Then and Now
Saturday, May 9th, 2009By Monica F. Helms
Others have been doing this, so I thought it would be interesting to do the same.
Then:
1.) I liked girls and women, but also liked what they wore.
2.) I loved science and science fiction.
3.) I launched model rockets and even started a model rocket club.
4.) I was very mechanically inclined and loved building things with wood, plastics, metal and various moving parts.
5.) I was a wimp. I didn’t play sports except Little League, because I had good hand/eye coordination when batting.
6.) With my friends, I was the follower. No one would listen to my suggestions or my opinions.
7.) I was a mediocre Navy person and employee, doing the least I needed to do to get by.
8.) I loved wearing dresses whenever I could, and for as long as I could.
9.) I did not care about causes or what happened in our country politically.
10.) When making love as a man, it was too short and I wasn’t very thrilled with what my part was in the “process.”
