Ok, damnit, I was tagged by Jessie, so here are my 20 random facts about..well...me:
1. The first movie I remember seeing was Star Wars. In the old century Theatre on 86th Street in Manhattan. It was one of those great old movie theatres with a balcony and all. I don't remember my sister being born, which happened the same year, but I remember Star Wars. Typical.
2. I once got poison ivy on my penis. I was 12 or so. I had to go to the hospital.
3. I"ve been to the hospital at least 10 times, most famously for breaking my hand playing miniature golf. No kidding.
4. I need lots and lots of alone time. I have no idea why.
5. I work at least 70 hours a week. Not by choice.
6. I've seen Bruce Springsteen in concert about 80 times or so. I've probably seen about 1000 live shows. I used to go to 2 or three a week.
7. I spent a full half year after college traveling around the country with some friends who were in a lesbian folk band as they played colleges. I feel like I've been to every college on the east coast. I did it just to do it.
8. My favorite job ever was at a music store in the mall.
9. I miss Solaris. She's the reason I joined this site.
10. I'm going to New Orleans in a week. I'm very excited about it, although I can only stay for the weekend.
11. I love having friends all over the country. I haven't paid for a hotel...um..ever.
12. I've met some people on this site who have become some of my favorite people in the world. You know who you are.
13. I got a present from Noir in the mail yesterday, which made me very happy.
14. Kayna tells me that she hates me just about every day. That makes me happy too.
15. I want very much for Vinyle to find a job and have some of that weight lifted off her shoulders.
16. My pediatrician was the son of the poet William Carlos Williams. Of course I didn't know that, or care, when I was 10 and had strep throat.
17. I was Catholic until I reached the age of reason. I still believe in God, but my God is pretty redically different from the God that the religious right wants me to believe in.
18. I hate coffee. Hate it.
19. I've been having two conversations at the same time all morning, with someone on hold. It's been like that for a week here.
20. I don't talk to a single person I went to high school with anymore.
That's about it.
Ok, I'm tagging Vinyle, laceyglove, and Severus.

Thanks for the offer for drinks tomorrow, I'll call you and let you know, ok? I'm expecting Paul home so if he's around I'd like to get some quality time in. But I definitely don't think I should sit around for another night by myself, so I'll make you entertain me if that's going to happen
PS. Your friends are sweet
Recent highlight Sufjan Stevens.
Poison Ivy on the penis? man.. ouch.
I've never been in a hospital.. well not for me anyway.
