Here are twenty facts just in case someone tagged me and I wasn't paying attention:

1. I dont remember the year 1997.
2. I got hit by a car going about 45 MPH and walked away without a scratch or broken bone.
3. I used to be fatter than I am now, but it was just so that I could make fat jokes in my act.
4. That reminds me, I did stand up back in the 90s. I was also in a sketch comedy troupe that was remotely successful enough for us to tour. We broke up when three of us got arrested for peeing on a statue in Tulsa and could only afford to bail out two people.
5. Ive only been streaking in a group once. It was with my roommates girlfriend and was as a distraction so that he could slip the girl he was cheating with out while we were gone.
6. I once dressed like Kamala the Ugandan Giant for a sketch.



7. I believe that nudity is a staple of comedy. It is also as my old Screenwriting Professor used to say 'the cheapest special effect you can add to a movie.' He also used to say, 'There are few things as funny as a naked fat man.' which explains so much.
8. I have been trying to quit smoking for like five years.
9. I own a cell phone and a blackberry.
10. I woke up one morning with a trophy and no clue how I got it.
11. I once worked three jobs at once. I worked in a record store, the front desk of a dorm overnight and in the colleges stagecraft shop.
12. I got dropkicked off of a bed when I was eight and bounced off of a wall.
13. I used to throw like a girl and probably still do.
14. I left home when I was 18 with only $300 and a bus ticket to California, ended up missing my connection in Phoenix and just stayed there for two years.
15. When I was young I got tested and it turned out that I have a genius level IQ. So for the first part of my life I was this hard working genius type who liked science and was going to be an engineer but then I got mono and was out of school for a month and just quit trying very hard at anything.
16. My favorite literary character is Iago from Othello.
17. I got kicked out of Arizona State University for selling fake IDs
18. The first play that I ever directed was Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean.
19. I auditioned for the touring company of Rent and made it past the second round.
20. I am deftly afraid of water and drowning. Thats because I almost drowned when they were trying to teach me to swim.

I sort of already tagged Gadget before posting these, who unexpectedly posted her list before I did because she's a winner.
