Facts about P. T.

On Friday I hung out with one of my best friends. One of the greatest things about this particular friend is that we can do the most mundane, boring things, and it will turn out to be some of the funniest times that you can imagine. This friend of mine lives in a big old house that has been turned into two apartments, and her apartment has rights to the attic and the basement. One of the first things that Jazlyn* did upon moving to this new apartment was go exploring, and in the back corner of the basement she found a pile of things that belonged to a resident of the house that clearly no longer inhabited it. Pile is not a fair description of the amount of things she found from this one particular former resident, I think that hoard might be a better classification.

Jazlyn has become obsessed with this person.

So on Friday night, after enjoying a lovely dinner of sushi, we then went into her basement so that I could "meet" P. T. And I must admit P. T. is quite the entertainer.
Disclaimer: We were completely sober for this evening.

Here are a few things that we learned about Ms. P. T. on Friday night:

• P. T. grew up in Tennessee
• P. T. was an average student, though she did win an award in math in middle school
• P. T. once owned or co-owned a boat in Florida
• P. T. was voted most likely to teach Home-EC in her senior yearbook
• P. T. did art therapy
• P. T. wrote bad poetry in her early teens
• P. T. had a HUGE crush on a guy named Alan, whom we suspect played high school football
• P. T., though passionate about it, was not very good at needlepoint
• P. T. got caught up in a pyramid scheme to sell candles that were very similar to Yankee Candles
• If it were still the 80's P. T. would be very much in style with the choice of clothing that she left behind
• P. T. was at one time was P. C., we think that she divorced Mr. C.; what we don't know is if the pyramid scheme was a deciding factor of the divorce or if it came after to fill the void of an empty house
• P. T. has/had relatives in New Mexico
• P. T. has a fairly decent taste in art, though her skills leave much to be desired
• P. T. graduated high school in 1981
• P. T. once owned or co-owned a time-share in Florida
• P. T. either really loved or really hated Christmas; she has/had a large amount of Christmas decorations the basement and we can not decide if she loved Christmas so much that she has/had all those decorations, OR, if she hated Christmas and that is why she has left the multitude of decorations behind
• P. T. has either two daughters or two nieces or both

As you can see there is a lot that we uncovered about Ms. P. T., the best part is that we only got through one trunk, and there are at least 6 of them down there. So we have a lot to look forward to. I will keep you updated.
