wednes | Now I am the one who is "it"

aicerno tagged me to tell you all six unusual things about myself. I'm racking my brain to think of six things that most of you don't know. But I will...my apologies if you know some of these things already:

1. In the late 1990's used to be a fairly regular commentor on a talk radio show hosted by

mrcrankypants. I talked about numerous topics including drugs, Tiger Stadium, phonesex as a job, cats, psychology, and a host of other topics I'm only marginally qualified to discuss. I even had a creepy radio stalker who cam around twice when I was on the air, and called several times when I did the show from home. I don't do too much radio anymore, but I'd like to do more voice stuff.

2. In college I directed a main stage performance of No Exit which is one of my favorite plays. I was the only student to ever direct main stage in my four years at Olivet. The play was not so good, and I found that my people skills, and management skills in particular were terribly, terribly poor. I don't do much directing anymore, but my people skills (arguably, I'm sure) are better.

3. I wish I had some tap shoes. I want to practice up again, because my tap dancing skills are likely not what they used to be. But I am a pretty good tap dancer--even though

uterdic doesn't let me tap dance in his movies.

4. The first R rated motion picture I ever snuck in to see was this one. It was not very popular, nor risque. It had no memorable scenes and starred a bunch of people, the lead "actor" in paricular, who went on to do a whole lotta nothing. I'll bet most of you have never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

5. When I was a very little kid, I was jealous of Christians. I thought they were all in on some huge, cool secret about life and death and who's running it all, and I was pissed that they wouldn't let me in on it because I didn't know any of their cultish chants and songs. Even when I got a little older, I was jealous of people who honestly thought they could relax because ultimatley, everything in the universe was as it should be. How nice it must be, I thought to be absolutely sure that everything that happens is part of a greater purpose. But I have never been able to actually beleive that--not in any realistic way.

6. While I do not have a favorite candy bar, I feel strongly that any and all items who call themselves Candy Bars must contain the following: chocolate, nut or nut butter, something crunchy. If they don't contain these three things, they do not count. Note: plain bars of chocolate are called chocolate bars (or just "chocolate") and not Candy Bars. IMHO, of course.
