Tag, I'm It

Boy, I've never been tagged, or memed, before but my oh so kind sister did this a few weeks back and I've ignored it for too long.  Basically I'm supposed to say 5 Fun Facts about myself and then I need to meme 5 funny friends. This is like one of those annoying chain letters but I guess I'll play along.  Here's some fun facts:

1) I was the lead singer in several punk/pop/rock bands.  Yes, from approximately 1990-2005 I was the lead singer in many bands with my friend Jamie.  First it was Token White Boy in Newark, Delaware.  Then a few years later I ended up in San Francisco and Jamie and I hooked up with Kim, Ilhan and Tedd (may he rest in peace) to form Yusakuta.  We rocked around the Bay for about 5 years, then broke up and the ladies of the band became Hazy with Jamie's brother and party animal Chris.  

2) My Poop on the Potty Song on YouTube has almost 10,00o hits!  Even more if you click on it now!

3) I am currently the horoscope writer for Shojo Beat magazine.  In my column I get to recommend cute products to shop for and cool music to listen to.  My audience is ages 15 to 25 - perfect for my immature writing style!

4) I have been a university instructor a few times.  I supervised speech-language pathology graduate students doing their on-site practicums.  It sounds more prestigious than it actually was.

5) I suffer from overideaization.  I think I made that term up but it can be defined as a problem of having way too many ideas for creative projects but never actually doing most of them. Recent ideas have included writing a musical, writing a teen novel, writing an erotica novel, going back to school for my PhD, starting a new band, starting my own t-shirt company, moving abroad - the list goes on.  Anyone who knows of help for this psychosis please write in.

Okay - my turn!  The following people are it!

1) Jamie of Where Should We Live? Jamie is my BFF and even though she thinks we're growing apart, she'll never be rid of me.  Mwahhaha!

2) Kim of My Unheard Music. Kim is a close friend and former band mate.  

3) Debbie of Team Lenert.  Wow - imagine that, another former band mate, dating back to 1990.  See? Making music together bonds you for life.

4) Kerri of Mom Vs. So Not the Mom.  Kerri is my newest friend in the Midwest, and fortunately for me, she lives right next store! Now is that fate or what?

5) Marilyn of Xander Loves Keyser Soze.  Marilyn is my cousin by marriage and she's the coolest.  She's also the proud new momma of her second child, baby Milla.

Get busy, ladies!
