Michele's Story
Life
After HS graduation, I married an idiot. Dropped out of college. Disappeared into the mountains of No Cali. 17 years of pure Hell, I broke free, draggin' my 2 incredible kids halfway across the US. Along the way, I met my soulmate, added another kid to the bunch. Drove a big rig across the US, decided my brains were located somewhere other than my posterior, went back to school with a vengeance. Currently working on an AS degree in Computer Support Tech then heading on to Washburn U for a BA in Tech Admin, from there on to Washburn Law. That's right, finally gonna finish what I started 22 years ago. Heading for a career in Internet Law and Computer Forensics.
For those of you who knew me, not much has changed really, I'm am still spontaneous, so who knows what I'll do next. One thing is certain, after graduation, I am coming back to Cali. I spend my spare time working with the ACLU and NORML. Time passes quickly, and this year will mark my 40th trip around the Sun, but I refuse to grow up (and no one can make me).
I still ride, although Corperate HD can kiss my arse, I still prefer the big v-twins, so my mate and I built our own custom rides-RevTech engines. At least KS doesn't have a helmet law. Other than that, nothing much to add. If you want to know anything more, just ask. I might answer, ya never know.
Oh! Beth, if you see this, get ahold of me. It's been far too long.
To sum it all up, my life has been one big adventure after another, never a dull moment. I have never taken the easy way, but making your own path insures a scenic route. And do I have stories to tell. I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything, and I still live my life with no regrets.
"Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so ...Expand for more
much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now."

School
My biggest crush was Brad Beaver (duh).
The first boy I ever danced with was Tony Byrd (I doubt he knew that, but should have, I stepped on his feet more than a few times).
My most embarrasing moment (out of hundreds of them) was when I was in the Color Guard, the Drum Major stepped on my pant leg during a parade ripping them off, where I proceeded to lead the Rifle Corp clad only in my body suit. We won first place, which everyone attributed to my arse.
The most inspirational teachers I ever had were Mrs. Frances Martine (who taught me the value of myself, and encouraged me to follow my heart, even if everyone else in the world didn't agree) & Mr. Payne (the one who gave me music, wherever you disappeared to, you were missed and never forgotten).
My favorite class was Radio (Station KYDS - El Camino HS), even though the FCC suspended me off the air for 2 weeks.
My best friend through it all was Beth Brunssen.
There were many others who I think of from time to time after all these years, wherever you all are, I hope everyone of you have found love and happiness.
Would I do it all over again if given the chance? Hell No! I survived it all the first time, I wouldn't want to push my luck. But, if I could go back in time for just one day, I'd consider it. There are a couple of people I would have been nicer to, and many more I would love to get even with.
