• You end your vacation early by leaving your military-deployed husband behind at the hotel alone in Ft. Lauderdale, sacrificing the last few days we'd have together before he went back. Change your flight, fly back to Philly, land at the airport at noon, get your friend to pick you up and drive 5 hours to Pittsburgh to catch the concert. [Courtesy of Kristen]

• You use your boss's credit card to buy the best seats for Bridge School even though you still haven't figured out how you'll get there from FL. But months later, are almost in tears when he calls you from the car to sing Evenflow along w/the radio. And on some level you feel as though you've done your part that day to educate the masses...

• You've got a really deep & meaningful reason for having the Stickman on your arm, just in case you ever meet any of the band and they ask "why the fuck did you get that?"
