Tagged! More stuff about me to make your eyes glaze over

I sit here in front of my computer this morning with one thought in my brain. Why oh WHY do they schedule those mind-suckingly boring public meetings after Barney? As soon as Barney ends, we're not given even a second of time to hop on over to the remote before a plethora of old folks in grey outfits and monotone voices start speaking about the California Field Act, or some other such important, but un-child-friendly material. The shock usually causes my son to start screaming, "Barney! Barney!" whilst running in panicked little circles.

But I digress...

My girl Lea. Lea's not a girl anymore. She's a woman! Oh no, now I'm starting to sound like one of those Godawful songs from the sixties: "Girl. You'll be a wooman sooon", or "Young girl, get out of my mind! My love for you is way out of line! Better ruuun girl! You're much too young, girl!". Shudder.

Anyway, she tagged me over at Lea's Blogging Life with Ten Things You Never Really Wanted to Know About Me. It was within this tag that I learned a stunning new factoid about Lea. She was a cheerleader. That alone would be shocking enough and reason for pause. But we're not talking high school here. We're talking college. We're talking Pac 10. I saw a picture of her in all her perky glory— ripped, gorgeous and glowing with health and thought, hmm... well, there you go. Maybe cheerleaders are real people too. Dang it, I'm going to have to cross another group off of my list of "People I Like to Judge". Cheerleaders were sitting between Charo and Chevy Lowrider Drivers. Now that cheerleaders are off the list, Charo has assumed her rightful position on top of Chevy Lowrider Drivers. And it's all because Lea's good people.

I've been tagged a few times and I don't think there are any more things to reveal that you didn't want to know about me. That I want you to know. But I'll go for it. For Lea. But only five things. Because I can't think of any more.

1) When we used to go clubbing in San Francisco I'd often use the men's bathroom because the lines to the women's were way too long and I have a bladder the size of a pea.

2) I worked at Wendy's when I was in high school. Somewhere there's a photo of me wearing a hamburger hat.

3) I love New Age music, especially the kind that features piano music, like David Lanz and Randall Leonard. I like virtually all genres of music, but New Age is the only one that consistently provides me with an odd feeling of Déjà Vu.

4) I once ate a piece of Mealtime dog food on a dare and was called "Mealtime" for the rest of the year by the friend who presented me with the dare.

5) I accosted Danny DeVito with a drunken hug at Coachella 2005. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
