I’m having a very Flashdance kind of day today. I registered for a welding class at [OTC](http://www.otc.edu/continuinged/documents/CESP07.pdf) which begins in a couple of weeks. I’ve been wanting to learn to weld for a couple of years now and the opportunity arose recently. My friend Sarah is taking it with me.
Now I just have to find some scissors to cut up my sweatshirts…
Pretty Pretty Bang Bang 
Why do you need to cut up your sweatshirts? Burl thinks it’s great that you’re taking this class – he’s a “Welding Nerd” and now you guys can talk welding talk – whatever that is. I’m just jealous – I want to take a fun class but right now don’t want to take the time (notice I didn’t say I don’t have the time because I could make time if it was really important!)
Mom, you’re showing your nerd side. Cutting up a sweatshirt is in reference to the movie Flashdance. The main character was a female welder who danced on the side. She wore cut up sweatshirts for dancing which spawned the fashion craze of the 80s.
You’re a Maniac!
🙂
…there’s a railing on my apt building steps that could use some repair…do you do freelance welding?
Well, I just don’t know about freelancing. Ask me in a month when I’ve completed the first class.
How weird is this? I search for flashdance sweatshirt since I’m going to an 80’s party, find your comment immediately, and I live in Nixa, MO. I guess it’s a small cyberworld too!! Best wishes with the welding class!!
Welcome to my blog! Very weird that you should be searching for Flashdance and find me – a very close neighbor. Stop back again.
Hee hee so funny
I am going to an 80’s party (tonite) too…. Im just about to cut up a purple sweatshirt. Haven’t found any legwarmers yet though…. But I’m from Canada!
So how do u make a flashdance sweatshirt anyways?
You cut out the neck and cut off the arms. It was the thing to do in the ’80s.
ahh thanks!!!!
