5 things for me it seems. Things people dont know about me. #1 - I am fairly open about everything. I dont necessarily tell people in my life everything, but if someone asks, I will never lie about it. Being transgendered taught me to not be afraid of who am, but to be careful to whoever I tell it too. #2 - I technically have a Bacon number of 2 though Im uncredited in the movie that gets me there and Im not 100% sure the person who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon, who was at the event but may not have made it into the actual documentary. Without that last part I only have a Bacon number of 3. Incidentally, Ive been in at least two documentaries and one only got a trailer which I am not in(It was about a good friend of mine). #3 - I am very introverted, even to the point of it being extremely detrimental to my life. However, I have learned a technique to overcome and it feels a lot like putting on a mask and becoming someone who is not introverted. Its like acting only Im playing someone whos playing me. #4 - When I was very young, I stole things. Often it was small things, like makeup or such. I obviously couldnt buy those things in a small down without someone looking down on me. I didnt like it. There were no thrills about it. It was purely a survival thing, but I did that and now I feel incredibly guilty about it all. #5 - I talked a person down from a ledge in Switzerland once. She was a good friend I had made on the internet. She was special. She had lived a hard but interesting life. Her name was Donna Lee Parsons. She was the one that put me in the place I was that let me be a part of #2, be it ever so small. She was also known as Dave Daze Parsons and she owned a small record shop and fanzine called Ratcage Records back in the day. She also created the Ratcage Records album label and she was the first to get the Beastie Boys to do a record under her label. She went to switzerland for awhile and was the Chaplin estates Charlie Chaplin for awhile. She eventually was diagnosed with cancer and she would often lament to how awful the chemo made her feel. Somewhere about two or three chemo sessions before the end, I got a call from a mutual friend from sweden who was sstaying with her and she was on the ledge ready to jump. An hour or so later, I had convinced her to have a lie down. She beat that cancer initially but it proved more resiliant than anyone had hoped. When it came back she decided she would live her life as best she could but would forego the chemo and try to live to the fullest while she could. I lost track of her in 2001 or 2002. Her death was hard on me for someone whom I mostly argued with on the internet. =) Anyway, I suppose that will do. I couldnt bear to just give 5 superficial things... Partly because I couldnt think of 5 purely superficial things people dont know about me. =P Like at your own risk. One you will be visited by the ghost of this post future.
