A Good Enough Reason to Blog

well, it's been a long time. like a really long time.

i'm bored and Liz tagged us so here is a post:

Five Things About Me That You Might Not Already Know

1) i love liver. liver is so good. oh man. you wouldn't understand. i love liver so much that i order it at restaurants when i get a chance. yum.

2) the first time i ever went trick-or-treating i was 20. when i was younger we didn't celebrate halloween. i really didn't care at the time except that all my friends got to do it. all i got to do was sit in the house quietly with the lights off and do absolutely nothing for 6 hours. we didn't even hand out candy. if anybody knocked on the door, we would either ignore it or tell them we were out of candy. i don't think people bought it when they knocked at like 4pm. they just thought we were a-holes. it was alright not going out because in tumbler ridge at halloween it is generally really cold and/or snowy so i got to be warm, and my friends, because they knew i didn't get to go trick-or-treating, would take an extra bag and ask for more candy for their poor sheltered friend. i've been trick-or-treating once. i was a pimp.

3) i'm a published musician. i don't know if that's the right way to say it. anyways, i wrote and recorded 9 songs in bible school and 3 later on that were made available for a limited time on cd. the original "pressing" became 1/5000th platinum in the first month of sales according to CRIA standards. the cds were recorded with my band, The Asian Liberation Federation. i wrote or co-wrote all of the songs as well as sang and played guitar, bass and drums on all tracks (with the exception of bass on one track). the debut album is entitled "Spoon" and the later recording was an EP called "Lost Tracks". they are no longer available in their original form, however a special edition "Spoon+1" was released and can be made available upon request. the band has no current plans for a reunion tour, so everyone can stop asking.

Hi! It's ME!!

4) I have an intense phone phobia. I hate calling people. I love to talk, but i hate calling people. I'm a receptionist.

5) I'm allergic to everything. Dust, pollen, ragweed, grass, cats, dogs (i have 2), rabbits, horses, cows, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, "hypoallergenic" animals (go figure), perfume, soap, lotion, shaving cream (i do still shave my legs), anything with a specific smell (i do still use deodorant), fiberglass, and a lot of other things i can't think of right now. When we played Scattergories last week, one of the categories was Allergies. The letter was E. As in EVERYTHING.

We will tag..............
