It's one of those things that you're supposed to do and then tag 25 other people for them to do the same. So far, the results have indeed been interesting, as well as the comments on my own.
25 Random Things About Me:
1. I was originally a pre-med major.... so along with my degree in acting & directing, I have a minor in science. Weird.
2. It takes me two hours to wake up and get going after I get up. I am SO not a morning person. Morning people should be severely punished.
3. I'm ambidextrous. I can write illegibly with either hand.
4. My computer/music room is painted royal purple. It's also royally disorganized.
5. I don't get stage fright (unless I have to sing classically; then I worry).
6. I'm a reformed Type A personality. Constant perfectionism takes too much effort, and other people find it annoying. I still have to fight it, though.
7. Few things make me angrier than being told what I think.
8. I like food that hurts (hot, spicy, bring it on!).
9. First, it was a one-book project, and now it's a THREE-book project, and there's nothing I can do about it but tell the story with as much truth and honesty as I can.
10. I don't have much talent for foreign languages. Despite this, I'm trying to teach myself Irish Gaelic.
11. I am a person who cares about cats. I dislike dogs intensely.
12. I hate dressing nicely (unless there's money involved). Ties are a kind of stylized noose.
13. In spite of its incredible simplicity, people misspell and get my name wrong all the time.
14. I'm a Christmas Eve baby. My birthday is September 24.
15. I fractured my skull by falling down a set of concrete stairs when I was nine months old. Some people feel that this explains a lot.
16. My high school nickname: Spock.
17. I'm an unreformed folkie, and I love singer/songwriter/guitarists.
18. I could have stayed in college my whole life, getting degree after degree. I love to learn, am eternally curious, and school beats the heck out of reality.
19. The more I read in the newspaper about the state of our nation, the better the idea of moving to Ireland looks.
20. I met my wife in a men's dressing room. I came in dressed as an Indian; she introduced herself, pulled my clothes off me and stuffed me into a nine-foot-long furry green crocodile suit. Absolutely true.
21. I have a picture of myself with Helen Hayes, first lady of the American theatre. One of us is dead now.
22. There are probably 2,500 books in the house.
23. I took two years of ballet in college.
24. I've picked up many skills as a result of being in the theatre.... For instance, I sew and have had my own machine for 30 years.
25. I can't draw, paint, sketch, or anything like that, and have always wished that I could. I stick to photography.
26. I know the rules call for 25, but I'm a dedicated nonconformist.
