MOST UNUSUAL JOB: I was a Reader of Text Books onto cassette tapes for students with learning disabilities. (Something you get paid for, but feel even better about, because you’re helping others).

MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THIS ABOUT ME: I was a club kid growing up; wearing fat pants and hanging out at Zero Gravity, The Paladrome and other late night kiddy clubs!

MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT WAS: When some stupid girl in high school had our Dean announce my Secret Crush to our entire lunch room on Sweetest Day to see if he would come up and buy me a flower! His whole table was like “Ewww!” He didn’t buy the flower and I spent the remaining 15 minutes of lunch in the girls bathroom.
