As if you really give a rip about this week&#8217;s Friday Five !! lol :)You&#8217;re probably here to see if I&#8217;ve published my post about my first GNO with The UnUsual Suspects !! Heck &#8230; that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here &#8230; to see if I already had written and published it !! \ud83d\ude42 Apparently I haven&#8217;t.

What does it say in the signature line of your emails?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Hmmm &#8230; certainly nothing really cool or interesting. If you&#8217;re really interested, send me an e-mail \ud83d\ude42 &#8230; I really do try hard to answer any e-mails I receive &#8230; though I know I&#8217;m a bit behind again &#8230; (sworry Robin and Stacy !!! :))<\/p>\n<p>Ahhh heck, I&#8217;m feeling a bit revealing today &#8230; so I&#8217;ll just tell ya &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Amy Preston<br \/>\namy@amynews.com<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eOhyx27Zrn\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/amynews.com\/\">AmyNews &#8211; It&#8217;s All About The A &#8211; Home<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;AmyNews &#8211; It&#8217;s All About The A &#8211; Home&#8221; &#8212; AmyNews.com\" src=\"https:\/\/amynews.com\/embed\/#?secret=eOhyx27Zrn\" data-secret=\"eOhyx27Zrn\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>See !!! I told you it was boring !! \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<i>2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven&#8217;t graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I had a senior quote in my high school yearbook. We really didn&#8217;t do anything like that. I graduated from a moderately-sized high school &#8230; about 500 in my graduating class &#8230; we were lucky to get our senior pictures in the year book !! \ud83d\ude42 Though I did make the yearbook for lettering on the cross country team, being all-conference on the debate team, making the state tournament for forensic speaking, president of the physics club, vice-president of the National Honor Society, student council representative and Most Likely To Have A Sex Change. Well, not really the last one &#8230; but it would have been funny !! \ud83d\ude42 Seriously &#8230; look at the stuff I did in high school &#8230; what a phreakin&#8217; geek !!! (Though in an attempt to counter my geekness, I did play organized baseball through high school and lots and lots of pick-up basketball !! Really !! I did !! And I wasn&#8217;t bad !! Really !! :))<\/p>\n<p><i>3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Well &#8230; personally &#8230; I&#8217;m not a big fan of vanity plates &#8230; because, well &#8230; it suggests that your vain. However, I did enjoy the humor of some of the edgier subtle plates that have been long since banned by states &#8230; you know, like EMWOLB (read it in reverse as in a mirror) or 6Q-2Q (read the hyphen as a minus sign and what&#8217;s the result &#8230; 4Q) &#8230; you know, childish things like that.<\/p>\n<p>I can comfortably say that I really can&#8217;t imagine getting anything like a vanity plate that would say something like &#8230; QTPIE, SWTNES or TUUS (the last one is the acronym to The UnUsual Suspects &#8230; which if said phonetically &#8230; is also one of the toasts we made last night when we clicked our beer bottles together &#8230; <i>To Us<\/i> !! Kewl, huh? I don&#8217;t think anyone else noticed it, but I did, because &#8230; well, I notice krap like that, I&#8217;m a dweeb &#8230; please refer to the previous discussion in my answer to the second question. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n<p>However !!!!!!!! I might just have to get a vanity plate for totally butt reasons &#8230; you see, I&#8217;ve had the same license plate since 1984 &#8230; yes &#8230; 20 years this April !! And it&#8217;s showing it&#8217;s age &#8230; I can&#8217;t believe I haven&#8217;t been ticketed yet because the paint is peeling and its barely legible &#8230; but I have the plate number memorized &#8230; and I&#8217;m really bonded with it &#8230; so if they ever make me get a new license plate &#8230; I&#8217;m going to get a vanity plate with the exact same combination of letters and numbers as I have now &#8230; so it&#8217;ll be a vanity plate, but not really about being vain.<\/p>\n<p><i>4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>No. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><i>5. What would you like your epitaph to be?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;d be wonderful if it could sincerely say something simple like ..<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>A great mother, wife, friend.<\/i>&#8220;,<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s pretty unlikely &#8230; so I&#8217;ll be happy with &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>A great wife and friend.<\/i>&#8220;,<\/p>\n<p>But again, that&#8217;s not really within my control &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be very content with it simply reading &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8221;<i>A great friend.<\/i>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand &#8230; I&#8217;m also really partial to &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>A Jedi like no other<\/i>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah &#8230; right.
