Okay...Ten Random Things...

1. I have been radioactive. I wouldn’t recommend it. As part of my cancer treatment I had to drink radioactive iodine and stay in a paper lined hospital room until the Geiger counter said I was safe to go home.

2. In college I went on a date with Adam Sandler. The next day his roommate told me that Adam would not be asking me out again because, "I didn’t put out.” Thank God right?

3. I can think of about one hundred cities that I would prefer to live in. I am trying to make the most of it here in LA.

4. I am deathly afraid of driving. (Part of why I would like to live somewhere other than Los Angeles). I have been in several accidents. In the last one, I was literally hit by a shit truck. The septic tanker hit the passenger side of my car and totaled it. I was fine, but now have scars on my wrist that look like they came from a botched suicide attempt.

5. When I was getting ready to go to high school, I begged my parents to send me to an all girls’ Catholic school MILES away from my house. It was not that I was religious. There was a local bully in my neighborhood. She told someone to tell me that if I attended the excellent public school near my house (where she went)- she would kill me. Murder me. I had never met this girl, but she “didn’t like the looks of me.” I was too terrified to argue. I think my parents were happy that I requested a catholic school.

6. When I was fifteen I met Andy Warhol on the streets of New York. He was hard to miss. He gave me a copy of “Interview” Magazine. He was on his way to his publisher. When I got home I noticed that he had written notes throughout it. I guess they were edits that he wanted. I really wish I had kept that magazine. It would have paid for this adoption and probably six more.


7. I had scoliosis as a girl, and was terrified that I would have to wear a brace like Judy Blume’s Deenie.


8. When my mom and I get together we like to make an enormous bowl of popcorn and watch the movie Tootsie.

9. I had a small part on Guiding Light once. I played a birth mother who gives her baby up right after delivering. It was a flashback and the producers decided my voice didn’t sound enough like the person’s I was flashing back, so they dubbed it. It ended up looking like a really bad Kung-Fu movie.


10. I love ginger; ginger ale, ginger scones, ginger candy, ginger tea. Ginger is one of life’s gifts.
