~Thursday Thirteen # 7 "California" ~

Thirteen Things About California & Suz 1. I lived there for 3 years, 1982 - 1985. 2. I moved there from New York because my high school sweetheart asked me to marry him and his family was re-locating. I was just out of Business school. 3. When I first arrived I lived with his sister who was already living there for a month. She was the secretary for the vice president of Warner Bros Records. 4. After I got a job there as an Assistant Department Manager of accessories, I moved into a studio apartment in North Hollywood, CA. While I worked there if we saw anyone famous, we weren't aloud to over react. Part of "Fast Time At Ridgemont High" was filmed there while I was working there. 5. Besides being assistant manager for the accessories department, later on I left that and was assistant manger for woman's sportswear. 6. I bought my first car in Ca., a Chevy Chevette. I paid 1,500 for it and my boyfriends mom had to co-sign for it. 7. I met 3 close friends whiling working there, one Iam still in contact with, she has since moved outside of San Fran, Ca. 8. Because my boyfriends sister worked at WB, my boyfriend and I got to be extras in two ZZ Top videos and meet ZZ Top and see their car. We had to sign agreement's that no cameras were aloud on the set. The two videos were "Shes Got Legs" and Well Dressed Man". You cant see me in the first one, but you can see me really quickly at the bar in the second one. 9. Also because of his sister we got to be fill ins at a American Music Awards, which was a lot of fun. We just had to fill in the empty seats. 10. We would also get up front seats at sports events and at one Kings hockey game I actually caught a puck while they were practicing, and lord did it hurt! 11. I have also seen Rod Stewart and Van Halen in concert, up front seats. 12. While there I also visited Disneyland 5 times, San Diego zoo twice, and San Fran twice (3 times if you count when I visited my friend in 1999. 13. After 3 years of living in CA., I moved back to New York. After 6 years of being with my high school sweetheart, we had grown apart, so I broke it off and was home sick for NY and moved back there. Also two movies I remember the most seeing while living there were Ghost Busters & Purple rain. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! (leave your link in comments, I'll add you here!)
