"Name Five Things" Meme

jessy from happyveganface tagged me with the following meme (it's a good thing too, because I've been lagging with this blog lately):

Name five things about yourself that others may not know.

Mewkay...

1. I used to be an actress. I've performed at The Lyceum, The San Diego Civic Center, and the Poway Center for the Performing Arts.
2. I met my husband in the middle of a mosh pit at a Cannibal Corpse show.
3. I've published articles in the San Diego Union Tribune.
4. Over the course of about five years, I talked my way out of over 15 tickets (mostly speeding). That was many moons ago. I don't drive like an asshole anymore but I'm still pretty persuasive when I want to be.
5. I'm terrified of using the bathroom on a plane. I refuse to do it. This fear made my flight to and from Amsterdam (from LAX) very ... interesting.
