To celebrate I will adhere to the virtual time-honored tradition of sharing some little known facts about myself.
1. I love Wilco.
2. I love micro-brewed beers.
3. I love John Cusack.
4. I'm a wiseass.
5. Not necessarily in that order.
6. I taught English for two years in Tokyo and always introduced myself to my classes with this icebreaker: tell 3 things about yourself and one of them must be a lie. Here are my three:
-When I was 17, I was suspended from school.
-When I was 18, I hitch-hiked across the country.
-When I was 19, I was arrested and put in jail.
Which one is the lie? My Japanese students got it wrong every time.
7. I've never been suspended from school.
8. I’ve been to Nam. Vietnam.
9. And also China, Thailand, South Korea, Europe, Turkey, Mexico, Nicaragua and the Toronto film festival where they have over 300 movies from 55 different countries.
10. I’ve never water-skied barefoot like the Hypocritical One, but I did do a sailing course with Outward Bound in Maine and ended up being an instructor there one summer.
11. I have a huge collection of memorabilia dolls ranging from Barry Goldwater to Barry Gibbs.
12. I’m a member of The Couch Surfing Project.
13. I did a solo backpacking trip to Europe after college.
14. I hate milk.
15. My greatest talent is in arranging the song order on CD mixes. I’m an excellent arranger.
16. And I have excellent taste in music.
17. Like Wilco.
18. I’ve worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for four years writing about small school reform.
19. I recently learned how to add color to my posts.
20. I’m currently drinking white wine because it has fewer carbs than beer.
21. And it’s hell.
22. And I hate it.
23. But not as much as I hate milk.
24. I have choreographed and performed with an Adult Irish step dancing group. And we're on You Tube. And like my friend Randy says, "They just don't let anybody on there."
25. After high school I hitchhiked across the country with my best friend. We were on the road for a month. It was the greatest time of my life.
26. When I was 19, I was arrested for “park curfew” and “unauthorized use of a city swimming pool". In layman’s terms that means skinny-dipping.
27. Ya see, I really am a Hippie for Obama.
28. A wine-drinking Hippie for Obama.
29. But hopefully not for long. The wine-drinking, that is.
