and I'm bored, so I thought maybe you'd like to play with me??

Finish this sentence:

Believe it or not...

Okay, I'm first.

Believe it or not, I was a movie extra as a kid and appeared (albeit very briefly, and in an aerial shot) in Ghost Buster's 2, and in HBO's Behind the Scenes with Michael J. Fox when he was filming The Secret of My Success.

Next...?

Oh and while in college I worked for an investment bank and the broker I worked for was good friends with and invested for Jason Priestly. I got to speak to him every day. 90210 was coming to an end at the time but I was still smitten!

Hrmm..

Believe it or not,

I was born in Houston but they weren't sure if i was blind so I stayed in the hospital for 10 days then my father smuggled me on to an Air Force transport in a cardboard box to fly me to Cuba where the rest of my family was. (Gitmo Bay, Navy)

I am an extra in 'Selena' I really didnt care much for J.Lo or Selena for that matter. It's just that San Antonio LOVED her and they were giving out free coke and hotdogs at the field they filmed it in. (The outside concert) My best friend and I figured why not.

My other believe it or not's aren't so cheerful so I'll leave them off. heh.

PS: I, too, love my car. 93 MX3. I have gone to Carlisle for the past two years. This year it's in Harrisburg (got kicked out of Carlisle) but I can't make it (Saving for the wedding) and my car NEVER wins, I enter it as Non-compete just so I can park in on the field LOL!

My FH and our friends go to Carlisle too. This will be my first one!!

LOL- Thanks! I LOVE the car. How about you?

Believe it or not I was a Mets ballgirl for 3 years...fun having been a huge fan, but even more fun getting to hang with the players following the game.

Re: BELIEVE IT OR NOT ~ I saw this on another board...

My friend from a million years ago used to be a Met's ballgirl. Her name was Laurie. You wouldn't happen to be her, now would you?

Just checked your profile, nope not her. Sorry...

Re: BELIEVE IT OR NOT ~ I saw this on another board...

Believe it or not ..

Growing up, my cousin used to hang out with Matt Dillon and his brother, Kevin. They grew up in Westchester. I had the biggest crush on Matt (even before he was very famous) and always tried to angle an invitation to go out with them .. But I was the 'little cuz' and there was no way they'd let me hang out with the boys!

But when I did get to meet him, I wish I never had .. what a JERK

Re: BELIEVE IT OR NOT ~ I saw this on another board...

Felicia, that is funny b/c my bf was just telling me how he went to school with him. Matt was actually in 1 play in HS and he did a horrible job acting, so it was a big joke when he became an actor. Nice house...
