Double Dog Dare Ya

List ten things you’ve done that other people haven’t done:

1. Made out with the certifiably gay boyfriend of the guy who owns Birmingham’s #1 gay club.
2. Had my name tattooed on the arm of musician who later filled it in with black and then wrote a song about me.
3. Had a face-to-face conversation with Shawn Yseult, bassist for White Zombie, and her boyfriend.
4. Vomited so much that I tore my esophagus, experienced arrhythmia, and developed a bleeding ulcer.
5. Been pen-pals with the son of a US journalist who was residing in La Celle, St. Cloud, France.
6. Had my jaw dislocated so long that it seized up, causing me to be on a liquid diet for two months.
7. Dated or been otherwise involved with the sons and daughters of no less than four different Birmingham judges.
8. Been expelled and permanently barred from St. Clair County alternative school.
9. Survived a broken neck with few ill effects other than a limited range of motion.
10. Learned how to write with my toes (albeit, rudimentarily), after having a finger cut off and surgically reattached.
