Things you didn't know about me...

I came in fifth in the Northern New Jersey semi-final for the 1984 National Spelling Bee. I still have the plaque, and to this day, my mother thinks I should be listing that on my resume. (I'm like "Mom, I was fourteen years old. No one cares."

)

I have been present as a background/extra during the filming of two movies: "Class of Nuke'Em High" and "Ghostbusters II," but to the best of my knowledge I don't actually appear onscreen in either one.

18 years ago I made counterfeit money using a color scanner and a color printer. A buddy of mine took some and tried to use it and got caught. I ended up having a conversation with the treasury department.

I didnt have sex (with another person) untill I was 23. I had plenty of sex-with Hustler magazines. But I would cheat-with cheap whores like CHIC and some old 60's underground s**t my dad hid in the basement.
I'm not circumcised. I still wear a hoodie. I hope some racist dumb ass don't shoot me when I'm drunk and p**sing on a light post.

Im often most comfortable at a yard sale or thrift store. I resell a lot of stuff I buy there.

I hate pantyhose, luckily I dont wear them. I seriously have issues even touching them.

I collect gothic romance novels from the 60s and 70s.

I do it for a couple of reasons. First, they remind me of my mom, because she used to read those things by the boxload. Second, I have always thought the covers were both cool and stupid at the same time. As a kid, I always thought they were horror novels because of the covers. Now, I just think it is funny how almost every gothic romance cover had the same elements: a woman running towards the reader, and a house/mansion/castle/lighthouse in the background with only one light on.

I worked as a car salesman for about 2 months back in the 1980s. For this, I apologize to the world.

I'm afraid of giant great white sharks! --- I mean the REALLY big ones...

Yeah, kind of like those old covers for the Eerie Publications pulp rage like Weird, Tales From The Tomb and Classic Horror Tales. Only in those cases, the women usually had reason to run towards the castle or mansion and not towards the reader, because they were being chased by some monster, lol

I would probably collect those except those things are expensive. Hell, most people want to get rid of the gothic romance novels. And, I almost hate to admit it, the damn things are actually fun to read. As stupid as a bag of hammers, but fun.

Occasionally I give in to my feminine side and dress up like this:

I don't actually mind what I see in the mirror.

Trev, if you looked like that when you dressed up, I wouldn't mind seeing you.

I did telemarketing for a couple of months, though I only called up businesses. "Hi, can I speak to the person in your purchasing department who's in charge of outside contracting?"

I was absolutely terrible at it.

Oh YUCK! I hate pantyhose too. I don't know how women can wear them!

I haven't bought garments that were actually new (aside from underwear & socks) in 2 years.

I'm a kleptomaniac.
