugh....the stories I could tell. lol
DeleteThe book is primarily about the adolescent brain! However I can always use ideas on how to improve my memory.
I almost said like the Orient express. I think the visual that comes to mind, is the posh one in Africa.
Awww - thanks for doing that Minelle. Everything I learn about you makes me like you more. :)
ReplyDeletehugs
lillie
Ditto dear!
DeleteAre you feeling better?
Ian got my joke...right?
Gee Minelle it is a good thing we didn't know each other in our single days- the adventures we would have had, none of our doing of course.
ReplyDeleteI too had one of those stupid signs. I even had a stalker, ( not a great one as I was working in the bush out of town at the time and he was stalking my house...but ya know). As for the drug dealer..did he have a female roomate? Not adding anymore to that either.
What type of art fancies your pleasure? ( psst won one of those awards myself back in the day ). I love or used to sketch and do water colours. Love combining the medium actually.
As a fun little 'game' this was, it is amazing how different yet similar people are here in blog land.
Blog Highjacking Willie
I teach my students to combine actually. I love mixed media.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the drug dealer was below us and my daughter was an infant.....! Awful! He went ballistic, thank God we were not home!
Maybe the guy who wrote me for two years planning our eventual date...qualifies.
I was so naive!
Ohhh...stalked too.
DeleteSo you are an art teacher? How did I miss that. I had a fantastic relationship with my art teacher! In fact I did until 2 years ago when she moved..hmmm? Maybe she though she had a stalker too! *wink*
I probably could have taught you....!
DeleteWait where do you live? *Wink*
I absolutely love teaching art, and I am sure your art teacher didn't think you were stalking her. We are a bit of a different breed.
Oh I KNOW you are a different breed! Why do you think I stalked her! LOL . She would be much older than you.
DeleteArt class by far was the high light of my high school years! Your students are very lucky to have you.
speaking of HIGH...guess I wasn't paying attention in English--Highlight...and yes media...grrr
DeleteI can say the same, I am lucky to be able to do what I love.
DeleteI am not the spelling or grammar Queen--- just ask anyone!
OMG Minelle - I agree with Bas - hope that neon sign is broken and buried somewhere! Your girlfriends had to pry the random kisser off of you? Sheesh! And the pupose of picking you up by the ankles on the dance floor was...
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed learning more about you! :)
Blessings,
Cat
If I ever write the story of the cornfield.....You guys will honestly think I am attracted to trouble.
DeleteThe guy wanted to marry me....he never met me before but lived in my building.(Not a college student) CRAZY!
Hi Minelle, really enjoyed reading this. The full random kiss story does sound worse than the highlights!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that neon sign has got to go Lol
Hugs
Roz
These crazy things happened in my past! My life is quite calm these days, the neon rarely blinks.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to enjoy the minor crazies of normal life! Lol
LOL Minelle...you are full of fun surprises.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you said fun Susie. I am all of who I say the good the bad and the ugly.
