ThePhanastasio

1.) I accidentally broke into backstage at a Phish show once. I was not arrested.
2.) My most traumatic experience was having a gun pulled on me at the mall when I lived in North Carolina. I was 12. The gentleman with the gun couldn't have been more than 14. Gang activity was pretty heavy there.
3.) I can juggle, ride a unicycle, walk on stilts, and make awesome balloon animals. Probably because I wanted to be a clown for a period of time.
4.) I was supposed to play softball for a division 1 school, but completely ruined my entire college experience and never made it to the spring semester.
5.) I smoke and drink entirely too much.
6.) I've not been in a committed relationship since 2008 because I was completely traumatized by a bad relationship.
7.) I play guitar (poorly) for at least five hours a day.
8.) I played French Horn in school, and was consistently first chair. I probably need to buy one of my own, because I miss playing it.
9.) I've been involved with dozens of plays as a performer, director, and playwright.
10.) I fully intend to move to the northeast. New Hampshire, Vermont, or Connecticut are the places I'm mainly looking into.
11.) I have horrible vision, but I never wear my glasses.
12.) I have a talent for jumping fences.
13.) I once started training for Parkour, but I kept injuring myself.
14.) I've played drums in several bands, but I've never actually owned my own drumset.
15.) I gave Eric Bischoff directions to the arena for a TNA event. He hugged me through the car window. Turns out, he's a nice dude.
16.) My hands are tiny. I can (and in high school, did) wear a youth small batting glove. They were recommended for ages 6-8.
17.) I've decided to go without alcohol and cut down my smoking for a few weeks to save more money for the Trey Anastasio concert at the end of this month. I'm already suffering.
18.) I registered to take the Jeopardy online test this time around. My strangely encyclopedic knowledge of seemingly useless facts should be beneficial in this pursuit.
19.) When I was in high school, my family got picked up to be on a reality show pilot by VH1, but my mother got cold feet and made me call them and decline.
20.) I won my high school's talent show by painting on a fake mustache, tying my hair back, and lip synching Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". My friends pantomimed playing instruments behind me for the event.
21.) I used to be an enormous diva in theatre. I'm embarrassed looking back on it.
22.) I think that the stink bugs which have infested my region this year look kind of like shovels.
23.) My love for my BlackBerry is verging on unhealthy.
24.) <-- This number freaks me out a little bit. Everything unlucky that has happened to me has been related to it, it seems. It's like my own personal #13.
25.) I freaking love tornadoes.
