10 things...
10 things you probably haven’t done meme. It’s not like I haven’t mentioned most of these on my LJ anyway. Longtime readers, feel free to yawn.
1. Was the youngest person in my hunter safety class and got the best score on the written test.
2. Got suspended from high school for "willful defiance of authority".
3. Won two gold medals at the Junior Nationals for my sport.
4. Played in a Grateful Dead cover band.
5. Chained shut the administration building at my college in an anti-apartheid demonstration. Even though there was a picture taken of me doing it printed in the student newspaper, they somehow couldn’t identify me.
6. Completed a Scared Straight program as part of a felony diversion.
7. Did "security" for Cesar Chavez then drank beer and ate fries with him.
8. Got arrested for protesting at the 1984 Democratic Convention while chanting "No War! No KKK! No fascist USA!"
9. Went on a date with the daughter of a member of Jefferson Starship.
10. Got recruited and paid to speak on a national panel discussion about cheese. More than once even!
Bonus:
11. Played organized pee-wee football for four years before high school. C’mon other football players, out yourself! (in most places in this country this would be expected of me. But here I think it’s unusual)

the dead and getting dumped
i worked in this cafe briefly in SF - i forget which neighborhood - kinda off of lower haight. one of my co-workers (who i really did like) was SUPER into the dead. and seriously broke up with this dude b/c he dissed jerry. she went _off_ telling me the story at work, not really angry, just into the story and matter of fact. ** her argument ** (way summarized) was, you may not like the dead, but how can you diss a musician who's been touring for 30 years straight. you gotta respect that, she said. so, clearly, the dude had to go. that was just it.
/shrug/ better than the last reason i got for getting dumped. which actually i'm not even sure what the reason was, since she claimed to really like me and really be attracted to me. whatever. at least danielle woulda given it to me direct.

I was just thinking about a few of their songs that I miss. I should reacquire them. They were just fun songs to sing along to. Even if I was hitting the notes more often than they were.
