This is my first post here. I thought I'd post here as a way of introducing myself, so here goes...
- I once won second place on an Olivia Halloween Cruise for my all-time favorite costume: "The little Dutch Boy who Stuck his Finger in the Dyke." The audience roared, and had they been the ones to vote, I'd have definitely taken first. The judges went for cute, half-naked femme over funny butch. (hell, I'd have voted for her too)
- I was 6 feet tall as a freshman in high school after having shot up 6 inches in a year and a half -- so fast my bones hurt. Although I love my height, I don't think of myself as tall and am still somewhat surprised when people mention my height.
- I always have salsa in the fridge and think that you can never have too much cilantro. Ever.
- I usually think that I can do anything, whether or not I've actually ever done it before. I once talked my way into a job cooking for one of the top 10 restaurants in Boston, having never actually cooked in a restaurant in my life. It was an amazing experience (and a funny story, ask me about it sometime).
- I'm extraordinarily lucky to have such an amazing family. Especially my Mom, who is an incredible loving and giving woman. I hear other's stories and honestly don't know how I got to be so fortunate, but thank the Universe often.
I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends here. Thanks for creating such a great community.
