- like those molsen ads say - je suis canadienne. i talk a lot. i have no inner monologue. i am short (4'9 3/4" without shoes), loud, and tons o' fun. i was born in montreal, so some might say i am quebecoise. i broke my left arm in 3rd grade when some kid skateboarding on the ice crashed into me when i was biking on the icy sidewalk. this was during the time when we were learning cursive writing in my canadian roman catholic elementary school. this may not mean anything to you, but it did to me because i am a southpaw. i feel like this moment also affected me in that i don't know how to drive partly due to my subconscious fear of operating a vehicle. compounding this fear, i also have a lousy sense of direction.
i'm also an organizational freak which helps because i move around a lot. i moved from T.O. (T dot to the natives, and if you don't know what that means, then too bad) to HK to manila to ev, il where i majored in film at northwestern university. my freshman year, i took a class called "anal perf." my sophomore year i learned how to load film and can download and load an arri SRII mag in 2 minutes 26 seconds. my junior year i co-chaired a film festival and spilled water on john waters. the summer after my junior year, i was a vendor (and in the union) at wrigley field and made many a beer vending friend. my senior year i produced a film "the trailers" for which i won a student emmy. i moved to LA to work under the table on some sit-com and then fearing deportation i moved back to T.O., only after moving back to chicago to teach film for a summer. i miss the in and out burger i lived near in LA. After T.O. i went back to chicago, bouncing from couch to couch (and that really hurt since bouncing is tough as i am REALLY well endowed) where i began working for a grant project photographing buddhist cave art in the gobi desert. which brings us to the present.
i am secretly a wannabe science geek. i like boys that are into physics (but definitely not chemists!) and i like math too. numbers do not faze me. using only mathematical punctuation I can make 2 twos equal 5: square root of ((.2)^-2)=5. inane entertainment trivia turns me on. and people who can multiply 5+ digit numbers together in their head. my biggest pet peeve? people who speak with fake british accents or fake british inflections. my greatest love? people who speak with real irish accents and say the word "thirty" at my behest. my greatest fear? getting pelted with tomatoes.
i should also add that my cell phone ring used to be chickens. that's right, if you hung with me and someone called, you would hear chickens - going "bok bok bok," much like a commercial i saw in canada growing up - it was for pizza pizza and they were introducing a new chicken pizza and these chickens were singing tchaikovsky's war of 1812 and pizzas were being launched out of a cannon. pure genius. right now my ring is usually dracula mountain by lightning bolt. sometimes i miss those chickens. maybe i should reinstate them to protest fear of eating chicken because of avian flu.
i am prepping for a book i am writing about burgers right now to combat fear of eating beef due to mad cow, after all... i really like eating meat. i also am not much for candy. i'm more savory than sweet, but i like reese's and smarties and hate m&ms. generally peanut butter and chocolate combinations please me to no end, but those inside out reese's peanut butter cups? they're a wee bit strange. oh! dave anderson turned me on to pirate's booty. that's a delectable snack. argh! i haven't been able to keep much down lately, i hope to eat something tonight.
THE MOST SURREAL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE is as follows... while hanging in a mongolian yurt in akesai, eating our mutton-pops and various pieces of fried fry and drinking our goat cheese tea, our lovely hosts break out this tape player. not a boombox mind you. and in pops a tape - true karaoke fare, with the usual mongolian standards. but THEN... karaoke 2unlimited. WOW. i am not sure if people are familiar with this. but let me tell you, you were not a child of mtv-asia or channel v or whatever it was at the time during the early nineties when 2unlimited ruled the airwaves. a guy and a girl from holland, techno dance robot lovers. and the song coming from the tape deck in a mongolian yurt in akesai? NO LIMIT by 2unlimited: "no no. no, no no no. no no, no no. no no, there's no limit" OF COURSE I knew the words in order to sing along. thankfully, then the dancers (whose car had broken down 2 miles from where we were in the middle of the desert, and then chose to run to our yurt in order to make it in time for their performance) arrived and forced us all to play dress-up in bridal outfits (fine, we were already wearing them) and taught us all to dance. i think we were all happy for our reprieve from drinking shots of baijiu, the grossest drink known to man. people have gone blind drinking homemade baijiu brewed in their bathtubs, and i did 11 shots of it at my last banquet. + 4 or 5 beers + really bad red wine + the piping hot cha that was too hot to chase with. i think i am tired now of filling in this little box.
i have a crush on johnny five from short circuit. people may tease me about this, but the way I figure it, after 3 near death experiences in my short life, i can embarass myself as much as i please because it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. did I ever tell you about the time I got locked in the men's bathroom of a chinese restaurant in rome for an hour? the manager had to let me out. or what about the time my mom was dancing and singing "you gotta lick it before we kick it, you gotta get it soft and wet..." for an audience of my friends... i think our time here is at an end, if you actually read all of this, I will share one last tidbit about me ñ i make a mean gravity bong out of an entire lake and a milk jug. or at least my alter-ego 'grandma barbie' does in fuzzy slippers and a red kimono.
in conclusion, i really miss my friend mike who i will one day marry. he once called and sang T.U.R.T.L.E. power by vanilla ice (in its entirety) on my answering machine (or was it the "do the bart-man?"). he worked on a mary-kate and ashley movie, too - i don't think people get any cooler. - General Information
