    I used to procrastinate, but then I decided to do something
    about it.
    One of these days...
691.3SWAM3::ANDRIES_LAand so it goes ...Fri Feb 01 1991 21:2814
    Terrible but true:
    
    In my teen years, I used to enjoy consuming an entire container of
    ready-to-spread cake frosting in one sitting; just me, a spoon and
    a good movie on tv.  (Kids, do NOt try this at home!)
      
    Of course now I've gone the other way; pumping iron, aerobic exercise,
    unprocessed foods.  Result: a very low cholestrol level, 6.8% body fat
    and the best shape of my life.

    I used to pin my hair up so it looked short, put on my brother's coat
    and tie, and sing into a fake microphone, pretending I was John
    Davidson.  All in the privacy of my room, of course.

691.14Ironed my hairWORDY::STEINHARTPixillatedMon Feb 25 1991 12:352
    I used to iron my hair (yes - on the ironing board) to get it straight. 
    
691.15and wore them with t-shirts, no less!FDCV07::HSCOTTLynn Hanley-ScottMon Feb 25 1991 16:454
    I used to iron my jeans - it was the only way I could get my mom's
    permission to wear them to school.  For years afterwards, I couldn't
    wear jeans that weren't pressed, and even now, fold them with a crease.
