Damn memes! Get off my lawn!
Yeah yeah yeah. All right, all right, i'll do it…
1. I compulsively flip my hair when i'm nervous. I'm told people think i'm trying to look like a rockstar when i do it.
2. I wrote, produced and composed the soundtrack for a short film that aired on PBS repeatedly for years.
3. I don't own a TV, listen to commercial radio or read mainstream newspapers. I believe commercials and mainstream news are psychologically damaging.

5. Once i started to write, four years ago, writing became so important that the rest of my life has warped around its gravity.
6. My entire family was nearly murdered on a camping trip when i was one.
7. I unconsciously form a thumbs-up with my right hand whenever i walk, run, or exercise. When i notice, i force myself to stop.
8. I played the villain in a really bad direct-to-video horror film. One could tell i was the villain from my black eye-patch.
9. I've been deeply in love three times.
10. I usually cry when i finish writing a novel.
11. I was the engineer for a number of famous 90s industrial bands.
12. I use the lowercase "i" when writing about myself.
13. I owned a recording studio, but lost tens of thousands of dollars (as did my parents) when my partner ran with all the equipment.
14. I identify as bisexual, but have only been in relationship with three men in my life.
15. I've lived in four or five intentional communities, depending on how you count.

21. I used to be in a queer vigilante group called the Pink Angels that patrolled the gay neighborhoods of Chicago. I quit, disillusioned, when the group voted against patrolling lesbian neighborhoods. After i quit, i became a volunteer counselor for queer teenagers.
22. I tested for Mensa, then declined to join when i passed.
23. After 911, i voluntarily lived below the poverty-line so none of my tax money would go to the Bush administration. This year may be the first time i've paid taxes in eight years.
24. I had never eaten ethnic food (except for Mexican and Chinese) till i moved to Chicago. Now i generally refuse to eat American food. I love Love LOVE spicy food, rich food, and sauces!
