I have a birthmark in the shape of a mouse on my inner right thigh. When I was a child I thought this meant I'd grow up to be King of the Mice, and rule over the little rodents.

I was the only female to audition for the role of Professor Willard for the play OUR TOWN. I got the part!!! It was for High School and we performed it for 5 nights. It was great. I was in this old black school marm dress, grey hair, with runs in my black stockings, rolled around around my ankles.

See you soon,

before i was even a teen someone once pulled a knife on me, i totally freaked and in panic mode tried to grab it slicing open my finger.

1 do a fierce impression of a guinea pig (just the sound, nothing else)

I was once pulled over (well, kinda.. I was on foot, they were in a car) by police... because I was wearing a cloak. "Yes officer?" "Uhm... you're wearing a cloak." "Uh huh...?" "Uuhhhh.. never mind."

I picked up a straight guy AND a gay guy on the plane trip to Sydney for the 2002 Gay Games...

Oh, and I'm incredibly organized.. just also incredibly messy.

Way to be SED, I`ll try to catch that . Congrats.


I was an extra in "The Outsiders" and was on set with Francis Ford Copolla and his pistol packing cameramen.

Hey EDB,

I remember The Outsiders. Do you remember a cast member named Darren Dalton? He got to play a quazi main role. Anyways, my sister and I competed in many drama tournaments together back in High School. One of which was in Portales, NM. There were other schools from NM. Jenny and I represented Alamogordo. Darren was there in a play I believe called The American Dream (he was probably 17). My sister was the director and sound person for Sweeney Todd. I was the "knockers" (sound girl) of The Keep. I say knockers because the Keep was actually a clock in a prison cell. I was back stage with 2 big sticks making the sound.

Hats off to my sister for her sound making in Sweeney Todd. In order for her to recreate the sound of bodies falling (splat), she was backstage, literally dropping to the floor herself...several times. It worked.

Oh yeah, I'm great at chess.

Peace and good thoughts,
L'Orgasm

I don`t remember him offhand, but I would probably recognize him.
I`ll try to look him up in the credits...they came out with a new version of the movie a couple years ago with more scenes and whole new soundtrack...much better I think...They got rid of the Godfather violin licks and put in a lot of classic rock.


I hung out and partied in a bus all night til the shoot about 5AM.
The casting directors supplied everything...and I mean EVERYTHING.
They wanted our bunch to look like we`d been up all night partying and they were taking the Stanislovsky method to it`s extremes.

I got to chat with several future super-stars that night...Ralph Machio, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Schwazee...they seemed to be fairly regular people...a cool memory.

Wow! That is an awesome experience. I never had the oppurtunity to be cast in a movie myself, but one time at band camp........

Shasta is a great climb. I've been up it three times, once by the light of the full moon--got totally lost in woods and took all night to get back to Bunny Flats. I followed ski trails and noticed cougar prints in the snow beneath my sore feet. Another time I did it with Erik, my blind friend, and again with a kid who I was guiding. Olympus is another great hike and climb, less extreme but far more varied.

Spent a summer in Yosemite climbing with Erik. We did El Cap over three days. There's a story.

You must be near Portland. I'm going there in July. Wanna get a beer?

Well, y'all come back! I thought maybe this place could use a regional burn. We could call it Burndango.

Not set on going to BM this year, though I certainly have the time. Keep working on me and I might cave.

I always get boner when I do that. It's embarrasing.

I guess that brings this thread back on topic, doesn't it?
