I must really be loved today. I woke up to two emails telling me that I have been memed. (Thank you Carole and Chris) I remembering reading the first couple posts on this and saying, "I really hope that I do not get picked." Well, I got picked twice in day of all things. So, I guess I have to share 5 things about me, so I do not get cursed or whatever the punishment is for breaking the new form of a chain letter.
Well, in the words of "Adam and the Ants:"
Goody two goody two goody goody two shoes
Goody two goody two goody goody two shoes
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do

Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something he's hiding
What am I hiding?
- In high school, I sang bass for the choir and the advanced ensembles. This led me to different roles for the Spring musicals that we put on. My most notable character was the antagonist, Harry Beaton, in the musical Brigadoon. I went done in high school history of having the most memorable death scene. (I had to fall from 6 feet up on a paper mache rock and make it sound like I really hit it. Well, I really did hit it. Broker the rock, too) After the play was done, we did meet and great with the audience. One of them was a doctor, who said that he was about to ruch up on stage to make sure I was ok. Despite a minor headache, I was perfectly fine.
- Let's stick with high school... I graduated 6th in my class and only 0.1% behind the validictorian in GPA. It was a race to the end. I was the only one in my class (at least in the top 10%) that held an after school job. Had I not decided to start work at a young age, I probably would have been the top of my class. But, I learned life before my classmates did.
- I almost forgot, this one goes back to number 1. I got to play Carnegie Hall. Our elite choir was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall my senior year of high school. That was a real treat. While we were up there, we got to see "Phantom of the Opera" on broadway. After the show, we got to meet the "Phantom" who was willing to autograph a phantom mask for me. Too bad it was not Michael Crawford... that would really be worth something.
- I have a prefectly clean driving record. That is right not even a speeding ticket. And no, I do not have a radar/laser detector to tell me when there is a cop.
- In college, I took a ceramics pottery class. For some reason, my university required 3 credit hours in a fine arts class. Since I had enough of choir from high school, I decided to try out pottery. For anyone that saw the movie "Showtime" with Robert DeNiro, that was me. I could not sculpt a thing to save my life, but it was good therapy.
There, now you 5 incriminating things on me that you normally would not have known. Please refrain from any smart remarks, or I will get you back on your own meme. And by the way, my singing days are long in the past, so don't even ask.
Now for the next 3 victims... Rebekah Peters, Alexander Harb (you can blame Marc Blasi for this one), and Jeff Belonger (not sure if someone has already chosen you, yet)
