[stylist] Impressions

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

How funny. I understand about first impressions. People usually think
they have me pegged based on how I look, but, as many here know, I have
a pretty sarcastic sense of humor, and I enjoy rock and roll more than
the bubble-gum pop people assume I love. I'm also a bit of a tom-boy
despite the make-up and high heels, grin. I was the only girl at the
dirt bike track or riding my bike off ramps and flipping around. Ross
and I also have a weird sense of humor most people don't get or
appreciate, and we often joke about flirting or having crushes on people
since we are rather secure in our relationship. Nothing wrong with a
crush as long as you know where you go to bed each night. I usually am
better friends with guys, and though I can do it, I'm not big on
chit-chat; I'd rather discuss deeper topics, but again, am known for my
sarcastic tone, grin. Although, I've become rather a granola mommy,
smile. I'm even making my own baby food, though I love baking an
cooking, and it's pretty easy, just time consuming.

Chris, well this might really blow your mind - are you ready to hear
this?

How about a rock-n-roll, very aggressive,  wild  woman on a motorcycle?

 Until I lost my sight, 5 years ago, I was in black leathers and out
riding 
my "bike," meeting up with other biker chicks from different cities
around 
where I live - and riding all day long. My students were absolutely
stunned 
when they first realized I had a super  customized hot and fast bike -
one 
year  I bought myself a birthday present - Cobra Drag Pipes - and a
violet 
Memphis Shade for my Blue Dragon - sure surprised my husband when he
came 
home and I told him I had those things ordered. He didn't believe me, 
really.

My bike is the "Blue Dragon" - the dragon's turquoise head faces me on
the 
tank, and it's body and tail encircle around the entire bike - along
with 
several JAGUARS racing with  it - and the tail of my dragon ends on the
back 
fender. If you really pay attention, you'll see that the dragons tail
has 
ensnared one of the Jaguars and is killing it. At night, I have neon
lights 
that snine down on to the ground, from the bike. When at a red light, at

night, I would often flick on that neon lighting and entertain the cars 
around me on the highway - they loved it.  When riding through Amish 
country, where I live, the Amish school teachers would wave to me as I
went 
by.  My Dragon has won "best of show" at some biker shows.  And, yes, I
am a 
tree-hugger, incesnse burning, wild woman!  I still have my bike - but
we 
cannot spend the days together any longer.  I did try to convince my 
mobility trainer that I could see well enough at night to ride - but she

tested me, and then gave me the sad news.  Some nights I stand there by
the 
road, and I think, for sure, I could ride that night. Riding  my bike
down 
the road on a dark night was like  an exquisite dance with a powerful 
partner on the dance floor.   I started working on that prompt today,
with 
lyrics, and I am writing about my romance with my Blue Dragon.
