My friend
wabi is really cool. I've known him for 10 years (!) and now he's finally on livejournal. He also does really cool photography. Go look at him.
He also did this neat thing called
11 Things You Might Not Know About Me
1. At around age 13, I was really, REALLY into both Bon Jovi and The Phantom of the Opera.
2. I am allergic to both penicillin and sulfa drugs.
3. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist (visual) when I grew up.
4. I wear a size 12 shoe.
5. I was voted Best Vocalist of my senior high school class.
6. My mother, also a singer, sang "God Bless America" at my kindergarten graduation.
7. Up until about fourth grade, I can barely recall opening my mouth in school once.
8. My father's said I look like Goldie Hawn.
tafkar says Nicole Kidman.
wabi once told me Uma Thurman reminded him of me. (I think they're all nuts.)
9. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 10.
10. Before Emerson, I was applying to MFA programs in theatre directing.
11. I was born by emergency C-section and both my mother and I are lucky we're here.
Interestingly enough, none of them are about sex. What does that say about the usual content of my journal...?

Date: 2003-05-01 07:35 am (UTC)Quick memory test, regarding fact #1: Bon Jovi: "Ooh, I'm sorry, did you want to me to leave? I didn't mean to interrupt anything. I'll just let myself out, terribly sorry about this ...".
I don't think I knew numbers 6 through 9, but I did know all the rest of them.

Re:
Date: 2003-05-01 10:45 am (UTC)You had a poster in your bedroom of Jon Bon Jovi. He was standing there with his "I am a sensitive and sexy teen idol" expression on his face. Whenever we'd be doing friendlythings in your room, Jon would be standing there looking at us with that wide-eyed, lips apart look, as if he was saying: "Hey, I can leave, if you two want to be alone. No sense in me hanging around here. You guys just say the word, and I'll go..."
Not a DIRTEE story, just mildly humorous.

Date: 2003-05-01 08:00 am (UTC)and i know this quite well from personal experience :-)
...Uma Thurman reminded him of me
not in person, but depending on what pic of you one is looking at (the one associated with this post is a good example), the resemblence is there.
9. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 10.
i was pretty late on this, so you're not alone. of course, by now (after doing it for over 25 years), i'm better on the bike than a bunch of people are on their feet :-)
...and both my mother and I are lucky we're here
and we're happy that you are...

Date: 2003-05-01 01:35 pm (UTC)1. I knew this one....remember, I've seen the Drawer of Shame.
2. Didn't know this, but may be useful at some time.
3. Knew this one.
4. Didn't exactly know this one, but could have guessed.
5. Of course.
8. I don't remember saying this at all...but it was definitely a complement. I LOVE Uma.

Date: 2003-05-01 01:55 pm (UTC)What actually transpired, I believe, was that you told me sometime in college (could this have been pre-Pulp Fiction?) that I reminded you of June in Henry and June. I later found out that she was portrayed by Uma Thurman and was incredibly flattered long after the fact. :)

Date: 2003-05-01 02:27 pm (UTC)I don't remember when I learned, but it was yeeeears after all of my friends did. I was probably 9 or 10, too.
Fun meme! Nicely stolen.
