Host Shows

What kind of talk shows did you watch?  Ellen DeGeneres?  Who else?  Steve Irwin??

I don't know "what" people like Britney Spears did.  Don't you remember they had Star Search set up all glamorous like for baton?  It was all fancy and bright?  For some reason, it totally enveloped me and jumped out at me each time.  We watched these Talent Searches a lot until my brother was born.  I know when I was a baby, my parents watched MTV, though my dad is born in 1950.  Obviously, my mom is young.  She is Chinese Indonesian.  She was happy to be called a Baby Boomer, but they let anyone be a Baby Boomer, the Late Boom.

I guess I was pretty much out because my hair wasn't white.  It was dark.  I don't know about girls with honey hair, but people like the energy of people with monotonous hair colors.  Also, I was a bit slimy.  I kinda wasn't fluffy.  I wasn't beefed up, neither.  We were poor.  That was the excuse.  Maybe, I had problems, too.

My parents used to look at me like was perverted all the time and stuff like when I danced at the end of the show to the grand music finale with the credits and the really old people smiling.  They were kinda shaped like penguins, really tall.  They had a strong stance and smiles.

I think Audrey Hepburn died before we moved to Boca Raton, where Olivia Newton-John lives now.  I know she promotes healthcare, or, rather, fitness and good health.  She built a center somewhere, finished not too long ago, maybe a few years ago...

Anyway, so we didn't watch those shows, after awhile.  When my little brother was born, we walked to the movie theater and saw free movies of "The Jetson's."  Also we saw Fantasia.  My mom used to tell me how like strict it was it seemed seeing it at the movie theater, too, as a little girl.  I saw it a lot.

Then, I did baton in Boca Raton, well, Deerfield Beach.  I had a good picture of me my first year but lost it.  My 2nd year I got thinner but wasn't as cute.   I quit ballet and did more gymnastics.  I wanted a harder ballet school.  However, we moved to the oldest continuing city in the U.S., and they only had Spanish Dance there.  We spent a lot of time walking around the city.  It seemed we could never get to all the landscape.  My dad and brother would walk to play putt putt.  It was really so cute!  That was the life, for me.  That's when Titanic came out.  That's when the internet became like mandatory.
