I played Mrs. Montague in The Haunting of Hillhouse.

I once played guitar in a Styx cover band, which then became a Foreigner cover band, and then was kicked out when i wasn't good enough to be in the band when it became a Journey cover band... Which broke up after one show.

I was in a cover band that broke up after one show too - our lead guitarist moved to Alberta.

All of my friends think I have a huge ego - I'm still trying to figure out if I do or if I'm just being funny.

Ditto! This is a major issue for me, I can't even be in ear shot when someone is brushing their teeth, or doing their nails.

When I get extremely angry, I dont get loud. I generally either get very quite, or start crying.
I have found it physically impossible for me to speak when Im extremely angry. I cant form sentences, or really convey any kind of coherent expression when Im that angry. It is just physically impossible for me to verbally communicate when Im like that.
Ive been that way almost my whole life.

And as a side note to that, Ive never met anyone who was like that. Im sure there are more out there like that, I jsut have never run across them.

For some reason whenever someone is talking about something serious in a group setting my eyes water... It can be quite awkward during small group. We will be talking about the pressure to drink/ do drugs or something and it will look like I'm crying. soooo not cool...

Chewing a banana with their mouth open is the most vile activity a person can perform with a fruit.

I pace back and forth. And I apparently pace in circles when I'm in my room cause my patch cord is always twisted.

Fortunately nobody really notices pacing I don't think. I probably just look really nervous.

i can't talk and play harp at the same time. I either end up saying ridiculous things or messing up the music.

If I could learn another instrument, it would totally be the hammered dulcimer.

I have 1,857 unread e-mails because usually if i get a newsletter or e-mails from facebook, i just ignore them. And they add up. And I'm terrible about cleaning out my inbox.

I used to be abysmal with both directions (north south east west) and riddles, however as I get older i find I'm getting a lot better at both.

I cannot walk in a straight line when totally sober. If you're walking with me, I will probably walk at an angle until you are walking in the ditch.

I've really struggled with that while playing the guitar, in terms of being able to direct people lyrically while singing. I feel you there.

From about ages 3 to 7, I did acting for some TV ads and ended up in the first two episodes of season eight of an Australian TV series called Blue Heelers (anyone know the show?). The funniest thing is that I was only in a two-part episode yet I made the cover for that season! What isn't funny is that I haven't received any payment for using my face to publicize their things.

Sorry I can't get a better pic, but I Google-searched the DVD cover and this is that biggest pic I could find so far. If you look carefully at the small square-shaped scenes on the box, I'm the little guy in the red t-shirt.
