Johnny has tagged me with an internet meme: Five things my readers may not know about me.
1.) When I was small I used to imagine my food turning into little cartoon character vegetables holding trays of whatever veggies they were; The food would join a big party and maybe do a few choreographed numbers in my stomach.
2.) Panels from one of my earliest zines are in the book From Girls to Grrlz : A History of Women’s Comics from Teens to Zines .
3.) When I was in college I dated this guy while his girlfriend was in Spain for a quarter. He claimed to be a former hit man for the South American mafia. He came to Seattle for a fresh start and would only tell me a few ‘hit man’ type stories–not too many…he didn’t want to scare me.
4.) I was a regular guest for Dan Savage back when he had a weekly 2-hour call-in show called Savage Love Live on Seattle’s KCMU (now KEXP).
5.) I was a catalog model for a seamstress who specialized in old-fashion underwear worn in the annual Frontier Days in Wyoming.
As I look at these, I figure a lot of people may actually know these stories…so perhaps I’m cheating and they don’t really count. (Except for number one, I know I haven’t told anyone about the dancing vegetables).
I’m tagging Erin, Kimberly, Samuel P., Clay, and Jeff.

I’ve been to Frontier Days a handful of times and I’m quite glad I don’t remember you in underwear as part of the experience.

So you’re saying the idea of me in underwear is hideous to you? Or that I’m related to your fiance and that would be weird…

“Future sister-in-law” and “underwear” are not supposed to come into the same story unless it’s after I’ve left the bachelorette party and you are shaking it up on the bar.
